Kuro-sawa
This chic izakaya (Japanese-style pub) is hewn from bare concrete and attractively low-lit, a fine setting to savour goodies like charcoal-grilled pork with ginger sauce. Look for the MOS Burger outlet on the ground floor.

Koba
Koba is a very chill place to enjoy a drink, pizza, pasta or curry and an eclectic range of music; friendly manager Bom is a musician and hosts live acts now and again as well as works by local artists. It's in a concrete building with a pool of water by the entrance, just behind Stussy.

J-Café
Homely and comfy are the watchwords at this breezy café-bar on Heiwa-Ōdōri. Big red couches lend a living-room feel, and graffiti art adorns the walls. Scrumptious waffles, crepes and panini are on offer. The sign outside has a stylized 'j' like an ampersand.

Lotus
Two floors above Opium in the Namiki Curl Building is Lotus, a stylish, Zenlike space where you can take off your shoes and relax on the raised floor amid cushions and low tables or sip cocktails at the bar. There's a little DJ booth here too playing great tunes.

Bar Alcoholiday
You can hear the karaoke wails as you approach this place, in a building crammed full of bars. Chie will be happy to serve you, particularly between 21:00 and 22:00, when drinks are ¥100 off. Look for the bright red Casa Blanca sign outside.

Organza
Bookshelves, floral wallpaper, old-fashioned furniture and a piano add to the busy retro surrounds at this dimly lit lounge bar. Organza hosts an eclectic schedule of live events (from acoustic guitar to cabaret), some with a cover charge, and it gets busy. Lunch is served on weekends.

Ninjō Ganko Yatai
Six small izakaya squeezed into one large room make up this convivial spot, where beer and sake come with the usual izakaya fare, as well as some local-style okonomiyaki. Take the sixth right off Yagenbori-dōri, and look for the lanterns and rope curtain over the sliding-door entrance.

Nawanai
This basement izakaya is an atmospheric place to mingle with locals over fresh fish and a range of local sakes. Try ko-iwashi (baby sardines), available either as sashimi or tempura (¥600). There is no English menu, but the owners will make sure you don't go home hungry – or thirsty. Take the fourth left off Yagenbori-dōri and look up and left for the illuminated sign in Japanese. Nawanai's in the basement.

Kuro-sawa
This is a trendy 'Japanese-style public house', hewn from concrete, with seating at the bar or on velvet chairs in a raised red-carpet area. It's worth coming for a drink just for the bizarre toilet experience. Food also served. It's in Ebisu-dōri arcade, on the 5th floor of a building opposite the Italian Tomato Café.

Koba
Cross the pool of water and go up the narrow stairs to this laid-back place, where the welcoming rock-music-loving guys behind the bar serve drinks and cook up small meals. It's in a concrete building, just behind Stussy.

Coffee Souko
Across the river behind the shrine is this little cafe, where coffees go for less than in the main street. Get your latte to go or grab one of the few tables. Look for the red van inside.
