Kaizoku at Dotonbori, Osaka

A casual restaurant and bar in Namba with a pirate theme, serving izakaya-style food and drinks.

Kaizoku, whose name means 'pirate' in Japanese, is a casual restaurant and bar in Namba offering a playful maritime atmosphere and izakaya-style dining. It sits in a side street of the Namba district, close to the shops and nightlife of Dotonbori.

The menu usually centres on Japanese pub favourites such as yakitori, fried dishes, sashimi, noodles and sharing plates, plus a drinks list of beer, highballs, shochu and cocktails. The pirate theme runs through the décor and often the presentation, making it a fun spot for groups or anyone looking for a themed night out.

Visit when your group wants something light-hearted after a day of sightseeing. The Namba location makes it easy to move on to bars, arcades or the Dotonbori lights afterwards.
