The question of nightlife in Hakuba has come up again in another thread so I thought I would give it its own. The main strip of Echoland is looking the goods this year.

Rockbridge
Master Braster
Que Tips
Garage 902 bar
B Bar
Mix Bar
Snowed Inn is still on the cards.
There is another but I don't recall its name

There is talk of a night shuttle for Hakuba as well which would be great. I will keep you informed.

Master Braster is the shit man

Snowed Inn - where's that? I like the name haha

you are not a local till you know where snowed inn is

duude what are you talkin about? one glass of red wine and you've passed out on your own floor ---- you never make it out to bars

I like the sound of Que Tip - is that a hip-hop bar?

Haha at least I do go out or get invited out

Our new Hakuba Guide section has just gone online. Hopefully we might get some Hakubars who want to be on there. At the moment, nothing to eat or drink there!

I don't think I could beat walking into Rockbridge to find the bartender on one side, and his mate on the other side with no shirt on wearing a motorbike helmet, both paraleytic. I love the bars they have there and I truly hope they stay the same this year. Tiny bars with a few people, fun rowdy times.

Qtips was always 1000 yen entry, screw that! I got the feeling it was the place the western locals went to pick up, and yes, hip-hop!

i'm off to rockbridge now, emmm someone invited me out

a burn for a burn

Thanks TJ for the list.

Cool looks like a few places to go out. Looking forward to that. As there is so many I wont have have to come over and open the 4P Bar (Panhead Pete's Pleasure Palace) and instead can just go out for a bevys.

wow that national holiday felt like a whole weekend! good times dancing in rockbridge the other night (what night was it again?) and then 902 last night... good crew out there! damn these 6am sessions have got to stop when the snow comes though

i hate you

i hate mark lol

lol

Are weekends any good there in those mentioned bars?

It sounds like there is a bit of a vibe growing in Hakuba for this season. A healthy apres ski culture is good for us all! Definitely not enough in most Japanese ski resorts.

Update
Snowed Inn will be opening very soon.

The Bar not on the list sorry this came late i the Whitehorse wine bar.

We need to get some of these places onto the hakuba page ive put out stuff but everyone didnt seem all that interested at the time. TJ contact me about this maybe we can convince them together.

36 days before I have a drink at the Whitehorse Bar... and I will be needing it, TJ.
