Frost was already popular for their mani/pedis, but when they moved down the road, they wanted to get into the bar business, too. It seems an odd combo, and the persistent acetone smell confirms it, but what it lacks in scent it makes up for in reliability. They have a solid offering of imported beers (¥18-60), wine and coffee, as well as a short list of unique and fruity cocktails (¥48-55). They can also get you Gung Ho fare delivered if you’re peckish after your polish. It’s not the slickest place in town, but it’s friendly, which is all we want from our local barman/nail technician.
Our rating: 3/5 stars
DETAILS
