It's all about the music at this shabby bar on Center Gai, run by an indie music
promoter. Join an eclectic mix of local and international regulars who swig beers
(¥650) and chat beats under the watchful eyes of taxidermic elk. Sister club Echo
downstairs has a small dance floor and a groovy jumble-sale decor.

Sound Museum Vision
CLUB

Tokyo's newest club, opened in 2011, is a cavernous space with four dance floors.
With a sleek modern interior and not so much of a cruisy vibe, Vision is downright
classy for this side of Shibuya. A solid line-up of international DJs plays mostly
house and techno. Bring ID.

Shibuya Oiran
BAR

You can't miss this siren of a bar, with its bright red facade, the colour of
a torii
(the entrance gate of a Shintō shrine) and geisha lips. Conveniently located near
the clubs, Oiran is the perfect place to start the night. It's a
tachinomi-ya
(standing-only pub), though some of the original cocktails are designed to knock
you off your feet (the 'Crazy Hachibei': sake and Jagermeister).
