Club Dragon

Japan may have its roots firmly grounded in traditions but acceptance levels are pretty high here. The nightlife in Tokyo bears ample proof of this fact. Gay clubs in Tokyo are not frowned upon and places like the Club Dragon attract a steady stream of men throughout the week.

About Club Dragon

Club Dragon is housed in the basement of the Accord Building in the Shinjuku San-chome area of Tokyo. Going great guns for the last ten years or so, Club Dragon is the quintessential gay bar where beefy men clad in the de rigueur skintight jeans, thick leather belts and white tees roam about.

The ambience herein is anything but subtle. The staff is in their G-strings, all-male videos are on air and there are many couples who actually use the dance floor as their backroom to steal a few intimate moments to themselves. The music dished out here is very pleasant and ranges from techno, Europop, house and J-pop. Amongst all the various Tokyo night clubs, the setting herein is certainly very eclectic.

The Club Dragon attracts a young crowd, both foreigners and locals, mostly men in between 25 and 35 years of age. Their motive for being here: unwinding over a couple of drinks, swaying to the beats of the house and of course, to make new acquaintances. In fact, Club Dragon, Tokyo is reputed as a happy hunting ground for men looking to rope in a partner for the evening or for the rest of the life.
