SHIBUYA: TGIFridays for 4-7pm Happy Hour... not as friendly and comfy as other spots.

I stopped by TGIF Shibuya a few months a go and it was closed for renovations so decided to check out the atmosphere this day.

Sign outside with Happy Hour 4-7pm

Ordered my favorite Spicy Buffalo Bites... have to say TGIF Roppongi has juicier bites but due to the lack of tabasco tinted spicy sauce covering the chicken kept super crispy.

Even bottled beer is 50% off.

FYI: There is a 10% service charge tacked onto the bill.

I'd have to say the bar area is just too big... there is no friendly mingling that usually occurs at other locations.

If you want to hit up Happy Hour at TGIF I'd probably have to suggest Harajuku for its coziness/awesome bartender flare show, Ueno for its friendliness or Roppongi for its liveliness.

ROPPONGI: Friday's Happy Hour! 50% Off All Drinks.

Need a place to hang out before meeting up with friends or a great pre-drink spot before heading out? Can't beat FRIDAY's 50% off drinks from 5-7pm.  The best value is probably the Large 600yen Draft Beer (about pint+ size) that will cost ya only 300yen... other than that there are great Alcoholic/Non-alcoholic shakes (the Oreo Ice Cream shake looked great). Drink Menu http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g572206/menu5.htm or http://www.tgifridays.co.jp/html/menu.html

If you show the bartender this coupon it should take 10% off your bill (http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g572206/map1.htm).   Oh, the bartender will let you know around 6:55pm that last order is about over... you can stock pile drinks if you want to stay longer.

Asked about the bartender bottle tossin show but that usually happens around 9-10pm... but might get lucky and watch them do a little somethin somethin.

The hostess was bilingual and menu in English so easy easy. No worries if you are alone, there were quite a few foreigners there enjoying a drink at the bar counter.

Location: ROPPONGI (About a minute from the intersection... if you reach McDonalds or Don Qujiote you've gone too far).

Address: Tokyo, Minato-ku, Roppongi 3-12-6
