If you’re looking for a bar with a slightly older crowd and a very European atmosphere, Café Barrel is the trendy place among Japanese in the area but where few foreigners go. One reason is the prices, as a couple of draught Belgian beers and a small snack can set you back over £25.

Sports and music fans love Caribbean Court for its large TV screen, which broadcasts local and international concerts. Drinks are reasonably priced from £2.50 and there’s a dart board for those who fancy a game.

One of the very few hostess bars in Osaka that is both inexpensive and welcomes foreign customers, Cocktail Space BB offers drinks for under £5 and conversation with beautiful Japanese hostesses, many of whom are models trying to pay the bills. Hostess bars have a dodgy reputation, but Cocktail Space BB is nothing more than a place to enjoy good Scotch at reasonable prices.

Osaka’s most famous strip cabaret offers nightly shows, and the clientele includes the rich and the famous. Entrance fee is £30, but private shows are available at an extra cost. Juso Music Cabaret Club can be hard to find—it’s about six minutes east of Hankyu Juso station by foot. Or look for the bright blue minivan that’s parked off to the right at the end of the covered arcade that runs east from Juso station. It will take you to the club, and back, for free.
