Katamachi in Fukui is its one and only entertainment district. In the center of it there is a club/bar with live oldies music called, "Kennedy Club". Inside it is all 60s. To those who miss the era, this must be the place to go. The club is lively and live bands live entertain. Customers are allowed to join the performances! Some play electric guitar, others play drums, tambourine, etc. and just watching them play makes you feel happy. The music charge is 2,500 yen for men, 2,000 yen for women. The menu ranges from various alcohol/soft drinks to light snacks like Yakisoba (fried noodles), Pizza and Pilaf.
