Bantam (バンタム, Bantamu), previously named Bacchus (バッカス, Bakkasu), is a bar located on East Millennium Tower Street, Kamurocho. Aside from serving alcoholic drinks, Darts can be played here.
History[]
Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami[]
Originally named Bacchus in homage to the Roman god of wine. Makoto Date brings Kazuma Kiryu to Bacchus to discuss recent events regarding the Tojo Clan, and the two form a partnership. Shortly after their departure, an unknown assailant murders every patron and the bar's owner. Haruka Sawamura enters the bar, and frightened by the sight, finds a nearby handgun and hides. Kiryu returns to the bar, and finds Haruka hiding. They leave, and police arrives at the scene soon after.
Bacchus briefly closes down following the murders there, but reopens under the name "Bantam" under the ownership of Tobe.
Yakuza Kiwami: a Majima Everywhere encounter takes place here, where Goro Majima gets Kiryu to pay a large fee for cheap liquor, tricking him into thinking he is drinking high-quality liquor.
Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2[]
Bantam's bartender, Tobe, as well as several other small business owners in the area, try to kill Kiryu in the bar. After Kiryu fights them off, the bartender tells him that their businesses have fallen on hard times due to the image of violence surrounding the area after the events of the first game a year earlier. The bartender reveals that after spiraling into debt, the Omi Alliance's Sengoku Family agreed to pay off all their debts in return for killing Kiryu and Sayama. After this, Kiryu convinces the bartender to stay in business and he becomes Kiryu's ally.
Yakuza 6[]
Kiryu tries to get info about Shun Akiyama and Haruka's whereabouts and happens to pass by the Bantam barkeeper. After catching up with each other, the barkeeper says that he's hasn't seen Akiyama since he closed Sky Finance and never saw Haruka, expecting she'd be with him instead. Bantam is one of the locations of the darts championship side game.

Trivia[]
- The pair of boxing gloves displayed in Bantam is a reference to the bar's name, which is derived from "bantamweightWP," a weight class in boxing.
- Paul Lim, whom Kiryu plays darts against in Yakuza 6, is a real-life darts player.
- Bantam appears as the background of every rendition of the Baka Mitai karaoke song cinematic (with the exception of it's Like a Dragon: Ishin! iteration, which features a completely new cutscene)
- Interestingly, it is the background of the cinematic even in Yakuza 0, which is set years before even Bacchus was built.
