Tokyo is known for its array of uniquely themed bars and restaurants, but “Muscle Girls” is making waves online for its one-of-a-kind offerings. Located in Ikebukuro, this unconventional bar has captured the internet’s attention on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), thanks to its all-female staff of muscular women who offer services that are as bizarre as they are intriguing.
At Muscle Girls, customers can pay for services like being slapped, kicked, or even lifted by the strong female staff. Videos of muscular women slapping men - who voluntarily and enthusiastically pay for the experience - have gone viral, sparking widespread conversation and debate. If slaps aren’t your thing, you can opt for a kick or even be picked up and carried by the staff for an additional fee. These offerings have evoked mixed reactions online, with some finding it entertaining and others questioning its purpose and message.
The bar also features a signature drink: freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. However, it’s not prepared using traditional tools or machines. Instead, the juice is crushed by hand - showcasing the staff’s impressive strength. Watching these women extract juice barehanded is both a spectacle and a testament to their physical prowess, leaving customers in awe of their abilities.
While some celebrate Muscle Girls as a fun and liberating experience, others feel it might cater too heavily to male fantasies, potentially reducing muscular women to fetishized objects. Critics have raised questions about whether such themes empower women or exploit them. On the other hand, fans argue that the bar provides a platform for women to celebrate their strength and redefine traditional beauty standards.
If you’re curious and want to check it out, Muscle Girls is located at 171-0014 Tokyo, Toshima City, Ikebukuro, 2 Chome−41−2, Hayama Building, B1F. It operates from Wednesdays to Mondays, 5 PM to 11 PM. Whether you visit for the unique drinks or the unconventional services, the experience promises to be unforgettable.
