Lupin Bar in Real Life
We have very little information about this lupin bar in real life. We can still say that it was opened in 1928. Unfortunately, some twenty years later during the Second World War, the bar was closed due to the foreign name of the building.
In 1946, after the end of the war, Lupin Bar was reborn, but the sale of alcohol is prohibited. The bar is unable to sell alcohol, so to hold the establishment, it will be converted into a coffee shop. Sakunosuke can even be seen drinking coffee in the bar in episodes 1,2 and 3 of season 2.
The bar still stocked up on alcohol and secretly sold it until an official announcement lifting the ban on the sale of alcohol came out.
In 1995, the owner of Bar Lupin, Yukiko Takasaki, died and since that day her wish to see Lupin remain a bar has been maintained. Watch some of the pictures of Bungo Stray Dogs Bar in Real-life we got below :

Named for the fictional “gentleman thief” created in 1905 by French writer Maurice Leblanc, Lupin was a hub for writers such as Satomi Ton, Izumi Kyōka, Kikuchi Kan, and other well-known Japanese painters, actors, and photographers.
