ライブハウス・ベアーズ / Namba Bears

I've been going to shows for decades. I've seen shows everywhere from basements and record shops to theaters and arenas. Bears is by far one of my all time favorite venues. Very small and intimate. Excellent vibe. They have beer and food available, but you are allowed and encouraged to bring your own beer. Sound was excellent. I had no issues with sound levels dur8ng any bands set. I only made it to one show here during my stay in Namba, but I will make it a point to come back anytime I stay in Namba. I would go back regardless of who was playing.

Has an awesome time! Live music was super fun and we enjoyed both of the artists which played. Make sure you BYOB and arrive on time as performance stopped at 10:30!

My favorite local music experience in Japan. It might be a dirty and a small venue, but this is the spot to go to for local music. There were other tourists there and the music was very lively and fun. They give you flyers for upcoming shows while you're there which is a good way to advertise.

Best live music venue we went to in Osaka. If you want an insight into the authentic, local grunge scene this is the spot

Heart of punk and noise beats strongly here

It was an. Interesting experience for a tourst. Japanese heavy rock music, loud, enjoyable. Beer available and BYOB, which is awesome. Really friendly hosts and intimate, friendly feeling, besides the band names, lol. We saw ' Dirty is God.' their performance was legitimate and good.

Great dive to catch some of Japan's underground and experimental music scene. Shows typically range from ¥1800-¥2500.

Small venue with good live music. Make sure to BYOB!
