Patrick Miller

High-energy Italo since 1985, with a dance-off circle in the middle of the floor. Friday only. Nothing else in the world is quite like it.

Bossa Nova Civic Club

A tiny tropical-dark room that has outlasted every club that opened around it. Cheap, sweaty, permanently correct.

Kitcheners Carvery Bar

A 1902 pub that became the room where Johannesburg’s modern scene grew up. Cheap, loud and completely unbothered by fashion.

Forestlimit

Bonobo

A converted wooden house near Yoyogi-Uehara holding maybe forty people. Take your shoes off upstairs.

Toto’s Garage

A car-repair-shop theme, a jukebox of rock, and the least fashionable good time in Bandra. Unchanged since 1993 and all the better for it.

Damas

Gramps

Beco 203

Oath

Tiny, mirrored, and open until the trains restart. Where Shibuya goes at five in the morning.

Mood Ring

Ruby Room

Someplace Else

The Park Hotel’s pub, and the room that kept Indian rock alive when nowhere else would book it.

Olypub

Fluorescent lights, wooden tables, and a rum-and-kabab ritual that has not changed in seventy years. Not a club. Absolutely a night institution.
