Rock & Metal Bars in Osaka

23 bars

Osaka is the center of the rock bar scene in western Japan. Almost all of the bars are in Osaka City, around the Minami area (Namba, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori) and the Kita area around Umeda. Both are on the Midosuji subway line, so it is easy to visit bars in both areas in one night. Kyoto and Kobe are also a short train ride away. Metal fans have plenty of choice: most of the city's metal bars are built around 70s and 80s hard rock and heavy metal, with several in Shinsaibashi and Higashi-Shinsaibashi and more in Umeda and Doyama, and some keep guitars, amps and drums ready for guests to jam.
