1950s tiki karaoke dive in Japantown
7 Bamboo is a tiki karaoke dive in Japantown, open since 1950 and one of the older bars of its kind in the Bay Area. The draw is nightly karaoke in a dim, nostalgic room — no cover, cheap drinks, and a mixed regular crowd that has long included a queer-friendly contingent. It's not a gay bar, but it lands on local queer-night lists as an easy, unpretentious detour a little north of the downtown core.
