it's the only place to boogie in urawa. there's a regular attendance of 140+ foreigners and japanese. it's a monthly party from 8-9pm there's a humorous pub quiz and from 9-1:30am the disco.
it's a great place to meet people, there's no attitude, no age restrictions, the music's accesssible and ranges from fatboy slim thru to little richard. contact long@sta.att.ne.jp for more details.
