STUDIO MULE

Very good sound. Good music. But man, that is not a place for music lovers, but only a place for people wanting to get robbed. The wine is so overpriced, vibe is so so, and the waiter is so proud of himself. You dont even know the price of the wine he’s pouring at you. Until you get an awful bill. And if you dare asking for a menu upfront, like I did, you’ll get a cocky attitude on how the menu changes everyday. I love vinyls, i love music and bars, so it hurts to say, but for the next me looking for a nice bar in Tokyo, I’d say, dont go. Plain simple.

I was so exited to visit this place after hearing so many recommendations from my japanese friends. I am a wine lover and a foreigner living in Japan. It is first time to experience paying the price of the bottle for a glass. 4200¥ for a glass in which bottle value is 4800¥. I fully understand bars gotta make a living but the pill is tough to swallow. Honestly, I went to a lots of bars accross Japan and usually a glass can be up to 1200~2000+ if the wine is exceptional. Anyway, there are many other great wine bar with reasonable price in Japan. Unfortunate to say but this bar is a tourist attraction. 😔 Besides, music was OK, cellar looks truely awesome, too bad it gotta empty your pockets.

Amazing decor and incredible music/ audio system, but the wine is expensive. We had a couple of glasses and enjoyed the vibe of the listening bar, but where there is no menu you can get caught a little off guard with the pricing when the bill arrives!

Extremely overpriced for what you get. It’s odd for a wine bar not to let guests taste before committing to a full glass. While the decor is pleasant, the atmosphere feels off - and for such a great vinyl collection, they let the music stop far too often. There are far better listening bars in Tokyo worth your time and money.

It’s a pity really, music it’s amazing but how come they charge you 60 euros for two small glasses of wine without even showing you a menu in advance? It would have been nice to choose or see prices. I felt scammed.

recommended to those with strong interest in music and wine negative reviews miss the point.... very classic serious japanese style place studio mule is super curated.... if price is most important factor for you go somewhere else the wine list leans natural and rare, the music is all vinyl, and the vibe feels intentionally low key music selection is best in the city staff is kind, the space felt calm and personal if the wine and music don’t speak to you though, this might not be your spot

Honestly I really enjoyed it. The low average rating is really based on people's ignorance or lack of research before visiting so unfair I would say. The atmosphere was relaxed but quite exclusive seeming so the pricing while relatively expensive was not all together surprising. The quality of the wine was very good so no complaints there with some nice comp snacks provided. The soundtrack was excellent & well curated. Service was somewhat minimal but it comes with the territory at a lot of places like this. They have a delightful Shiba Inu pup on site for top vibes! (I played with him for too long)

Tourist Scam, don’t go. Music and overall design was great, but ended up paying over 50€ for two glasses of 0,1cl of wine without seeing a menu prior.
