Oldies Uncle
オールディーズライブハウス アンクル
A Nishi-Chofu neighborhood bar running since 1988 — oldies, rock 'n' roll and disco on weekends, karaoke and regulars the rest of the week.

Oldies Uncle is a small, unpretentious live house-slash-snack bar five minutes from Nishi-Chofu Station, out toward the western edge of Tokyo's 23 wards and well outside the Roppongi/Shibuya cluster most of this guide covers — worth the trip if you want to see the oldies scene away from the more tourist-facing venues. It's been running since 1988.
Weekends (mainly Saturdays) bring a live band through three short sets of 1950s American-Graffiti-style oldies, rock 'n' roll, and disco numbers, requests welcome. On weeknights it settles into a regulars' karaoke bar instead — the venue is upfront on its own site that it's aimed at an older, established crowd and isn't the place for a loud young rock band.
What Visitors Are Saying
With only 10 public reviews, this is a thin sample — but the handful that exist are specific and consistent. Reviewers describe weekday nights built around recorded 1950s American-Graffiti-style oldies and rockabilly, switching to live band sets on weekends (three sets a night, taking requests), and note the crowd skews older and clearly regulars.
