Buzz-R

Buzz-R has been part of Kagoshima’s gay nightlife for almost 20 years, and this small men-only bar packs plenty into its cosy space. There’s a DJ booth, music, visuals and karaoke, plus a surprisingly big drinks menu covering cocktails, shochu, draft beer and even Jägermeister on tap.

The crowd ranges from locals to visitors from elsewhere in Japan, with plenty of solo drinkers dropping by.
