About this place
At Bar b.p.m., part of the pleasure is choosing not only what to drink but also what to hear next. Visitors report that they can pick a request from a songbook, which the DJ then plays. Some have requested music from the 80s to the 90s. Taking part in the music selection while sipping a drink is one of the bar’s distinctive charms.
Menu listings put beer, gin, tequila and lemon sours at 700 yen each, and nihonshu (Japanese sake) at 1,000 yen. Scotch, bourbon and Japanese whisky are listed at 700 yen. Red and white wine are available by the full bottle for 4,000 yen, while sparkling wine is 5,000 yen. For a cocktail, one visitor’s account of trying a BPM original may offer a useful steer.
Settle in for a drink with the music, then request a favourite track and order another, shaping the mood of the evening with your own selections. Payment is cash only. The menu also lists soft drinks, including ginger ale and tea, at 600 yen.
