Nanao

Justice
Located on Ribbon street, across from Hokkoku Bank

This is a recent addition to Nanao's lacking night scene. It blasts pop, rock, and hip hop music in a club-like atmosphere, though there is no dance-floor. It has karaoke, snacks, and cheap 500 yen drinks. But, be advised there is a "seating fee", which makes this bar only slightly cheaper than the average karaoke bar... depending on how much you drink.

This small but friendly bar is run by a small but friendly mama-san. It's specialty is Japanese sake, and karaoke is available. Great for a few drinks and karaoke with friends.

Margarita's

Open 18:00-2:00. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays
2 minute walk east from Nanao station, near Nanao city hall.

The best and possibly only proper bar in Nanao. The atmosphere is simple and the owners are very kind and love chatting with new people. The bartender is always willing to make any drink request, and does so with flair. Try a Flaming Dr. Pepper - a unique specialty favoured by the local English teachers.

Located behind the Sunkus on the main intersection just north of Nanao station

The energetic mama-san will greet you warmly with a hug and a microphone as you enter this karaoke bar. Everyone who comes here has a great time singing and drinking and making new friends. It's easy to forget how much you sing and drink having so much fun though, so don't be surprised to see large bill at the end of the night.
