About this place
For oven-baked tandoori chicken and a proper meal alongside your drinks, Coffee&Bar DDbugs is a bar with plenty to eat. The chicken costs ¥880; the menu describes it as chicken cooked in the oven with several kinds of spices. One diner found that the flavours had soaked in well and that the dish was easy to eat without feeling greasy. It makes a good centrepiece while you take your time choosing a drink.
For something lighter, try the chilled pasta with sweet basil and tomato. The menu says it is made with basil grown in-house and tomatoes, and lists it at ¥1,100. A diner described it as chilled pasta topped with plenty of tomato sauce, making it a draw in its own right. The smoked salmon and lemon marinade (¥550) is another small plate; one diner remembered the salmon for its generous thickness.
The drinks menu includes cocktails, wine and beer, as well as non-alcoholic options. A Salty Dog, for example, costs ¥880, while the non-alcoholic Blue Hawaii is ¥660. Some diners have enjoyed pairing the food with cocktails, and the relaxed setting may suit an evening of conversation.
This dine-in bar is in Maruyama-dori, Abeno Ward. It is listed as open Tuesday to Saturday from 17:00 to 23:30, and closed on Sunday and Monday. Visitors have also described the atmosphere as relaxed and easy for conversation.
