Roppongi is a popular part of Tokyo with a ton of night life. Yesterday, I went into the city with Jenna, Lauren, Quail and Stacie to go to Barbacoa to have a girl's night (all the husband were elsewhere) before Stacie leaves. We went to Barbacoa, as always the food was wonderful. After Barbacoa we decided that we wanted to venture into the Roppongi district to see what it was all about.
The biggest issue with partying in Roppongi is you have to catch the last train home by 12, midnight because the trains don't run again until 5 am. Our original plan was the head home on the train at midnight. At about 11 pm, we all headed to the station, after a short discussion we decided that we were not going to go home, we were going to stay all night.
As you walk down the streets of the district there are many people standing outside of clubs and bars trying like leaches to hook on to you and suck you into their respective establishment. We ended up at club called Flower, after a bit of observation it was confirmed that most likely we had stumbled upon a gay bar with both gay and straight people there. We ended up staying there for the reminder of the night. Believe it or not, I think in hindsight the bar was more comfortable the a typical "straight" bar or club, because quite frankly everyone left us alone, we all danced, people watched, and had a great time.
Should we stay or should we go? Train station debate.

At about 3 am, we all started to lose steam, needless to say, we were outside the train station wanting for the doors to open at 5 am. Talk about a very fun, but a very long night.

I am not sure how people go to Roppongi on a regular bases, but it was a great experience.
I have attached a video and a few pictures, note how smokey the bar is in the video, I still feel like I smoked 25 packs of cigarettes and I don't smoke.
Cheers to a wonderful time with good friends.
