Fun...just like home.

This bar is a great place for all seasons. And I think the previous commenter was right on when he mentioned the popularity going up when they hired the gaijin boys to walk around in speedos or very small undies. I know I enjoyed the view, and it reminded me of Los Angeles where the bartenders and servers are all pretty much scantily clad. It is also one of the bigger interiors that isn't crowded in every inch like Arty Farty or The Annex. You can go, drink, socialize, and have a great time. I have spent most of my night there, never really seeing the need to go elsewhere. Most people rotate in and out so if you stick around long enough the crowd will change completely. :-)

Really nice...everything.

If you're looking for a place that is relaxed, but not dead. Classier crowd without any pervs grabbing you or bothering you. Where you can listen to music, have a cocktail and STILL be able to listen to the person you're talking to without yelling or texting your conversation...then Kinsmen is the place to go. I always start out my evening there because I take a 2 hour train ride to get to Tokyo and I want some nice laid back atmosphere before diving deep into the Shinjuku madness. love it, great staff, great location, atmosphere, and good drinks!
