Thirty years or so ago, the bar below was a butchers. Falling returns, however, meant a rethink, and so a bar it became. A decision that seems to have been a good one, as not only is it still in operation, but it also has a steady stream of customers.
Filled with cuttings and photos from the owner’s baseball-related past, it’s a happy home-from-home for him, and a similarly happy drinking hole for those who drop in.

A lot of memories there! Looks like a lot of fun too!
Lee says
Yes, a lot of his life on the walls. And it was — great fun. Very relaxed atmosphere, with people coming and going; all of whom were nice and friendly.
Al says
That does look like fun! 🙂
Lee says
It was. Nice people, good food and cheap booze. Nothing at all to dislike!
Squidpuppy says
Flowers – that seems unusual. Totally changes the mood of the place. And those gilt framed pictures – an odd suggestion of “class” amid the proletarian.
Lee says
Yeah, the flowers are a nice touch, and the gold frames fascinated us too. Not at all what you’d expect to see.
Sean says
Looks like a fun place to relax after a long day. Great photos.
Lee says
Cheers. Yes, it really was. Great host, with equally good food, booze and regulars. Very tough to beat.
frank says
do you remember where is this place?
Lee says
If I remember correctly, it was Nishi-Tokorozawa. Or at least somewhere around there. Can probably get a location on Google Maps if you are keen on going.
