I was going to say Tokyo, but remembered at the last minute it's not necessarily the center of the (Japanese) Universe.
What's your favorite or memorable pubs or bars in Japan?
I went to one of mine last night, What's The Dickens. To describe the What's the Dickens experience, it is on the 4th floor of the Roob 6 building, which is down the street from the Wendys in Ebisu. It is a little hard to find at first as there is not much advertising of it at all. Look for a building with some strange artwork on the top. There is two floors, the main floor with the bar, some english food, and the stage. There is also some space to dance in front of the stage. Then there is the upstairs, which allows you to look down upon the stage. No entrance charge, and live bands thursday through Sunday.
It has been popular with the expats and foreigners that have stayed in Japan more than a couple of years and don't like Roppongi. Like me. I don't hate Roppongi, just not my style. The only problem with What's the Dickens is that if you are like me and don't go often enough to get the band schedules, you never know who or what is playing when you show up! Plus it is very noisy - take a date to dinner somewhere quieter first before going!

Chey's House [Sannomiya, Kobe]

I used to go here all the time... it's a Korean-Japanese owned bar. It's a really small bar (40~50 people max), but the bartenders are friendly and competent, the music good, and most of the drinks are \500 or less.
Plus, they always had Maker's Mark on the shelf, which I love to drink doubles of on the rocks...
It's mostly a Japanese joint, but foreigners are welcome there (if you can speak enough Japanese to order drink... easy, right?).

40-50 people max isn't what I'd define as a small bar - the small bars here are 5-10 people max! ;)
The absolute smallest bar I have been in Tokyo, of which I cannot actually divulge the location (since there is absolutely no way to explain how to get to it, you have to be led), only had room for 5 people, one of which was the bartender, and another spot was taken up permanently by a guitarist in the corner.

Ahh What The Dickens! I like that place, although for some reason I can't quite put my finger on it reminds me of "Pirates of The Carribean". There's another pub in Ebisu called The Footnik which isn't too shabby either.
There's a 300Yen bar in Shibuya (called the..err... 300 Yen Bar) that I was quite fond of but these days there always seems to be a private party taking place. Shame.

Hey sevenphotos, what kind of bands play at that bar?
Anyway, for any of you Aussies out there, there's a bar near Ishikawachou in Yokohama called "Aussie Bar" that serves Aussi beer, Aussie food and sometimes a bit of Rugbly League on the telly!lol Bit expensive for a youngster like me, but it's a really nice place. Kind of a bar/restaurant place. Owned by a Japanese lady who used to live in Australia.
