Live House

Cham Pan Pon

A 25-year-old Ebisu oldies live house, reopened in 2026 under a new name after its longtime Jan Ken Pon era ended.

This small Ebisu live bar spent roughly 25 years as Jan Ken Pon, a well-loved oldies house playing 1960s–80s disco, soul, and enka to a loyal regular crowd. In 2026 the venue rebranded as Live Bar Cham Pan Pon (a play on the old name, swapping in 'champagne'), pre-opening in June with the same live-band format alongside an organic-leaning food menu.

The room is intimate enough that different bands rotate through on different nights rather than one fixed house act, and the crowd still skews toward people who grew up on the original's oldies-and-karaoke energy. Given how recently it reopened, treat details here as first-pass — expect them to firm up as the new era settles in.

What Visitors Are Saying

Since this is a very new listing under its post-rebrand name, there are only a handful of reviews to draw from — treat this as an early signal rather than a settled consensus. What's there is consistent, though: reviewers describe an intimate room where you can watch performers up close, a specific fondness for oldies and Showa-era pop, and friendly, attentive staff.
