What makes Hysterics stand out
Hysterics is a typical small Japanese bar with only a few seats, where the staff get guests talking. The crowd is young and local, and according to guests, foreigners are warmly welcomed. The bar occasionally organises small events, such as fortune-telling nights. Because of its small size, it fills up quickly.

- want to get to know Japanese small-bar culture
- want to get talking with locals
Not ideal if you …
- are looking to dance or for a big bar
