This time, we did a bar hopping. After visiting Captains Bar, we were interested in another place and decided to visit without a reservation. Luckily, there happened to be a table available for four people, so we were able to slide in. It was a different atmosphere from Captains Bar, with high ceilings and a glass-walled open space. It was also a lovely space where you can relax and unwind. When you go out to the terrace, you can see the Otaru Canal and the sea, and there are benches available. The cocktails here are delicious as well. The snacks are also satisfying. Overall, this place was more affordable. I recommend this bar as well. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I stayed at Hotel Nord and used the bar at night because I heard you can see the night view. I started at the counter but was moved to a sofa seat where I could enjoy the night view. I had a whiskey tasting and the white wine was delicious.

We decided to visit this restaurant in Otaru for my partner's birthday trip to Hokkaido. During the day, we enjoyed seafood bowls, and in the evening, we looked for a place where we could relax and have a drink while enjoying the night view. This restaurant had a High Tea Plan where we could enjoy drinks while overlooking the beautiful night view of Otaru. The atmosphere was cozy and the drinks were delicious, with fruit included in the free drink plan. They also had a great selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. The sweets and beef stew were just the right amount of food. The staff were very friendly and even allowed us to take photos on the terrace to capture the night view. My partner was very happy with the celebration.

The scenery is nice and the atmosphere is quite lovely. The Niagara from Otaru Brewery was delicious, but I didn't get drunk much, so maybe I should have gone for a second glass. The snacks were just the right amount, and all this for 1500 yen is a good deal. Plus, I was staying at the hotel next door, so I got a 10% discount with a coupon.

I stayed near Nishi-Otaru Station and decided to visit this restaurant as my first choice didn't fully satisfy me. The passionate red lights made for a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the 1500 yen set menu which was great value. Since I was in Otaru for sightseeing, I wanted to try local drinks, so I chose Otaru beer (Pilsner) with the set menu. To make up for the lack of fruit in my travels, I also ordered dried fruits and Otaru wine. As I ate, I found myself needing more drinks, so I added cranberry juice as well. I noticed another guest taking a round coaster as a souvenir, so I decided to take one too. The food and drinks were consistently delicious, the service was great, and I had a wonderful time there.

Hotel Nord, a hotel with a dome by the canal, has a bar on the top floor. We received a complimentary glass of wine (Niagara Sparkling) as a guest benefit. The space is illuminated by passionate red lights, creating a striking atmosphere. We enjoyed a relaxing time admiring the warm night view of the Otaru Canal from the window.

A stylish bar located on the top floor of the famous Hotel Nord in Otaru. We were greeted by a gentlemanly middle-aged bartender. Since we were staying at the hotel, we received a complimentary glass of wine. The prices are reasonable and you can enjoy a variety of drinks. I think the pricing is quite fair. We also ordered Camembert cheese as a snack. It came with dried fruits and bread, which added to our satisfaction. The atmosphere inside the bar is simply stylish. The dome-shaped interior overlooks the Otaru Canal, lit by red ambient lighting, creating a very moody ambiance. I highly recommend it for dates and other occasions. Of course, it is not limited to hotel guests, so if you want to have a wonderful evening, be sure to visit.

[Otaru City, Hokkaido] On October 24, 2020 (Saturday), at the bar of Hotel Nord Otaru near the Otaru Canal. The location is... From JR Otaru Station, walk straight towards the sea on Ekimae Street, at the corner of the intersection facing the canal. It's a 9-minute walk from the station. No regular holidays. Hotel Nord is one of the closest accommodation facilities to the Otaru Canal tourist area. The unique stone exterior with a dome protruding from the top matches well with the warehouses lining the Otaru Canal. The rooftop dome is actually used as a bar. Take the elevator inside the building to the 7th floor. Upon opening the door, you'll find an impressive space dominated by black and red primary colors. By the way, "Duomo Rosso" means "red temple" in Italian. The seating includes a curved counter and a few tables along the windows. From these windows, you can enjoy the night view of the Otaru Canal. The BGM is classical music played at a powerful volume. As it is a hotel bar, the atmosphere is more about quietly relaxing rather than engaging in conversations with the bartender. Guests staying at Hotel Nord Otaru or the adjacent Hotel Sonia Otaru can enjoy a 10% discount on all menu items, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. Additionally, you can use the GoTo Travel regional coupon received at the front desk right away. The lineup of bottles on the back bar is limited, but the cocktail menu is extensive. Moreover, this bar offers a variety of food options. Particularly, their charcuterie (cured meats) selection is impressive. [Meat Dishes] Ezo deer simmered pate terrine, Hokkaido Cherry Valley duck terrine, Shari Akadon pork ham, Hokkaido pork pate de Campagne, foie gras and pork roulade [Cheese] Furano Wine Cheddar, Tokachi Washed, Kobayashi Ranch Gouda, Camembert, Blue, Homemade Smoke [Others] Hokkaido marinated sardines, Hokkaido smoked mackerel, Salmon flakes, Hokkaido chocolate -------------------------------------------------- ■ Duomo Rosso (¥1200, guest discount ¥1080) An original cocktail named after the bar. A drink made with grenadine and citrus juice, easy to drink. The base is probably vodka? Boldly garnished with roughly cut pink grapefruit and a cocktail cherry secured with two cocktail picks, resembling a cross, which connects to the aforementioned "red temple." -------------------------------------------------- ■ Zombie (¥1000, guest discount ¥900) Chosen by a companion. A standard cocktail not commonly seen in bars. A blend of rum, grenadine, pineapple, orange, and lemon. The standard recipe includes equal amounts of three types of rum (white, gold, dark). Sweet due to the syrup and juice, with a predominant refreshing pineapple flavor, but with three shots of rum, the alcohol content is quite high. -------------------------------------------------- Since we had enjoyed sushi and drinks at Ise Sushi earlier in the day, we didn't have room for food, but exploring the charcuterie from Hokkaido and its compatibility with whiskey and wine sounds intriguing. If you're staying at this hotel, be sure to stop by this bar.

Hotel Nord, located on the corner along the canal, has a lounge bar on the top floor. Despite being small, the top floor offers a great view of the canal and the night scenery. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with a red and black color theme, good sound quality, and jazz music playing. I used to work as a private bartender when I was younger, so I am quite picky about cocktails, but I was very satisfied with the shaking skills of the person who seemed to be the manager. They offer a variety of Hokkaido-style cocktails, whiskey, wine, and more, so I thought it would be a great place to take customers who enjoy alcohol.

It is located on the top floor of Hotel Nord. I don't usually go to the hotel bar because it can be hit or miss, but I was drawn in by the cheap drinks and decided to give it a try. Even though I was prepared for it to be disappointing, I was pleasantly surprised! The appetizers were served beautifully and tasted great. Of course, one drink wasn't enough so I ordered more (laughs). It's a great value for the price. I also added a whiskey tasting set for an additional 1400 yen. It was fun to try different types of whiskey. The bar itself is not very spacious. You can see the Otaru Canal below, although it was dark and hard to see clearly. But you can still enjoy the night view and the atmosphere is nice. If you're looking for a second place to visit in Otaru, I highly recommend it.

I visited Otaru and stayed at Hotel Nord Otaru, where I had dinner and then went to Duomo Rosso, the bar lounge on the 7th floor. I recommend the Grapefruit White Mimosa and the Crane's Bouquet Highball. The Grapefruit White Mimosa is an original cocktail made with a special juicer called Cajutta. The Crane's Bouquet Highball is made with Tsuru Whiskey, ginger ale, and grenadine, inspired by the colorful bouquet of flowers. I also ordered the Hokkaido Cheese Assortment, which came with four types of cheese and dried fruits. Duomo Rosso has a cozy atmosphere with a circular layout and red interior, but the night view of the canal and city was not very visible due to the lack of lighting outside.

■When it comes to sightseeing in Hotel Nord Otaru, the Otaru Canal is famous. I stayed at Hotel Nord, which is convenient for canal cruises and faces the Otaru Canal. I was curious about the bar on the top floor of the hotel. However, I realized that my room was on the rooftop, not the top floor. The dome-shaped space protruding out was Bar Duomo Rosso. ■Bar Duomo Rosso has a circular bar counter in the center. It has an authentic feel with table seats overlooking the canal. ■Rose Gimlet I tried the limited edition Rose Gimlet. It is based on the recipe featured in the movie "The Long Goodbye," known for the line "It's too early for a gimlet." Despite the name "Rose," it is made with Rose's lime juice and gin, not rose liqueur. It is difficult to get Rose's lime juice in Japan. The Rose's lime juice contains syrup, making it slightly sweet. It's nice to sip on this slightly sweet gimlet and take your time.

This is a bar located on the 7th floor of Hotel Nord Otaru. The location is fantastic, with 270-degree glass windows that reflect the bottles along with the night view. There is only one bartender, but they work diligently, and the cocktails and food are delicious. However, this is not a bar for focusing on the taste of alcohol, but rather for enjoying the atmosphere.

We were in high spirits after enjoying soba at Kobiyama-san. It felt like a waste for the night in Otaru to end there. So, we decided to have a drink at the bar of our accommodation for the night, Hotel Nord Otaru. At the top of the hotel, there is a bar called "BAR Duomo Rosso," with a red theme. We visited in October, during the Halloween season. Looking at the menu, we saw Halloween cocktails available for a limited time. I decided to try the Dracula Royale, a bright red cocktail made with haskap and sparkling wine. My friend who doesn't drink alcohol ordered a Zombie, a non-alcoholic cocktail made with pineapple and orange. And my other friend, who has been drinking alcohol for just over a year, ordered the Exorcist, the strongest tequila-based cocktail. Each cocktail was vibrant and the bartender creatively garnished them with fruit peels to fit the Halloween theme. We also enjoyed a platter of dried fruits and cheese, along with mini cakes. It was a blissful moment. Looking out at the Otaru Canal and warehouses below, we stepped out onto the balcony to see a sky full of stars. We were even lucky enough to see a shooting star. It had been over 10 years since I last visited Hotel Nord, but it still remains a wonderful hotel with amazing staff. I definitely want to come back here again.

I stayed at a hotel with this bar. I saw an advertisement for this bar in the elevator, saying it's open until 11 PM, so I went there after having dinner outside. The interior was very nice with a lovely red ambiance. Although the view was limited to the Otaru Tower, the bar had a great atmosphere. I tried a cocktail that was based on Niagara wine, inspired by Otaru. It was like a lemonade with a reduced Niagara flavor, very easy to drink and beautiful. I heard it's nice to go out to the blue terrace as well to enjoy the night view of the canal and the sea in the distance. Inside the bar, it felt very casual and relaxing. It was a great night.

The alcohol was delicious and it was very quiet. There was a balcony outside where you could enjoy the view.

I stayed at the HOTEL NORD OTARU in Otaru and visited the BAR Duomo Rosso on the top floor. The bar at the hotel is unique with a red-themed circular bar that is very stylish! The sound system is good, and jazz music plays in the background. The appetizers look delicious, and both the cocktails and highballs were really tasty. However, the downside is the clientele is not the best. I would prefer to drink in a quieter atmosphere.
