Theater District Izakaya With Yakitori and Heavy Sake Pours
Eat beef tongue or kara age before a show, or stay late, with Friday and Saturday service until 2 AM.
🍶 Sake And Pub Plates
At 245 W 51st St, this Manhattan izakaya sits right across from Broadway theaters, a handy stop for a quick meal before a show. Inside, the style nods to Showa Era under the bridge izakayas, with trinkets adding an old Tokyo feel. Sake and shochu arrive in heavy pours, setting an easy pace whether you are heading to a show or settling in for dinner.
The kitchen moves from yakitori to sushi, with beef tongue, kara age, and the Hagi dog among its menu highlights. That range keeps the choice flexible, from a few Japanese pub bites to a full meal. Its Midtown location makes dinner easy to pair with a show without adding a separate trip across town.
Monday through Thursday, the bar opens at 5 PM and stays open until midnight. Friday and Saturday, it starts at 5 PM and 4 PM respectively, with both nights running until 2 AM. Sunday is closed.
