    You know the type where each table is in a little room and you hit the bell for service?
    Thanks

    Cheers!
    You sure that's it?
    Image search isn't showing up what I was expecting.
    Thanks

    It depends on the izakaya I suppose. Most of them will have a bell for service now, or even a electronic menu tablet where you can order yourself.

    For the private/separated rooms within an izakaya, I think you call them either "Koshìtsu" (個室) for a actual private room,
    "Shikirishìtsu" (仕切り室) for separated room by a panel,
    "Shikiriseki" (仕切り席) for separated seats by a curtain or something similar,
    or "Bokkususeki" (ボックス席) for separated seats like you'd have in an american diner.

    Some izakayas are just open plan though to fit more people in.

    Also, izakaya really means a "place to drink" in Japanese.. but any restaurant in Japan that serves alcohol you could call an izakaya
