Sam & Dave Four

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 an even bigger dance floor and holds salsa nights on Thursdays; upscale Sam & Dave Two Shinsaibashi, 1 block east of Midosuji St. next to McDonald's (tel. 06/6243-6848), is the hot spot for hip hop, soul, and R&B. Hours are Sunday through Thursday 7pm to 4am, Friday to Saturday 7pm to 5:30am.
