【本町 バー】Osaka Salon Bar（大阪サロンバー）

The owner was super chill and helpful! The atmosphere was really good. Would definitely come back whenever I comeback!
Had a great time talking with everyone there, friendly people, good drinks! Definitely recommend!

What a gem! Such a great atmosphere, delicious drinks and Jean the bartender and owner was such an amazing host. He knows so much about Osaka, the culture, and has such great taste in drinks and overall vibes! The space is so cool and filled with carefully selected decore. Regulars and traveling folks alike can come enjoy a great conversation. There’s a reason people have been coming back for 10+ years. Coming here was the absolute highlight of my trip. I’ll 100% be back next time I’m in Osaka.

Heartwarming welcome bar, with good atmosphere. Everyone can easily speak with each other. The bar owner will be happy to make you discover french alcohol.
Recommanded!

Super place!! Stumbled by this little nook in a side street of Osaka, looking for some shelter from the cool evening after quite a wet day. Our plan was to have a quick drink before settling down at our hotel. Before we knew it 3 hours had passed and we had such a great time speaking to the owner and just getting to know the locals. Jean was nice enough to give us his recommendations for Kyoto (the next on our journey) before we bid everyone farewell, having sampled his connection of Japanese Whiskey! Would recommend to anyone passing by the area who just wants a quick drink a chat and some downtime, away from the busy city!

Stayed close by and stopped in for one drink, had such a good time we stayed til close. Great music and atmosphere, peach beers were delicious too. Will come again!

Osaka Salon is an oasis! Jean is such a great guy to chat with whether it’s in Japanese, English, or French. It was a great opportunity to learn more about Japan in regards to culture, society, and even politics from someone who has a global perspective. He has a good selection of Japanese whiskies to sample and an even more impressive collection of vinyl he plays. You want pizza? He’ll dial up a spot down the street and you can walk down and pick it up, come back and pick out some old school records to spin. Want other food recs, no prob.

It was really a haven and a place to recharge. You can bring the whole fam.

Beautiful bar - so hospitable and such amazing patrons. Great for solo travellers. Thank you for having me.

From the intimate atmosphere, to the amazing selection of drinks (sakes, gins, or even liqueurs and spirits from Europe such as Chartreuses or Pastis), Jean will expertly guide you to have a wonderful moment.
Our visit will remain one of our best memories from Japan. Much thanks from Paris 🫶

Fantastic little bar in Osaka. Jean, the French owner, is friendly and makes delicious, well-balanced cocktails with studied care. It’s an Osaka gem you should not miss.

You have to walk through a restaurant to get upstairs, but once you do, the French ambience greets you. I always enjoy nice conversation and affordable drinks 🍻

Had a great night full of nice conversation/connection and drinks here. We felt right at home even though we don’t speak Japanese. The owner speaks English French and Japanese. The drinks but above all the atmosphere and conversation with the super friendly owner made it very special. Highly recommended to anyone!!

Both regulars and visitors agree that Osaka Salon is "the place to be" when you are in Osaka.

The atmosphere is francophile but not only and this is what makes the charm of the place ; you can meet all nationalities and discuss anything and everything with a person you didn't know a few moments before.

Come and discover the atmosphere of this friendly place. You will be warmly welcomed by Jean, the owner.

Good times guaranteed. The only thing you will want when you leave the place.....is to come back as soon as possible.

Wonderful community bar hidden on the second floor of a building - you have to cross another bar on the first floor to go to it. The French barman and owner Jean, if he's not too busy, has a lot of interesting life stories to tell to his clients, and can offer simple yet amazing French bar food to go with the drinks.

They make one of the best gin tonics I’ve ever had.

Great experiences! Very good option for internationals with cozy environment and nice cocktails. Owner can speak English/Japanese/French and very nice and open to have conversations. Highly recommended for everyone.

This place is a vibe. Great liquor selection, music, and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Very cozy place. You can go there alone or with friends and you will end up discussing with all the other customers. And always a warm welcome from the owner.

Best place to have fun with nice and welcoming people. A good melting pot french, japanese and so on. Friendly ambiance, good music, bartender is lovely. Anytime again without question.

The best and friendliest bar in Osaka! Just go there to meet international nice people and listen to good music!!
Everybody there can speak English, French, Japanese and more!

Best bar in Osaka ! The owner can speak Franch / English / Japanese as well as most of the other customers. Highly recommended place either if you live here or just visiting.
