These Tokyo bars are screening Olympic games and matches

This bar in Asakusa offers exactly what its name suggests. You can throw axes at a target while watching the Games with a drink in hand. The menu has the perfect combination of foods to snack on while watching sport, like pizza, fries, hotdogs and chicken nuggets. 

Kiten is a sports bar and izakaya just a few minutes' walk from Koenji Station. The owner is said to be a mega-fan of any team from Fukuoka, including the Softbank Hawks baseball team and the Avispa Fukuoka football team. 

Luckily for fellow sports fans, that means there is an 80-inch screen, plus three 40-inch TV monitors, perfect for watching Olympic events as they happen. Choose from a menu featuring over 100 different drinks to sip on while you watch – and don’t forget to order a plate or three of the bar’s karaage fried chicken.

Smack in the middle of flashy Ginza is this sports bar, which shows pretty much anything from international football matches to baseball – both from Japan and the US – boxing, and more. There's a 5m screen, a 2.5m monitor, a 60-inch TV and two 50-inch TVs, so you won’t miss a minute of the Olympic action. This bar is only one floor, but it fits up to 140 people, so you can bring some friends or make new ones while watching the Games.

Drinks-wise, you're looking at mainstays such as Carlsberg on tap, Guinness, Corona, Asahi and more. If you're peckish, their staple is a T-bone steak, served with a original, nine-spiced sauce. It's not the cheapest (¥6,000), but then again – it is 700 grams, and this is Ginza. 

Alvorada is best visited when there's a major soccer match on, as the owner is a passionate fan of both the Blue Samurai and the Seleção (Brazil's national team) and always comes up with something special for game nights. You can watch theOlympics here while feasting on delicious Brazillian cuisine like feijoada (black bean stew) or fried chicken.

A cut above your average sports bar, Dining and Bar Kitsune offers French-Japanese fusion sushi and a wide variety of quality sake. Creations like the Sushine (a combo of sushi and terrine, of course) are sure to get you salivating. The Games will be screening on several TVs attached to the wall on the main floor.

Luxury bar lounge Mezzo has two floors that each have their own distinct feel: the first floor boasts windowside seats where you can look down at passers-by heading to Roppongi Crossing, while the second floor is an exclusive VIP section with comfy sofas and private rooms, where you can watch the Games in style. If you’re not one of the lucky VIPs, don’t worry – you can catch all the action on screens on the first floor, too.

This Japanese-style gastropub along Roppongi’s Imoaraizaka serves traditional British pub food with a twist. The classic fish and chips are made with locally caught Pacific cod and the meat pie is made with Japanese Zao beef. Public Six has one massive 100-inch TV in the centre of the room where you can watch the Games live.
