Rock Bar Heaven

Rock Bar Heaven Akasaka is a small, late-opening rock bar tucked into a basement in Akasaka, built around a house band that works through a repertoire of more than 200 songs spanning 70s hard rock, 80s metal, classic rock, blues rock, and British rock — think Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin through to Whitesnake and Mötley Crüe. Doors open at 8pm and the night runs until 5am, five nights a week (closed Tuesdays, Sundays, and national holidays).

What sets it apart from a straightforward cover-band bar is the invitation to participate: guests are welcome to sit in and perform, with the house band backing them up. A shelf of roughly 400 hard rock, metal, and classic rock vinyl records lines the room for between-set listening and requests. The venue also takes private bookings for parties and full room rentals, with bottle keep and reservations available.
