Cheap drinks at Korakuen
So, we decided to head over to Tokyo Dome for the last game of the season. And being cheap, we opted for the beer garden although the game itself was probably sold out anyway.
Now, I think we are going enough to be regular customers...unfortunately the all-you-can-drink in two hour special was discontinued. I mean, really, how could they do that to me?
Despite that, we stayed longer than we usually do. And, of course, drank less. A beer is 680 yen, so it is still a bargain compared to Roppongi, right?
After that, we went to our customary second party spot, a pub in the LaQua complex next to Tokyo Dome. It has an outside deck, so it is cool. Even better, the bar was hosting all night happy hour to celebrate the end of the baseball season. Woo! Having no idea at the time, I had to ask twice how much the drinks cost because it was so cheap. 670 yen bought a scotch on the rocks and a jumbo-sized (=almost a pint) cuba libre.
The picture above was our only clue...I understand "sale", although "happy hour" would have made been more clear. In any case, that more than made up for the beer garden disapppointment. Sorry about the quality of the picture...I took it with my mobile phone.
