THE FooTNiK, why the name?
This is one of the most common questions we get (second only to “Can I have more beer, please, and some chips?).
The “FooT” part is easy... it’s a British Pub! Of course there’s football!
“NiK” isn’t as obvious. “Nik” is a Russian word meaning “related to”, “a companion to”, or “a lover of”. Famous examples are “Beatniks” (people of the ‘50s “Beat” Generation), “Refuseniks” (people refused permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union in the ‘60s), and of course, “Sputnik”, the very first satellite which literally translates as “co-traveller”.
What can we do at THE FooTNiK?
We’ve got great beer to drink, great food to eat and great atmosphere to soak up!
Like a local back in the UK, we are at the heart of the community, even one as big as Tokyo! We are a regular spot for post-work chat and catching up on local news. We run fun events you can share with friends. We help our customers raise funds for the charities they support. We have music and promotions and lots of sports including football. And of course, we have a warm welcoming atmosphere.
British pubs are very informal, basically come up to the bar counter, order a drink or some food, find a seat (share a table if those are the only seats available), in fact, why bother with a table? Just stand! It’s easier to chat!
