A frat bar in Tokyo

If you're feeling a little Lost in Translation, the elegant New York Bar in the Hyatt Park hotel in Shinjuku-Shibuya offers sophisticated cocktails, wistful piano tunes, and stunning views of the city and Mt. Fuji.

One of the largest karaoke bars in Tokyo is Big Echo, with several locations including a 15-floor complex downtown and a popular three-floor version in the Roppongi Hills. Both locations feature huge plasma-screen TVs, extensive song lists, and doors open until 6 a.m. Another good bet for karaoke, as well as numerous bars in all forms, is the east side of Shinjuku in the former red-light district of Kabukicho. There you can find the '80s kitsch glory of Bar Plastic Model, club dancing and dart games at Tokyo Loose, and international sports and world beers at the Clubhouse.

More youth and nightlife culture can be found in the Shinjuku-Shibuya district at establishments like the dance club Xanadu and the cheap-drink mecca Bar Isn't It. Finally, if you'd like to escape the neon and enjoy some wines from around the world, Zoogunzoo in Omotesando offers over 100 Australian and New Zealand labels, while Shibuya's Mayu nestles you in strange but cozy fiberglass cocoons while you sip from their fine, primarily French, selection.
