Japan’s culture, food, and drink preparations are spellbinding. You are guaranteed to never find these unique dishes anywhere else in the world. Here’s a brief look at some of the unique bars in Tokyo
8bit Café
A tiny bar near the Shinjuku Sanchome train station, this place is known for its breath-taking collection of old-fashioned game consoles that elevate your drinking experience. A guaranteed trip back the memory lane, the cocktails are relatively cheap and distinctively named. It is the only bar in the world to offer a Super Mario cocktail, or a Princess Peach shot.
Albatros
Albatros is an exclusive bar in Tokyo, frequented by the local socialites. This celebrated bar has been a significant attraction since 1997 because of its art gallery-styled sitting arrangements. It has three outlets in Tokyo – one in Koenji, one in Shinjuku, and one in Golden Gai. These bars in Tokyo are almost always packed with people, so make sure to book a reservation before visiting.
Two Rooms Grills
This restaurant cum lounge is located in the prime Omotesando-Harajuku region. A great place to try out authentic Japanese dishes (the grilled Japanese wagyu beef is a must-try), you can visit this restaurant either for lunch or dinner. In the evening, the place starts getting crowded on most days. Open until 2 AM, the variety of drinks this bar offers is also great. What makes the Two Rooms Grills a must-visit place in Tokyo is the restaurant’s rooftop terrace, which gives a fantastic view of the city. Visitors can feel free to order in English.
Planetarium Bar
Located right next to the busy Shirokanedai station, this place is severely underrated. The ideal place to relax and have a few drinks; this dimly lit bar has a loyal group of customers who usually visit the bar for its surreal atmosphere. The atmosphere inside the bar is very relaxing and offers a nice break from Tokyo’s frantic lifestyle.
A visit to these bars is a must for every traveller in Tokyo. They offer an amazing insight into Japanese food, drinks, and unique culture.
