Of a similar mould to Cave Bar, and located on the opposite side of the same building, Gipsy King Bar is a little seedier and a little more expensive than its neighbor. Hip-pop and R&B dominate the soundtrack here – Dr Dre is King at the Gipsy Bar. The main room features a mid-sized dance floor that gets very packed, while a side room hosts ‘raunchy’ dancers. In truth, the performers don’t show nearly enough flesh – a bit of ass cheek is the best you’ll get. And while some might find the sports on the television behind the stage more distracting, the dancers manage to draw a crowd of horny gawkers nonetheless. Cute and efficient staff serve drinks that are edging towards pricey – spirits are ¥40, beers are ¥30-35 and cocktails start at ¥40. Draught Carlsberg and Tiger beer are on offer. The decor of Gipsy King Bar is pretty ordinary, but it’s too dark for that to really matter and snazzy flashing lights provide compensation. Leaking air-con is annoying though. Multiple flaws aside, Gipsy King Bar is a fun and lively place to spend a night. Well worth a visit.
