Overall, this was just okay for me. At first we were turned away because there was no space for three people, but right after that a group left and we were suddenly able to get seats. That part felt a little off. There’s also a cover charge of 1100 yen per person, which they mention when you sit down. This is somewhat normal for other bars. The drinks were solid but not perfect. My wife ordered a non alcoholic Moscow mule and it ended up costing the same as an alcoholic one, even though we were told that wouldn’t be the case. One thing they absolutely nailed was the ice. You can tell they take that seriously and it shows in the presentation. The bar itself is down in a basement, which adds a bit to the experience, but overall it didn’t fully live up to the hype for me. Plus, the bait and switch on pricing felt like a cheap move. For an establishment like this, I would assume they wouldn't use such tactics.
