TORIBRO defies bar stereotype by whisking fun cocktails with ‘otaku’ joy – Fri, July 1 2022

TORIBRO delivers a colorful nightlife experience for pub-crawlers who are tired of the ‘otaku’ and ‘wibu’ stereotypes. 

By taking a single step into TORIBRO alone, any patron immediately discovers that the bar owners really love Japanese pop culture.

Case in point, once a patron opens the sliding entrance door, they are immediately greeted by a large, framed poster of Japanese gothic metal band Dir En Grey. As they explore the bar’s interiors, they find more Japanese pop culture adornments, including a flat screen that, instead of playing smooth jazz music typical of most nightlife spots in Jakarta, plays Japanese pop music and anime soundtrack of the patron’s choosing. It completely caters to its otaku target market: those who are deeply into Japanese pop culture.
