Bar nocturne

Whether you’re taking time to choose a whisky or in the mood for a seasonal cocktail, Bar nocturne offers a wide selection of whiskies, from familiar labels to bottlings from independent bottlers, as well as drinks centred on classic cocktails. One visitor said staff suggested a whisky after hearing their preferences, so if you haven’t decided what to order, you could ask for guidance. Other visitors have remarked on the selection of Japanese whisky and absinthe.

For cocktails, there’s the pleasure of choosing between a seasonal fresh-fruit creation and a familiar classic. One visitor was impressed by the bartender’s deft, precise shaking, saying it softened the impression of the alcohol’s strength while giving the drink depth of flavour. Another specific detail in a review was the way the salty olive served with a Martini complemented the cocktail. At Bar nocturne, part of the pleasure lies not only in the drink itself, but also in noticing how its elements come together in the glass.

Visitors have mentioned classical music, including Chopin’s nocturnes, playing in the bar. Along with the black-toned interior, it makes for a quiet atmosphere. Some visitors have also mentioned food to accompany drinks and chocolate made especially for bars, making this a possible stop for a drink and a small bite after dinner. The bar is on the basement floor in Yotsuya Itchome and accepts reservations. It is open from 19:00 until 2:00 the following day on weekdays, and from 19:00 until 24:00 on Saturdays.
