A nice cocktail bar in Ebisu with a very friendly barkeeper. If you are looking for an alternative: Bar Track is not far and is a little bit more casual.
A cafe/bar in Tomigaya near Yoyogi Park. It’s nice to sit at the window counter and watch people going by while having a coffee or a drink (the Negroni is especially great).
We didn’t know what to expect, but we were lovely surprised by this small bar stuffed with vintage computer games.
This bar is filled with vinyl records. Have a drink while listing to a great selection of Jazz, Blues and Soul played by owner Kobayashi-san. There is a sign asking for people not to talk too loudly (which is a general good advice for Japan).
If drinking coffee while listening to classical music blasting through a great speaker system is your thing: this is your place. It was a special experience walking through the busy streets of Shibuya and then ending in this venue that seems a bit out of touch with everything in the area.
This small bar in Ebisu is one of my favorite places in Tokyo: great whiskey selection, helpful staff and I loved the music they were playing.
