Oath

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


Oath is a tiny space covered in gilt and mirrors, dripping with chandeliers and absolutely not taking itself seriously. It's a very popular spot for pre-partying and after-partying, thanks to cheap drinks (¥500), fun DJs and a friendly crowd. Cover charge is ¥1000 (one drink included).
