Description

The experience here shapes itself around where guests sit. Sitting at the front bar allows for chatting with the bartenders, learning the concepts behind the drinks, or ordering custom cocktails tailored to specific tastes. For those focused on the music, getting a table near the stage is the path to take. The warm, dimly lit room pairs the performances with Japanese-accented plates like nori-topped truffle fries and vegan gyoza. A music cover fee applies, and sound levels in the compact room can sometimes run loud.
