Kitanagasa-dori, Sannomiya, 5F

When the night winds down,
come up to the fifth floor.

A small bar run by a master who loves kabuki. Weeknights from 8pm until 5am. Loud nights and quiet ones both welcome.

The master

The master is the whole show.

The name 歌舞喜兆 is a play on Kabukicho, Tokyo's famous nightlife district, rewritten with luckier characters. This is not Tokyo. It is one kabuki-obsessed master's bar in Kobe.

What a customer wrote

“There was a really entertaining kabuki master, and it was genuinely fun. The master is flamboyant and hilarious.”

From a Google Maps review, translated from the Japanese.

The drink list is being put in order and will be published here. Until then, the best introduction is to take the lift to the fifth floor.
