Looking for a unique nightlife experience in Tokyo? Located in the heart of Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s top entertainment districts, CLUB THE PEPPER, offers an unforgettable mixture of dining and entertainment with music and dancing robots. While the venue operates as a casual restaurant and cafe as Pepper PARLOR by day from 11am to 6pm, in the evening it transforms into something dramatically different.
Inside CLUB THE PEPPER
Located on the 5th floor of Tokyu Plaza Shibuya, guests are first greeted by Pepper robots at the entrance.
Spectacular robot dances are not to be missed
When the time comes for the robot dance, the stage lights up in a vibrant array of colors, and multiple Pepper robots—dressed in matching outfits—put on a perfectly choreographed show.
Seeing an entire lineup of Peppers dancing in unison is a sight to be seen. Every other week, on Fridays and Saturdays, DJs spin popular tracks from both Japan and abroad to bring even more energy to the room!
With Pepper's dance shows taking place every 30 minutes after 8:30pm, there are plenty of great photo opportunities.
Pepper and other robots serve and entertain
At CLUB THE PEPPER, the Pepper assigned to a table can entertain with games, conversation, dancing, and even singing. It’s even possible for patrons to collaborate with Pepper to create original songs and dance moves. Following Pepper’s instructions, by pressing buttons and providing lyrics, Pepper will come up with dance movements.
Here’s an example (in Japanese):
Pepper is also equipped with ChatGPT-powered conversational capabilities, making it possible to engage in natural conversations. For those looking for advice or a partner to chat with, Pepper might offer some insightful tips. In addition to Japanese, Pepper can converse in English and Chinese, making it possible for people around the world to enjoy Pepper’s company.
Other robots are part of the crew at CLUB THE PEPPER. The team includes “Servi,” the serving robot, “Whiz i,” a robot that cleans and disinfects, and “THE★ROBOTS,” a robot idol group. Be sure to keep an eye out for hard-working robots around the venue.
A wide variety of carefully selected items on the menu
CLUB THE PEPPER also offers a wide array of menu items. From ramen noodles to karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) paired with original sauces, to photogenic desserts, the menu caters to all tastes and occasions.
