Shinjuku: All You Can Drink Party & English Chat Night

Summary

Shinjuku party night with drinks, games, and new friends

You’ll walk into a buzzing Shinjuku bar alone but leave with new friends, maybe some wild Jenga stories, and more than a few laughs over shared drinks. Wristbands make starting conversations easy (even if you forget what your color means). All you can drink is included until 10pm — just bring your curiosity and see where the night goes.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I almost bailed on this Shinjuku all you can drink party — solo nights out in Tokyo always make me nervous. But as soon as I walked down those steps into the bar (it’s tucked away under a ramen shop, classic), someone handed me a wristband and grinned like we’d met before. The place was already humming by 7:30pm, that kind of low chatter mixed with clinks and bursts of laughter. My wristband was orange — “fun time,” apparently — though I kept eyeing the pink ones and wondering if anyone else felt as awkward as I did.

Our host, Yuki, had this way of making everyone relax without trying too hard. She explained the color codes for the wristbands (I forgot half of them instantly), but it did help break the ice. There were stacks of Jenga blocks on every table, Uno cards scattered around, and people switching between English and Japanese mid-sentence. I tried to say something in Japanese to Li from Sapporo — she laughed so hard she nearly spilled her chu-hi. The drinks came fast; honestly, it’s easy to lose count when it’s all included until 10pm.

I still remember the smell — that mix of sweet citrus from someone’s highball and whatever snack they’d brought in their bag (someone had konbini karaage). At one point, a guy named Sam taught me how to say “cheers” properly (“kanpai!”) and we toasted with three others who were just as lost as me. The standing style meant you could drift from group to group without feeling weird about it. Time went quick; suddenly Yuki called us together for a photo (I blinked at the flash) and then it was over by 10pm. Walking out into Shinjuku’s neon chaos felt different after that — like I’d actually connected with people instead of just passing through.
