Patrons at the bar act like it's totally normal for a pub to also sell guitars and skateboards.
Dynamo in Koenji is one of the few places in Tokyo where you can drink great coffee and eat falafel as you take in a collection of vintage skateboards -- all while waiting to have your guitar repaired. You can also get French or English lessons from owners Julien Arnaud and Justin Jeske.
Stalwarts of Koenji’s vibrant music scene, the two friendly, easygoing owners also tend the bar in the evening when the alcohol starts to flow.
Having just opened in the summer of 2009, Dynamo's atmosphere is still laid-back, but we doubt it will remain just a local favorite for long.
