Description

Albatross has been open since 1997 and is the only bar in Omoide Yokocho, the Showa-era eating and drinking lane by the west exit of Shinjuku Station. The bar describes itself as a gallery bar, with a chandelier hanging close overhead and artwork on the walls; it shows work by young artists across its branches. It opens every day of the year and stays open until at least 2:00 the next morning. The Omoide Yokocho shopping-street page gives a maximum capacity of 45 and lists payment as cash.
