01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Head down the steps and open the door, and the genial master bartender greets you into the homey atmosphere of bar rj. Tucked discreetly away in the basement of Higashi-Gotanda, the bar carries a warmth that easily draws you into the conversation and groove of the room, even if you stop by completely solo.

Time spent sipping here is backed by a dependable drink lineup, running from standard beers to spirits, wine, and cocktails mixed to match your mood. Perched at the counter, you can savor drinks crafted by the master while nibbling on light bar bites at an unhurried pace.

The venue's signature charm lies in the live music: acoustic sets performed by the master on guitar or piano. Listening to the live melodies or humming along makes an evening after work or an outing while traveling feel like something truly memorable.

Payment can be made by credit card as well as various code-based smartphone payments, including PayPay, Rakuten Pay, and d Barai. When you want to unwind in Gotanda over good drinks and live music, it is an easy place to drop in.
