Please watch out at club Voyager Stand Shibuya for people looking to scam you with “free drinks”. There are people there with the nomihodai passes (young Japanese/southeast-asian mixed guy that speaks some English with a pretty young Japanese girl) who will offer to buy you drink after drink and pretend to be drunk too, then all of a sudden the staff will come over and force you to pay for nomihodai yourself once they think you’re drunk enough. I had to drag two friends out of there and when I did the guy came running out magically sober as a bell suddenly not speaking any English anymore trying to bring us back in. Even when we went far down the street he still followed and tried to get us back in there. I only lost ¥6000 for the 3 of us but I don’t even wanna imagine what the fuck else they had planned should we have stayed. I don’t wanna assume that the whole bar is in on it, but the evidence just fits too well. And also, on their instagram page they advertise that it’s ¥1,100 for men/women nomihodai but on their posts it says ¥1,000, and then when you go in person it’s now ¥2000. There’s a lot more details I left out for sake of length, but just like I said, be careful of this bar and be very wary of any other establishments of this kind.
Edits: I’m not looking for sympathy of any kind, I’m all good I just wanna let people know of a scummy bar in particular. I know this is a common scam but not everyone knows that. No I wasn’t pulled in or anything, they didn’t have people pulling you in, it was only that guy after I had left. I was not drunk, I wasn’t even buzzed, I have a very high tolerance and when I recognize when it’s time to be series I sober up very fast.
