Club Ganesha in Nagoya, Japan, pushes tusk-in-cheek elephantine exotica. The statue is up by the DJ booth, which is more in-your-face than a decorative Nataraja off in a corner.
A Japanese school even seems to have named its soccer team after the deity (via Vikram):

Sorry to nit-pick…Nagoya is a city a couple of hours from Tokyo. Lived in Tokyo for 5 years and I think I’ve even been to Nagoya. Had no idea about Club Ganesha though!
Brain freeze, thanks.
