Albatross

🇯🇵Tokyo, Japan

Since 1997

A bridge between the rock scene and the art world, Albatross occupies a narrow three-story structure in Golden Gai rumored to have been a brothel in a past life. The owners lean into this with a decadent "Taisho Roman" aesthetic featuring crystal chandeliers, stag heads, disco balls, and red velvet linings. One of the few Golden Gai bars with a rooftop terrace offering views of the Shinjuku skyline.
