This is not about one bar; it is just a guide on how they work in Japan. It's not the same as the US at all. Most people go to bars/pubs to drink with friends and Japanese seldom talk to anyone outside there group they came with. In fact, it's almost rude! However, there is hope for the people who just want to meet people and that is a type of bar/pub called a "Gaijin Bar" for foreigners. Not only are most bars not for meeting people some hate foreigners and most are run by the criminal underground known as the "Yakuza". I always feel weird when entering a non-Gaijin bar so I usually just stay clear of them.
