"I don't say this lightly"
"Went to Sam's super chill bar for the first time a few days ago (had heard great stuff about it from a friend about it from a friend and was intrigued to give it a try)"
"We flew in from Seoul for business"
"It is one of the most coziest & relaxed style bar"
"Solo traveling often brings about loneliness You may be looking for somewhere to connect with open minded local and expat who could welcome you with open arm with kindness"
I don't say this lightly... Sam's bar is my favorite bar in the world! I love going to bars to socialize, and Sam's bar is perfect for that. The owner, Sam, takes time to be a great host and helps take the awkwardness from breaking the ice and socializing with fellow patrons. I got more or less stuck in Fukuoka during the pandemic, and if it wasn't for Sam's bar I definitely would've left the city and probably country much sooner than I did. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and I honestly almost walked by the first time I saw the sign on the ground floor (I had to look up what Eigo was!). But, upon learning Eigo=English, and knowing English-speaking friendly places are often hard to come by in Japan, I made the chance decision to go up the elevator. The first time visiting Sam's, he welcomed me in, asked my name, and we started talking. It turns out we're actually from the same state back in the US. As more patrons came in, he seemed to know everyone by name and introduced me to them, and really set us up for easy conversation. Most of the patrons are there to meet people and practice English, so it's a great place to be social and make friends. I was in Fukuoka almost 3 months and probably spent about 2/3 of those nights at Sam's bar. It was absolutely an amazing time! It really was the perfect bar experience. Sadly, I had to keep moving on my travels, but Sam's bar will always have a special place in my heart. I wholeheartedly recommend going there and checking it out! Also, the highballs are cheap and the food is delicious!
Went to Sam's super chill bar for the first time a few days ago (had heard great stuff about it from a friend about it from a friend and was intrigued to give it a try). I went all-alone and didn't know anyone when I first entered, but by the time I left I had already met some cool cool people. exchanged Instagram, had great conversations and drank some really good Chai tea (they even served a biscuit with it, just like it is served back home!). The owner, Sam and his staff of Saki san and Uchi are all really welcoming and friendly (all of them speak great English and Japanese too). Normally international bars here do not have a great mix of foreigners and Japanese, but this one actually had a lot of Japanese folks eager to converse in English, as well as foreigners down to hone their Japanese skills. Of course, you can also enjoy lots of wonderful smells coming from the bar kitchen, I will definitely visit again and try the curries, drink more of Sam's oishii Chai tea and definitely meet more dope people there!
We flew in from Seoul for business. One of the venues were connecting with in Seoul is in the same building as Sam's Bar. We did not notice Sam's until after leaving the studio across the street. The happy people coming off the elevator gave it away, we missed something. I'm glad we checked it out. The drinks! The Portions! Inexpensive! Impressive atmosphere, lets you pocket the cash and drink like a pro. I talked to some people who frequent Sam's Bar, very intelligent, english speaking, global citizens. The owner is one of the coolest humans I've met. This guy is living his best life and you will be too after you leave here. (Cheers to Sam and our new friends in Japan!)
It is one of the most coziest & relaxed style bar. There’s always the friendliest group of people. There’s an excellent selection of beers from all over the world (25+ Varieties). Prices are the lowest w/ all night daily drink specials. Everything on the menu is excellent, especially the curry and the pizzas. You would be missing out on an accident spot in Fukuoka if you don’t pay a visit here. The busiest days are Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturday’s and the best time to go is after 7:30 PM. The best part that it’s a non-smoking facility and they have clean & separate restrooms for men and women and located kn the 3rd floor in a brand new building with elevators.
Solo traveling often brings about loneliness You may be looking for somewhere to connect with open minded local and expat who could welcome you with open arm with kindness. Sam's bar was exactly the place for me. By simply visiting there twice during my 3 nights stay, I've got this much 1.Great host who is willing to help you out in any regard (Sam) 2.Meeting amazing people who seemingly regular there (Both Japanese and expat) 3.Good drinks and Sam's delicious food 4.Warm and kind atmosphere all around in the place I will go back there and so will you if you ever have been there once!
Sam's Bar is a perfect place to be! I went there alone during my trip in Fukuoka. Even when you are alone Sam helps you to be integrated really fast. It's a nice place to get in contact with new people (locals as well as tourists) and to exchange languages and experiences. Thanks to Sam's recommendation I found my new favorite cocktail. The drinks are around 500 yen which is reasonable. I had a nice time at Sam's Bar while playing Jenga, meeting and talking with new people and enjoying drinks. I definitely recommend this place!
Great bar, great staff, the owner Jeremy was super nice and was fun to chat with, and his wife was an excellent cook. The food and the drinks were so tasty! Great prices as well, no complaints! They also have all sorts of games you can play!

オーナーのサムが優しくて 楽しい雰囲気のバーです 英語が話せなくても日本語が話せなくても気軽に来れる場所です✨ おすすめです❤️ This bar has a very friendly and fun atmosphere. You can come here alone and it’s OK if you don’t speak Japanese. The bar owner Sam is always fun to talk to. There is a large selection of beer in the prices are very reasonable. Everything on the food menu is really good, especially the curry and the pizza. I highly recommend visiting this please.
I stopped by here during my visit to Fukuoka. I had the most amazing time and made many new friends. I don’t speak English so well but everybody was very kind and really friendly so I felt very comfortable. The prices are super low and the food is excellent. Everyone I met here said that Sam’s bar is their favorite bar and I couldn’t agree more. I highly recommend a visit.
There are only a few places on earth, where you will be that welcomed like here. Sam has been a great host, from the moment I came in. To me, as someone who is travelling a lot alone, this is worth gold. He introduced meto others, took my music wishes into account, and is always down for chatting about beer, while serving you great imports. Strong recommend.
It’s coolest bar in Fukuoka!!! Everyone there is super friendly, even when you met them for the first time :) The atmosphere is fantastic and smorking area is separated which I really like Drinks are reasonably priced. I recommend the Curry which Sam makes from in-house blended spices It’s sooooo delicious and very healthy❣️
Great bar and live music venue! New sound system with occasional artists/DJs rolling through. Very attentive and kind staff on top of their stuff. A must visit place if you’re looking for a bit of USA. They even have Bud and Goose Island on tap. True American bar!

Sam’s Bar has the friendliest crowd and people from many different countries. There is a big variety of beers and the food and drinks are really good and reasonably priced. I highly recommend visiting here. It’s one of the most exciting places I’ve been to in Fukuoka.
Sam's the nicest guy ever. Makes you feel at home, recommends good restaurants, and is a pleasure to talk to. I was alone on a business trip and it's a great way to meet friends in the area. ぜひここに来てください!英語と日本語が両方使えますよ! I'll definitely come here again in the future.
It was a great place for international people who are not familiar in Fukuoka. You get to meet people from different culture and make new friends! The environment was great and the owner Sam is extremely friendly! Definitely one of my favorite places in Fukuoka!
Authentic American bar in the heart of Fukuoka. Great food, fun atmosphere and run by a super friendly couple. Highly recommended.

친구 추천으로 가벼운 Mingle cup을 운영하는 Bar입니다. English mingle을 참여했었는데 일본인과 외국인의 비율이 50% 정도 되서 그런지 반 이상은 영어가 아닌 일본어로 대화가 이루어졌고, 규모가 작고 술을 곁들이다보니 매우 시끄러워서 바로 옆사람 말소리도 잘 들을 수가 없었다만 한번쯤은 가보실 만 합니다.
This bar is the best! They have a lot of types of pizza and the taste is so good! Jeremy and Oriesan are so kindness.

It was so cool and fun bar. Very friendly! I love the here vibes. If you visit to here alone, don’t worry. You will make many friends. See you at the sam’s bar!
This is by far the best place in Fukuoka for meeting wonderful Japanese people and others from all over the world. The best of the best gravitate to Sam
1人で行っても楽しめる場所。いつもボードゲームやトークなどで盛り上がります。 確かに外国人もいますが日本人が圧倒的に多いです。 オーナーのサムは日本語もペラペラで優しい紳士です。チャージとかはなくて飲み物とフードがあります。飲み物は300円代とお得です。 カウンターの大きな画面では映画が流れています。
Chill and friendly place, great bar owner who works to make folks feel welcome. No bar fee and great curry. Recommended to stop in to meet some locals.
以前はSam’s BARだったトコ。元ダンサーのオーナーさんがいま経営されてますが、雰囲気は以前より数段フレンドリーなお店に変わりました♪ダンスレッスンも破格の安さで教えて頂ける。BGMの選曲も好きなので月2回ぐらいのペースでお邪魔させていただいています。ドリンクも300、400円からとお手頃ですよ
The bar owner is not a nice guy. He is always arguing with guests. I highly recommend you go somewhere else.

Sam's the sweetest guy and if you're not a native english speaker, his bar is a great place to pick it up.
外国人多いと言われてますが、所感では日本人:外国人=7:3くらいの割合です。 日本人も外国人も常連さんが多いです。 1人飲みの人も多いですが、積極的に話しかけられない人はちょっと寂しいかもしれません、、
Great bar run by an amazing couple! If you in town be sure to stop by for some good food and drinks!
Wonderful time and great atmosphere. I will definitely return a few times while staying in Fukuoka.
A great bar either if you are a solotraveler or someone who would like to improve your english. …
