I used to enjoy Roppongi wild nightlife scene in the late 90s early 2000s. It was always busy and very sketchy, but fun if you had the right connections and attitude.
So I was very surprised to see the shift it went through when I visited recently. There are a few big spots here and there, and certainly many more smaller clubs/bars hidden inside the buildings. But the lively street nightlife was completely gone.
