Once a month, Night Gallery Cafe Crow in Roppongi becomes a horror scene straight out of a George A. Romero film, as zombies descend upon the small venue. For more than two years, zombie performance unit Zombiena has been renting out the place every last Sunday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. to hold what it calls a Zombie Bar.
¡°The bar becomes like a festival during the zombie event,¡± says Meimy, also known as Zombiena No. 001. ¡°The customers jumble together. We¡¯ll put one customer with a group of three and they¡¯ll become four. It¡¯s a bit wild, but that¡¯s just how our customers like it.¡±
In addition to a ?1,500 bar charge, alcoholic cocktails are ?900 each, with petrifying preparations such as Cocktail of Zombie Virus, Campari of the Dead and Zom-beer. The bartender, Zombiena No. 023, declines to reveal what goes into the drinks, but she does say, ¡°I squeezed the zombie virus from myself.¡±
