Frommer's Review

With exposed, wrapped pipes and fluorescent lighting, this bar with a dance floor and pool table stages events several times a month, including salsa lessons every Tuesday. Happy hour is until 9pm. It attracts both a Japanese and gaijin crowd.

Attracting a larger foreign clientele is Sam & Dave Five in Nagahoribashi, across from the post office (tel. 06/6251-5333), which has a bigger dance floor and holds salsa nights on Thursdays. It's open Wednesday to Friday 7pm to 5am and Saturday 10pm to 8am. Sam & Dave Two Shinsaibashi, 1 block east of Midosuji Street near Softbank (tel. 06/6243-6848), has a Japanese clientele and is the hot spot for hip-hop, soul, and R&B. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday 7pm to 4am, Friday to Saturday 7pm to 5am.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
