“ Such a unique place, it's a Japanese rockabilly time capsule of a bar. I would %110 come back here and play some more old songs on the jukebox. Very interesting drinks as well ”
“ Small but super cozy bar offering delicious Sake cocktails. Bartender is very friendly and attentive. You can just ask a bartender how you feel and she could suggest a suitable cocktail - loved 'Geisha"! The location is also great, right on TTC, so no driving under influence/designated driver required. ”
“ The cocktails were great. Very cool retro Japanese vibe! ”
“ A very nice chill vibe! Great for a hangout with friends! The sake cocktails are a must try! A great range of drinks. The Asahi was just brilliant - nice, chilled and crisp. The atmosphere is amazing and so was Gordon who made some killer cocktails and talked a lot about Japan and how bars are setup there and also the secret behind the Asahi! Be mindful to carry Cash, as this is a Cash Only bar! ”
“ Great atmosphere and drinks combined with excellent 50s vibes. Fully operational jukebox and pinball machine are . Really enjoyed my non-alcoholic Japanese whiskey highball. ”
“ Great bar and amazing drinks!! I love the sake negroni and the bartender was soo sweet and helpful for our first visit!I also had the sake amerreto and it was the perfect night cap !! Love this spot! ”
“ Charlotte treated me really well. She's not the stereotypical chatty friendly bartender and certainly has an edge to her when other customers ask "dumb questions" but she went over and above for me. I purchased a 15 tote bag and an ounce of 18 single malt whisky plus several games of pinball. Previous review: Cash only. 25 cent pinball game. Friendly staff. Tasty cocktails. ”
