It's hard not to fall in love with the Jazz Piano Bar. Tucked away on a back street, this place is cozy, relaxing, and looks straight out of a movie. It is the most perfect little jazz spot ever. The proprietor is friendly and can speak English. Between occasional live events, staff entertains on the piano and bass. A full bar and light snacks are available. Cover charge is ¥300. Hours 20:00-25:00.

On weekdays (nights) there is nothing to do but there are some bars around the main street.
Aussie bar is one of them which is a "gaijin bar" literally foreigners bar. It's a friendly Australian bar but not so crowded on weekdays (even weekends recently).
How to go to Aussie bar: from the station, walk straight ahead to the nishikawa river and turn left, then walk for 2 mins , it's on the left side of the river.
Weekends you can go to club Matador which is a Latino dance club with english speaking staff. Friday nights they have salsa parties which are not crowded but on saturday nights every bored foreigner and japanese ladies who are looking for foreign guys are gathering there. The musics are south american based boring stuff but after few drinks you may like it. The place is hard to find and not so close to the station. Its somewhere in Tamachi area (adults area)
There are also some dance clubs but mostly japanese customers and expensive fees.
One is Club Mars (nearly end of the Momotaro main street) , ive forgot the other f.cked up places names...

Okayama - gateway to Shikoku Island
