Wow that’s wonderful! I wanna visit them all!

There should be a steampunk place as well.
Like getting drinks with dry ice served in test tubes :)

New here btw, love this place! <3

That place would be heaven for me. Definitely a must-see whenever I get to go to Tokyo.

Joshua, I’d go there. Just send out invitations. Or make it just like the novel, tell people they’ve been appointed, give them some space to wait in and a locked door. Great idea.

Which of the Gibson novels has that creepy bubblegum bar?

Pity the last Gibson, Spook Country, mainly consists of descriptions of what designer did what chairs, glasses, clothes etc. It’s crammed with it.

I bet the japanese can afford to be stunningly cool, seems there’s an audience there for almost any exclusive taste.

‘Eat me’. That cat-head is such attractive food (and a bit scary). Nice images!

Actually the Kafka bar was mentioned in Idoru

Nic - that Russian Roulette takoyaki sounds like my kind of food - I'm already mad about the regular kind.

Joshua - that's hilarious. DO IT. Nothing nerdy about Kafka!

And, if everyone's really in the mood for some literary doom dining, in St.Petersburg I fell in love with a place called The Idiot was, believe it, Dostoevsky themed. Their food was absolutely incredible and some of the tables were fashioned from antique sewing machines. And with desert? Icy vodka - on the house!

it just occurred to me, that i should open my own kafka themed bar. the idea being, you just wait in line, and never get in. or you get in, but then can’t order a drink. it’ll be called the castle, and it’ll be excelllllent.

nerd up.

You’ll enjoy the Lockup, I hope. I went there with a group of friends in May and had a great time. The food and drink is all very scary and usually has a surprise in store. The “Electric Shock” cocktail is brill but be careful of the Russian Roulette Takoyaki, if you pick the wrong one, the chilli will put you out of action for ten minutes!
