Advocates Cafe
The open-fronted corner cafe-bar on Naka-dori where Ni-chome's nightly pavement block-party begins — drinks in hand, crowd spilling into the street.
Advocates Cafe is widely cited as one of the most foreigner-friendly bars in Shinjuku Ni-chome, with a small terrace-style street-level setup that spills onto the laneway. It operates as a casual starting point for a Ni-chome night out, attracting a mixed local and international crowd. Staff have generally been noted as English-accommodating. Hours and cover policies shift seasonally so editors should verify current operation.
