"Shojo’s Dojo looks and feels like that secret layer you always dreamed of having as a kid—complete with a hidden doorway to a converted warehouse with arcade games, a pool table, and foosball. But because this place is for adults, they’ve also got sake flights, Lebanese beer, and wine. Maybe it’s the playful decor or the 21% abv house sake, but everyone here is absurdly friendly. It’s the sort of place that brings out your inner child—where you can bond with strangers over your love of dinosaurs, and everyone chimes in with their favorite (this actually happened to us). Play pool with your new pals, order a round of sake, or lounge in a comfy rattan chaise. Snacks like wasabi peas and kimchi chips are always available, but they also host pop-ups, including the best (and only) Nicaraguan sushi we’ve ever had.
