What makes Bar Kumpel stand out

Bar Kumpel is one of the cheaper venues in the district: there’s no cover, drinks cost from around ¥500, and bringing your own food is explicitly allowed. There’s no smoking. The bar closes at midnight and is better suited to a quiet drink at the start of the evening.
