Jour

Bar†Jules, located on the first floor of Maneki-dori in Shinjuku Golden Gai, is a veteran concept bar with over 20 years of history, originally built around the theme of "a midnight boarding house" and "a transparent, beautiful world of boys created by women." Cast members once served guests as "dormitory students" in uniform—a style that earned the bar a devoted following. As of June 2026, the bar's official X (Twitter) account confirms the concept has evolved into a "classical maid" style. Following the passing of the founding owner, current owner Kahori Ito took over the reins and also became the second-generation owner of the Tokyo island cuisine bar "Kokkome" on the floor above. Settle into the intimate, Gothic-tinged interior and let conversation flow across the counter with a classically costumed host—an experience that sets this bar apart from the other 299 establishments in Golden Gai. Ideal for fans of boy's culture, costume play, and Japanese subculture, or anyone looking for a quiet, atmospheric drink alone.
