Japan Travel - Tokyo Bars and Cocktail Lounges

A stinking rich neon-lit metropolis; an Oriental monument to the gods of consumerism; a Japanese bow to America and the west. We think we know Tokyo even if we haven't been there. But look closer, past the McDonald's on street corners, the kids in baseball caps listening to hip hop and eating in Hard Rock and you'll see something unique. From the sushi and saki bars of Roppongi, to the design temples of Shibuya and the Bladerunner skyscrapers of Ginza, this is a hi-tech, surreal, sci-fi assault on the senses, a city like none other on earth. Say sayonara to what you think you know and fasten your seatbelts. Welcome to Tokyo

Bar Ho

6-2-10 Backborn House B1F Minami-Aoyama Tokyo
Telephone: 81 3 5774 4390
Hours: Mon-Thu 6pm-2am; Fri-Sat 6pm-5am; Sun 3pm-12midnight

Gem of a whiskey bar in Minato-ku specializing in single malts, all served in a setting redolent with old world charm and sophistication. It’s a multi-room space, with a cosy and intimate private bar reached by a curved steel stairwell between the two main lounges; enter here and you find yourself in a room of dark red sofas, wood tables, and shelved bottles of the world’s finest brown goods towering high above the counter. Jazz tunes float through and you almost imagine Sinatra is going to be next through the door. There are more than 70 pricey single malts on offer, but while your fellow Bar Ho’s include a number of wealthy businessmen and their glamorous women, prices are reasonable enough for the less moneyed among us to still partake. Go Ho!

Soho's Omotesando

4F V28 Bldg 6-31-17 Jimgumae Tokyo
Telephone: 00 81 3 5468 0411
Hours: 11.30am - 4am

Super-sexy hi-tech space on the top floor of the CDI Aoyama Studios, brought to us by Tokyo restaurant guru Soho Tsukikawa. It’s an architectural gem with curved aluminium walls, exposed piping, red velvet décor and massive floor-to-ceiling windows through which the view of the people on Omotesando dori below is straight out of sci-fi. There’s an extravagant VIP space done up in velvet curtains and plush sofas, while the cavernous dining area can seat over 200. Come summer and the roof terrace café bar is ideal for moody al fresco dining, made more romantic by the extensive wine list. Cocktails from flavoured sakes to classy Manhattans are perfectly pitched by model-like bar staff and you’ll love the tunes spun by house and guest DJs on Fridays and Saturdays. All aboard space hoppers!

Café Bed

2-13-1F Sarugaku-cho Tokyo
Telephone: 81 3 5458 0300
Hours: Mon-Sun 12noon-12midnight

What looks at first like a simple down-home restaurant is actually a funky café-bar fitted out with dozens of bed-like furnishings – from bed-post seats and tables to duvet covers on the sofas and settees – every bit as comfortable as your own Futon. Without the crush of other hot spots in the neighborhood, it’s a perfect place to relax pre-club and ready yourself for a night on the town. With paintings on the walls, DJs spinning ambient tunes and drinks running the gamut from beer and whiskey to coffee and tea, it’s more than your own room. We suggest you forgo the Java, go for a Jameson, and sleep later.
