Hub Umeda Chayamachi - Osaka

Good bar with a good choice of drinks and dips. every day a happy hour until 19 clock.

Walked around looked for food and stumbled onto this place. great atmosphere and they had FIFA playing. best of both worlds.

Good place even on weekdays. Was always packed with Japanese people. Weird that you have to wait in a line to get a drink considering it’s a pub, but it’s Japan what can you expect. The HUB beer was not that great, but they’ve got Kirin and Heineken on tap as well. Cheap prices Jack Daniels shots are like 500 yen.

A throbbing meat market after about 10, most nights. If that's your thing, go for it. Crowd usually 20-35 yr olds and sometimes older. Fish and chips, various other pub food. Small smoking area but it's not walled off.

Worst place for foreigners in Osaka. Thinking that it’s just another hub, I went there. I was surprised to see that it was full to more than its capacity and they were still trying to accept additional customer. Ironically 99% of the customer were Japanese and in the age group of 18-25. Even if there was no place to even stand, the rude bouncers were trying to push customers inside. While holding my glass, I managed to find a place to stand and was enjoying my drink when one of the bouncer came to me asked me to move to the corner which was already filled with customers. I enquired where is the place to stand? The guy almost snatched my glass and tried to manhandle me as if there was no tomorrow. I let him go with my drink and came out of the shop. The shameless bunch of bouncers and waiters did no attempt to stop me while the Japanese customers witnessed everything in a state of confusion.
