Yuzen Sugimura, owner of “Pub 802” (Nakano), which closed in March 2011, resumed operations after seven years. It is run with Yoshinobu Sugimura, the eldest son.

Mr. Sugimura says that he likes rock music, so he changed the store name to "802", which is one of the legendary British band "801" plus one. Even after "Pub 802" closed, there was a live stage, and he was looking for a place where he could enjoy a meal while listening to live music.

The store area is about 50 tsubo. There are 50 seats including counters and tables. Opened in a house where the Chinese restaurant Morifutei closed in December last year. Mr. Sugimura says, "When the weather is nice, the location where you can see Mt. Iwaki and Hakkoda. You can set up a stage so I decided immediately."
