THE 27 CLUB

On the third floor of Shinjuku ACB Kaikan in Kabukicho sits a show pub that first opened its doors in a pre-launch phase in September 2022. The space carries on the atmosphere of the Hinomaru Cabaret that once stood here, with the staircase to the entrance and the sun-disc–shaped lighting left untouched for half a century. Step inside and you enter a strange, layered environment where Showa-era nostalgia and modern design bleed together.

Inspired by New York’s legendary Studio 54, the place doesn’t just want to be a bar but a cultural hub.

Every month on the 27th, dancers and artists from all over Japan gather here for a party that makes the date the best time to visit. While the grand opening hasn’t been announced yet, the plan is to eventually offer food service alongside drinks. For now, pricing stays accessible: admission is free on regular days with drinks starting at ¥1,000, while event nights charge an entry fee of ¥3,000.
