Tokyo’s Lion Cafe in Audio Magazine

  I have been there several times. That place is magical.

    I've been there once, but had some language barrier issues (I visited at a weird time of day and as far as I know I was the only guest). Maybe you know: what's going on upstairs? Is that also part of the cafe or a private area?

      Third floor has been closed for as long as I've been going (since around 2014), I assume that it's in disrepair or can't be staffed reasonably.

  I remember being in Tokyo with a friend and we were looking for this famous place. After looking around, we eventually ended up in the Ginza Lion. To be fair, this was a much welcome break from being everything Japanese. Here you had meat, beer and a sense of Germany, and it was real nice. Looking at this article though, it seems we ended up at the wrong place, and I might have missed out on our original famous destination. Oh well. We had a good meal and a good time. We did that a lot in Tokyo :)

  Shibuya's Lion Cafe is the absolute best place in the world to work off your hangover on a Sunday morning. It feels sacred, an altar to caffeine and hifi audio. God I miss this place, and miss Tokyo. Can't wait to go back when the world opens again after Covid.
