Matsuyama

Bar entertainment in Matsuyama

  1. Dish & Bar After Glow

    A few blocks east of the Ōkaidō tram stop (look for the English sign) is this excellent bistro, which boasts more than 200 varieties of wine from all over the world. Although it's tempting to choose some of the more familiar names, you can't go wrong with a chilled white from Yamanashi-ken.

  2. Underground Cafe

    A local and expat secret bar hang-out that feels more Honshu than Shikoku and serves Mexican food on the side. It's off the street leading to the ropeway; look for the Union Jack flag, so coolly out of context.

    Sala Sol

    The town's most popular foreigner bar is surprisingly cool, with excellent music and generous drink specials. It's also one for the few places in town where people dance…all night long.

    Peggy Sue Saloon

    Run by a music nut with a fondness for country music, this friendly bar is a treasure trove of cowboy-themed Americana. There's a Wurlitzer jukebox, and several guitars and mandolins on the walls that are just waiting for someone to take them down and start picking. The 2nd-floor sign is visible from street level. It's in a cluster of bars just east of Okaido Arcade.

    Chocobar

    This tiny shot bar located on a busy road has a regular hip-hop soundtrack and col­ourful decor. It's one of the few places in Matsuyama where passers-by can watch you get drunk.
