Cozy, non-smoking gay bar in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ni-chome. Relax in 'Eddie’s living room' with no cover charge and a friendly queer vibe.
Navigating the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku Ni-chome can be a whirlwind, but Bar Kumpel offers a tranquil sanctuary for the global queer traveler. Featured on our Pride Nav gay map, this intimate Tokyo staple is affectionately known by locals as 'Eddie’s living room.' Unlike many high-energy spots in the district, Bar Kumpel specializes in a relaxing, homey atmosphere where conversation takes center stage. What sets Bar Kumpel apart in the Tokyo gay bar scene is its welcoming, non-smoking policy and the absence of a cover charge—a rarity in this bustling neighborhood. Whether you are one of the local gay men or a visitor exploring Japan’s LGBTQ+ culture, you’ll find a diverse and friendly crowd here. The venue is 'BYOF' (Bring Your Own Food) friendly, allowing you to settle in with your favorite snacks while enjoying reasonably priced cocktails starting at just ¥500. Located on the 5th floor of the Takamine Building, it’s the perfect spot to start your night or wind down in a queer-friendly space that feels like home.
