Delving into the bowels of metropolitan Nagoya one can find many jewels in the
night. And as they say, the good things in life are not always easily found. The
Caballero Club is living proof of this.
Located down a dark building Hall/alley off a side street in Higashi Sakura, Caballero
is truly a gem of a spot worth seeking. At the end of the dark hallway, the door
opens into a club that will take you back to a time of mobsters and untouchables
on either side of the Atlantic. Caballero could fit into downtown Paris or just
as a comfortably host Al Capone and his merry men in Chicago. Established in 1983,
by the owner known only as Boss, Caballero expanded and added a stage in 1999.
Today, though once in the club you would think it was yesterday, Caballero in
a live house/cigar bar. Live jazz, bossa nova or the blues can be enjoyed Thursday
throughh Saturday at the club along with one of the over ten variety of cigars
always on hand. Boss himself often takes up the guitar to lead his bossa/jazz
band (B.C.Q.) in entertaining the electric clientele.
There is a \500 cover charge at Caballero and when there is music, a \1000 live
charge (unless otherwise noted on their schedule), but is well worth it. Along
with an extensive bar (\500〜), light meals, leaning toward pasta and pizza (\600〜),
are also prepared.
With its low lighting and soft selection of music, the fairly spacious Caballero
Club is a perfect place for a romantic evening or for that nightcap in, say, a
brandy snifer..... A place to contemplate mixed emotions over mixed drinks, as
Mr. Waits, who would fit right in at Caballero, would say.
