The new one does have a bar, but the place is so big that you can
easily be seated at a table where you can't see it.  The Miyako on
Kirby also has what I call a "semi-tatami" room.  It is a platform with
tatami mats on it and what at first look like the appropriate low
tables.  Then you discover that they are normal height tables put into
"pits" in the platform.  This also allows us unlimber gaijin to sit
western style on the mats, but look like we are sitting at a
traditional table.

Oh, while Miyako carries several Japanese beers, Kirin, Asahi, and
Sapporo, the *smallest* bottle you can order is 16 oz. (well, it's ml
equivalent).  The Kirin only comes in a ~20 oz bottle.  If you are a
lightweight, order American beer, or split the Japanese ones. (Shame
on all of you who thought "Well, just don't drink all of the Japanese
beer!")
