You\u2019re back from a trip to Tokyo and the questions start rolling. \u201cHow was the food? What did you eat? Where was the best meal?\u201d We can get to that. First, let\u2019s talk about the drinks. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bar scene in Tokyo<\/a> is compelling, diverse, fun and ever-changing. There are elegant establishments with besuited bartenders, hidden dens that feel like well-provisioned apartments, exuberant themed venues that leave senses jangling and artisan studios that treat cocktail creation as an art. This teeming metropolis has it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some favourite bars for Tokyo drinking in 2025 (and some other things to do in Tokyo<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabin Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Styled like a North American hunting lodge, Cabin<\/a> is a cocktail lounge by the Meguro River in Nakameguro, a walkable neighbourhood with cool shopping and restaurants. In spring, you\u2019ll be looking towards cherry blossoms lining the banks. In cool weather, Cabin is a cosy hideaway with a fireplace and s\u2019mores to toast on tabletop burners. Sit on a leather banquette to sip an Americano lifted with green tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find it: <\/strong>Riverside Terrace 101, 1-10-23 Nakameguro, Meguro-ku, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bar Bumpkin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barely signed and tucked in a basement, you\u2019re winning if you even find this sweet little bar<\/a>. Owner and lone staff member Ryota Hayashi will make you a classic, or craft something for your mood, but his menu is definitely worth trawling for wonderful sippers like the Leche de Pantera with lemon gin, seaweed-infused vinegar and dill oil. Hayashi studied in Australia so his English is good and he loves a chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find it: <\/strong>Uguisudanicho 8-8 Shibuya, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
