I ordered the following: - Seasonal cocktail with strawberries - Mojito - Espresso Martini - Kagurazaka Alpage cheese platter with 2 types of cheese The glasses were surprisingly stylish and unique. Even when two people ordered the same drink, the glasses were different. When the male guest ordered the strawberry cocktail, he was served in a black glass where the red color couldn't be seen. I wonder if this was a consideration for a male guest. It was delicious, so I also ordered it later, and this time I got a gorgeous and glamorous cup that felt very feminine. The intricate pattern carved on the glass was beautiful and made reading more enjoyable. The bartender seemed a bit reserved, creating an atmosphere more for quietly enjoying drinks rather than chatting. By the way, there was a sign at the entrance that said "no student." ------- Additional information: Viewing restaurants from the perspective of an office worker who dines out 200 times a year, I introduce recommended restaurants for "girls' night out" or "dates." ◆SNS Instagram ID: per0rine Feel free to check it out!

The authentic bar in the horse racing field is a quiet and calm oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the area. The fruits are all fresh, the whiskey is top-notch, and the high-quality glasses are neatly arranged. The personality of the master shines through. It seems like it will become a regular spot in the horse racing field!

Today there were no other customers, so I was able to enjoy a quiet and cozy atmosphere. I really liked the Espresso Martini. The homemade raisin butter was also very delicious. I will definitely come back when I'm in Takadanobaba again.

The atmosphere is great and the bartender is friendly. It's a lovely bar with a lot of attention to detail in their cocktails. I tried a G&T made with POLI's gin for grappa and the sweet Tom Cat Old Tom gin. I look forward to trying more cocktails in the future!

The first time visiting a bar can feel intimidating, but I decided to come here. The name is nice, isn't it? It seems like an authentic bar. I ordered a gin and tonic first, then followed with a Calvados. There were only 6 seats in the bar. The people around me seemed like regulars (one looked like a professor from Waseda University). It was not a typical place in Bamba (I'm sorry, it was a serious bar). I was satisfied with my visit to this unique bar.

Looking for a cigar bar~✨ Searched for a cigar bar near Takadanobaba Station and found one! The interior of the bar is lovely and it's great. On this day, three of us had a golf gathering, and this was our fourth stop. We enjoyed cigars and drinks on the sofa in the back. They have a wide variety of cigars. There were also friends who were trying cigars for the first time, and we enjoyed a wonderful atmosphere discussing golf stories from that day. The drink I had was a gin and tonic. Oh, always cigars and gin and tonic... haha. I wonder if I should study cocktails? These days, I'm enjoying Takadanobaba nightlife~✨

A few minutes from the Toyama-guchi exit is a bar in Takadanobaba. While Takadanobaba is known as a student area with lots of young people, this bar was very chic and lovely. When you open the door after climbing the stairs, it feels like entering a different world. I visited in early April. There was a straight counter and tables in the back, with cherry blossoms arranged. It's like having a cherry blossom viewing indoors. I ended up trying two types of highballs, both of which I really liked. Since my whiskey expert friend was with me, he always chooses for me. Thank you for recommending such a wonderful place. And after this, we're going to a ramen shop together.

On a busy Saturday, I invited four friends over for a home party, but instead of cooking, I ordered takeout from a nearby Chinese Hunan cuisine restaurant that I reviewed recently. My friends were excited to try the new dishes and enjoyed them, which made me happy. We had a great time, and I ended up drinking a lot and feeling a bit hungover the next day at work. It made me realize that I can't handle drinking like I used to, especially on weekends when I have to work the next day. Despite that, I decided to go to a bar I've never been to before on the night before my day off. I took the train to Iidabashi, then walked to Kagurazaka while admiring the cherry blossoms at night. Unfortunately, the bar I wanted to go to was closed, so I went to a local bar in Takadanobaba instead. The bartender was elegant and the atmosphere was nice. I had a gin and tonic, a martini, and a green Alaska cocktail. The bar had a great selection of drinks, and the bartender was knowledgeable about cocktails. We even talked about art and our favorite museums. It was a relaxing experience, and I realized that bars are like a sanctuary for me where I can unwind and enjoy good drinks. I wish I had discovered this bar sooner, as it was a sophisticated and adult space in the student-filled area of Takadanobaba.

The other day, I stopped by a bar that I had been curious about while drinking in Takadanobaba. It's located about a 4-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station! This place has a very calming and stylish atmosphere, and it was a really nice bar! The gin and tonic was also very delicious! I will definitely visit again!

On July 10, 2020 (Friday), my partner and I went to a digestif bar. After eating gyoza at Muro, we decided to have a drink before heading home, so we searched and found this bar. It is located on the second floor of a building on the road that goes from Takadanobaba East Exit, passing in front of Hozan High School, to Shin-Okubo. There was only one other customer when we arrived. We tried the recommended drinks: I had a Kin no Bi Gin and Tonic, while my partner had a Negroni for the first round. For the second round, I had a homemade Moscow Mule, and my partner had an Amaro Tonic. The cocktails were delicious, especially the Kin no Bi Gin and Tonic and the Amaro Tonic. However, the real highlight was the malt whiskey. The menu had a variety of Highland and Island malts. The conversation between the master and the customers revolved around this as well. The background music was jazz piano, with a unique and somewhat unskilled style that we weren't familiar with. We guessed it might be Barry Harris, but when we asked the master, it turned out to be Bill Evans. Specifically, his debut album "New Jazz Conceptions." I have all of Evans' albums from when he was alive, so I had listened to this one as well. It was interesting to see him experimenting before establishing his style. My partner mentioned that it sounded like a bop pianist, showing off their keen ear (laughs). The bill came to 6,200 yen. The name of the bar is not related to Brazil's Salvador, but rather taken from Salvador Dali's name. Today, it was reported that there were 243 new cases of COVID-19 in Tokyo, marking a new record high for the second consecutive day. Nationwide, there were 420 new cases, also a record high.

When I leave "Muro," my feet naturally lead me here, it's been 3 years but Suzuki-san's smile welcomes me warmly, I'm so happy to be back. Today we had the following: "Averna Amaro Siciliano and Absinthe and Tonic Water cocktail (for my wife)," "Kin no Bi Gin and Tonic (for me)"... "Kin no Bi" by "季の美," it's interesting, a gin with gold leaf. "Chocolate and Dried Tomato," "Kiwi and White Rum cocktail (for my wife)"... Beautiful glasses, I thought they were Satsuma Kiriko due to the deep cuts, but they're actually Edo Kiriko, interesting that Edo Kiriko also has glasses with deep cuts, I want this sake cup. "Watermelon and Gin cocktail (for me)"... Lately, I've been drinking a lot of watermelon cocktails. Suzuki-san has a wonderful collection of glasses, we had a lively discussion about glasses today, it was so much fun, I'll definitely come back.

Last night, I had the pleasure of visiting for the first time with my loved one. The staff kindly explained each drink at the bar, providing us with a fun and wonderful experience. The bartender's kindness, professionalism, great drinks, and cozy atmosphere made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

After having a meal, I decided to have a light cocktail here, but somehow ended up doing a gin tasting (I forgot the brand names). Gin has various personalities and it's interesting. I might study more to master it. I finished with an Irish coffee and had a relaxing time. It was another enjoyable night.

During a business trip to Tokyo, I didn't have a place to stay so I ended up in Takadanobaba. Luckily, I found a bar that I absolutely loved! It was late at night and I didn't have the energy to eat, so I decided to just have a drink and head back to my hotel. I searched on Google Maps and Tabelog to find this place. They have cocktails, but their main focus seems to be hard liquor. Since I love hard liquor, I started with a cocktail right away. They also seem to have rare hard liquors, so it's a dream come true for hard liquor enthusiasts. It's a perfect place to quietly enjoy a drink.

Bar hopping in the Babacho area. I got a bit drunk and ended up on the second floor near Naruzo. I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a bar with a sophisticated and calming atmosphere. The bartender was dressed in a sleek suit. I didn't see a menu, but I took a picture of the drinks which seemed reasonably priced for a bar. The snacks were also quite affordable. The staff didn't talk to me much, maybe because I was dressed casually in a suit. Next time, I'll go in casual clothes to see if they engage more. I had the impression that it was a members-only place with high prices, but it turned out to be wallet-friendly. Unfortunately, I was half asleep and don't remember what I drank, but it tasted good. The salt helped keep me awake, and the drinks packed a punch. I'd like to visit again sober. I'm starting to appreciate the charm of bars little by little. The food was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

This time, after enjoying Gyoza-So Muro in Bamba, we headed to Shinbashi Yakiton, and ended the night at Bar Salvador. These three restaurants are located close to each other, so it was convenient for bar hopping without having to walk too much. When you open the door after climbing the stairs in the building, you are greeted by a calm atmosphere that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of Bamba. Bar Salvador provides this serene space. We were seated at the counter and started with a Gin and Tonic for a toast. Whenever I go to a bar, I always find myself ordering a Gin and Tonic as my first drink. It's refreshing and easy to drink, right? This bar has a wide selection of malts lined up on the back bar, which would be a dream come true for malt lovers. After the Gin and Tonic, I tried something I've been hearing about recently - Japanese Gin. I believe it was a gin from Okinawa, and it had a sharp taste that was very enjoyable. It was another fun night of bar hopping. Cheers!
