I came to this bar hoping to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. Regardless of the drinks themselves, the service alone made this an extremely unpleasant experience.
We sat at our seats for quite a while without being given a menu or even coasters. At first, we assumed that perhaps this was the kind of bar where the bartender preferred to make drinks based on customers’ preferences, so we asked him for a recommendation. Instead, we were met with an extremely cold and dismissive response.
Even when our drinks arrived, we still had not been given coasters, nor had our oshibori been cleared away. The oshibori itself smelled quite bad, possibly because it had been sitting there for too long. What made this especially uncomfortable was that customers who arrived after us were immediately provided with menus, coasters, and oshibori as soon as they sat down.
What bothered me most, however, was the bartender’s behavior while making our drinks. He made an excessive amount of noise—for example, slamming ice down hard and deliberately knocking the bar spoon against the glass. I have been to many bars, including plenty in Tokyo, and I have never experienced noise at this level. More importantly, when he prepared drinks for customers who arrived after us, he was noticeably quieter. The contrast was so obvious that it was difficult not to feel that the noise directed at us was intentional.
The only possible reason I can think of for this treatment is that my female friend did not immediately close the door when we entered. If that was indeed the reason, then the level of pettiness is astonishing. The bartender also spoke to my female friend using an unnecessarily commanding form in Japanese when telling her to close the door. The way he addressed her came across as extremely disrespectful, particularly toward a female customer.
Overall, the entire experience was awful. I had simply wanted to spend a pleasant evening catching up with friends I had not seen in a long time, and I genuinely regret bringing them to this bar.
I would not return.

When I ordered a gin and tonic, I was asked if I had a preference for gin, so I asked for their house gin, but they gave me Gilbey's gin, which was disappointing.
I went with several friends, and we all agreed it was mediocre, hence this rating.
The bartender asked my friend, who isn't very knowledgeable about cocktails, about the flavors and styles they wanted when making the cocktails, so I felt the service was average.
It came to 3,000 yen per person for two drinks and a cover charge, but considering the taste and atmosphere, it felt a bit overpriced.

This bar is located underground in a back alley in Takadanobaba and has a very relaxed atmosphere. You can enjoy drinks with friendly, easy-to-talk-to bartenders! The price is also very reasonable, about 3,000 yen for two drinks per person! I would definitely come back!

This price is too high for a casual bar.
I don't think even an authentic bar would charge this much.
The inside of the bar was noisy and it wasn't the kind of atmosphere where you could relax and enjoy a drink.

An unforgettable spot! I stumbled upon this bar and was blown away by one of the most unique drinks I’ve ever tried: bacon-infused vodka, crafted in-house by the owner himself. The atmosphere is laid-back, the music is fantastic, and the whole vibe is effortlessly cool. If you're looking for a truly original experience with great drinks and even better energy—this is the place to be!

ジントニックを注文した際にジンは指定があるか聞かれたので、ハウスジンがあればとお願いしたところギルビーのジンだったのでがっかり
友達と数人で利用したが、口をそろえてイマイチのとことだったのでこの評価
カクテルが詳しくない友人にも味や系統を聞いてカクテルを作っていたのでサービスは普通だと感じた
2杯とチャージ料で1人当たり3,000円だったが、味や雰囲気を考慮すると割高の印象
