Arty Farty

Incredibly fun and supportive dance spot! My friends’ go-to bar for a good time in Nichome <3 Everyone’s so friendly!

I went on a Saturday night. Not much of a crowd until 22: 30. Drinks okay. DJ mostly played American pop. There was even some dancing! Clean enough. I'd return!

外国人が多いけど、みんな陽気で朝まで楽しめます。深夜と朝方は羽目を外してる人もいて興奮しちゃいましたwストレートもバイもいるので、融和していて、とても平和！

店員さんの態度を低く評価している書き込みがありますが、6回くらい利用しましたが、浮かれちゃって飲み物こぼしたりゴミを放置する人がいて、ぎゅうぎゅうにごった返すと、床がベタベタ、ビチョビチョするので、掃除が大変だと思います。気を遣い利用すれば何も言われないと思います。。

By far the worst club ive been to its small the music is mediocre doesent seem like there is a lot of ventilation within the venue and the worst part is their opening times are highly inaccurate if they announce they open online they close many times due to no one going because the locals no to avoid this place also one day i left my bag in one of their lockers and they closed early and they didn't pick up or open for a week straight as i went multiple times when i finally caught them they charged me 2000 yen for my belongings whilst beeing super rude about it anyone thinking about clubbing i recommend a club just next door

On of my favorite Bar in Nichome. Been coming here since 2015 everytime i visited Tokyo. Lot of memories. Made lot of friends. The bar staffs might look bit intimidating but trust me just be nice and give them your smile, beneath those intimidating look & big build body they are some of the best and the sweetest people i know. Again! Just smile <3

Drink prices are reasonable and drink is strong <3

And for those who complained about losing their stuff, there are 2 lockers room (outside club & nearby the toilet) which only cost 300 Yen to use. If your items are valuable & the club is crowded, dont be stingy. Put it all inside the locker and enjoy your night with your friends:)

Our coats (3 coats and 1 jacket) got stolen at this bar. This is of course not the fault of the bar itself, but staff was incredibly rude and not helpful with finding our stuff. One of the staff members even yelled at us when we were asking for camera footage. Sad, because it was actually a fun night out! Still haven’t got our coats back.

The night I was there with friends, the place was PACKED. You enter from a staircase, across a hall, and into a small entryway, where you purchase your first drink on the spot as you enter. The crowd was enthusiastic and happy, but it was so crowded that I could only sit at the bar and calculate the best way to exit in an emergency (the narrow entrance seemed to be the only exit).

English follows:
外国人に対して店員の態度が悪すぎる。ロッカーがある事に気づいてなくて (入場の時もロッカーについて何も説明されていなかった) のでクラブ内のテーブルのフックにコートを3枚とジャケット1枚掛けていましたが、誰かに取られました。1月の寒さに半袖で帰れないので店員に協力を貰えるかと思って声かけたら、1人のスタッフ (サイドが刈り上げてる男性) が激しく「お前らの責任だからこっちに言うな。早く出ろ」と言われた。コートがなくなったのはクラブのせいではないですが、その態度はおかしすぎるでしょう。特に外国人の女性には全くお勧めしない。
そして、フロアーも狭いし、音楽も携帯のプレイリストで流れてた。

The staffs are way too rude here! We didn’t know that there was a locker and neither did the staffs tell us about it when we entered the club. So we hung our coats on a table with hooks but we realized that they were gone when we were about to leave. Naturally we told the staff about it but this one bartender (who had his hair shaved on one side) started screaming violently at us, called us rude names and asked us to get out. All we wanted to know was whether they could help us and such a rude treatment was unnecessary. I especially don’t recommend the place to a female foreigner.
Also, the dance floor is too small and the “music” is basically some dude playing his playlist off his phone.

Prices are ok.
People are cool.
You can dance.
You can wish Songs, but they do not play them except it are the most known Songs of mainstreamartists.

We had a pleasant dancing time here. Arrived at 0300 Friday night and the staff was pleasant, drinks poured well and quick service. Only pay cost of drink to enter. GREAT dancing floor with plenty of friendly faces and people from around the world.

Perfect gay venue to start the night out in Tokyo Ni-chome. The staff is lovely amd drinks prices are ok. Dont expect a big club, it is kind of tiny including the dance floor but the vibes and the energy are ver positive and perfectly set you up for a good night out.

The queer club to go in Tokyo. People there are pretty chill and they got good vibe. It's also pretty safe and foreigner-friendly

Eh. I'd skip it. The drinks are strong, but the place is tiny, and it gets WAY too full.

Not a negative on it's own, but it's moslty all Japanese with no english, and very few westerners, so making friends isn't exactly the easiest.

I'd go down the street to Dragon Men instead. That place is superb.

飲み物は1000円以内、腕にスタンプを押してもらえるので出入り自由、中にもロッカー有り (300円) 他の人も書いてたけど床がベトベトで滑る。ストレートも少なからずいた感じ。ダンスフロアはそんなに大きくない。良心的な感じだったのでまた行きたい。

I mean the club was cute and the music and drinks were good, but space became really cramped and moving was non-existent. I have never felt claustrophobic before, but the club already being as small as it is there were so many people jam packed that it was hard to go to the restroom that only allowed one person inside of it. The staff wasn't bad at all, I just really couldn't enjoy my stay because I was literally sandwiched in the club.

I always enjoy this club. No charge, but you have to buy a drink at the door. Music is usually ok. They have a request box by the DJ, but they don't seem to play the requests unless you ask them a few times.

Overrated. It replaces a club, but not as fun. Pop-centered music. Overcrowded. Nothing what it used to be 15 years ago.

Arty Farty is a lovely gay club in Shinjuku 2chome. Together with Dragon men, it forms the core of the LGBT community in Tokyo. This club usually has good DJ's and gives an excellent vibe for who want to enjoy a night out.

Very fun bar inclusive to foreigners. Although it doesn't hurt to say こんばんわ, すみません, or どもありがと！！

Don’t come here if you are foreign. We were straight up told no foreigners by the man at the bar tonight and quickly ushered out.
