Top Rank Jazz Bar

If you’re a fan of music this is a MUST VISIT on your trip to Osaka. A testament to love and dedication to a passion for music. The proprietor has been running it for 42 years and it’s his life’s work the moment you step inside. Do not miss the opportunity to step inside and hear music the way it was meant to be heard. Top Rank Jazz Bar.. hitting it for real since 1972. Get some.

Amazing bar that we accidentally stumbled upon. Music is great, atmosphere is great, drinks are great. Will definitely be visiting next time in Osaka!!

Amazing bar to sit down enjoy a drink and let the owner transport back to another dimension with some timeless records.. HiFi system is on another level, as is his record selection.. kick back and enjoy

Amazing host, awesome music and nice selection of whiskeys. We tried called a few from the selection and the yuka third edition was definately our favorite.

Super cute bar in Osaka - barman is really nice. Had a fab time here ! Partner was very happy with the whiskey selection.

What a beautiful venue and a beautiful experience. Thank you Top Rank Jazz bar for your hard work in building this sound system and collection off music.

If you’re into jazz, please come here

Love the vibe here. Owner is super nice and fun to talk to. Drinks here are super tasty.

Incredible experience. First of all, and the most important thing - the owner is so nice with so much passion to music. Second, the place is unbelievable. I’m always seeking for vinyl bars to enjoy music and drink, and this guy created like 5 different system that are playing throughout the night. The sound is so unique for each sound system. I was blown away.

One of my favorite bar in Osaka. Especially if you love jazz and if you’re an audiophile. The collection of vinyls and CDs are immaculate. The owner is such a cool guy, he has been collecting for 50+ years and memorized every inch of the place. He could pick any records in the stack blindfolded. They play the records through several tube amps and vintage speakers. You could feel the passion that he has for jazz records and audio straight away. They also have a great lineup of whisky and if you like sweet drinks i’d recommend the Umeshu.

Super cute super quaint super dedicated owners. A real music and whisky lover! Must drop by if you are nearby. Need to pay a Servië charge for the music and snacks but it is worse it!!

Fantastic drinks. Awesome place for music lovers, especially those wanting an intimate setting. The sound system is actually excellent for a bar that’s 40+ years old. I requested a song and the owner found the record within a minute, amongst the library of records. Impressive and would definitely love to come back.

Last bar on a two week sojourn in Japan. And a great end, at that. Brilliant jazz selection. Loud but not too loud. All were friendly. Not Japanese and had no concerns, issues, or inconveniences contrary to what you may read in some reviews.

A great spot!!!!

*** restroom is Japanese toilet. Just as a heads up for those who would have a harder time.

Best Bar in Osaka if you enjoy Jazz. The owner has an extensive collection he has been collecting for 50+ years. Not to mention the great selection of whiskey and a great vintage sound system. I stumbled upon this place and it did not disappoint. Will definitely come back.

Really pleasant experience with nice vibes and nice music. The owner was very nice and gracious and gave us some good whiskey recommendations. He’s an older gentleman who talks a bit loud, so don’t be surprised if he responds loudly :)

Incredible bar with such a friendly owner. He’s been in business for 43 years! Spot is a must if you’re in Osaka and want a mellow place to drink with amazing records being spun.

I looked for a HiFi cafe/bar during my research of Kansai trip and got attracted to the cosy and vintage atmosphere by the web pictures. When I finally paid a visit there with friends 2 days ago, we all enjoyed the whisky drink and wonderful jazz music. The friendly shop owner has a tremendous numbers of toys to play with, both digital & analogue. I was amazed how good these vintage stereo components sound! Especially the giant Altec 6041 monitor speaker pushed by Marantz SM8!!! He even played my favorite Hong Kong diva‘s LP, Anita Mui & Priscilla Chan. Close your eyes and listen!
I will definitely drop by whenever I come to Osaka again! Thank you for providing us such a great place to enjoy HiFi music!

Amazing owner who have been running this bar for 37 years. He loves jazz, and all kinds of cool music. And played live vinyl like a superstar dj.
Legendary guy!!!
Thanks for a great time, I really felt that whisky this morning.
And I'm most def coming back next time in town.

One of the best hidden gems in the city, if you can find it. Coming into the door I knew this place was one of those special places you would fall in love with - small and cozy, with a collection of wall to wall vinyl and tiny personal touches. The music is excellent service is also personal and do chat with the owner over a drink or three.

I had a great time. Small Joint with a great sound system, and great atmosphere.
I'll be back!

The owner is incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere and drinks are fantastic. I highly recommend the place for those who loves good drinks and jazz music.
