Folk Rock Bar Phoebe

Osaka


Crammed with vinyl and knick-knacks, Phoebe looks like a drinks counter operated out of an old hippie's storage closet (we mean that in a good way). The friendly owner spins folk-rock tunes on the record player, mixes good cocktails and serves tasty food. There's an English sign out front.
