Liquidroom

This live music and club venue is often described as ‘legendary’ in international publications. It was born as a scruffy venue for gigs and club nights in Shinjuku’s seedy Kabukicho district, but after a move to the more upmarket Ebisu, it now offers fewer club nights and more straight-up live events. A long, rectangular room with a few seats in the back, it’s a great place to catch a show. You can pick up a free monthly schedule from Tower Records or HMV.
