THE LOCKUP

Ash and I got a recommendation to check out THE LOCKUP in Shibuya. Supposedly it opened last September and is a quite popular themed izakaiya. The concept is of a central European dungeon complete with cells and skeletons. Blue plastic mini-skirted policewomen meet you at the door after you walk through thier haunted house entrance including everything from caged crazy men that pop out of the dark to moving floors and doors that lead to no where. You're handcuffed and brought to your table where you're given a drink menu which reminds you of chemistry class!
All the themed drinks come in beekers. Some with petre dishes, crushing stones, syringes, or test tubes.
You can get drinks with fruit liquor and rock-pop cotton candy that crackles when you pour milk over it.
To mango juice with added passion fruit seeds.
To drinks where you drop in pills to add a little bit more flavor.
The food is cheap like any izakaiya and their plates all have skulls on them.
In addition to an eclectic course menu, The Lockup also promises to provide twice-nightly entertainment by turning out all the lights -leaving you in complete darkness for 2 minutes- while the staff runs around scaring everyone. It was FANTASTIC!!!!
I so want to go back!
