The calm and luxurious atmosphere of the restaurant makes it perfect for a date! We had 4 drinks for a total of 12,000 yen, around 2,500 yen per drink plus a cover charge. The drinks were well-crafted, especially the original cocktails with seasonal fruits. Although the prices are a bit high, I would love to go back for a special occasion.

Located on the second floor of a building near the Takamiyakomaekousaten intersection, around halfway between Yakuin Station and Hirao Station, is a stylish BAR. I made a reservation two days ago and visited after dinner nearby. I used to stop by bars after dinner often, but it's been a while, so I was looking forward to it. ^^ I first met the Master (the owner) more than ten years ago at a hotel bar in Daimyo, and I was drawn to his pleasant personality and delicious cocktails, so I visited several times. He was still in his twenties at that time. I visited his newly opened shop about 9 years ago. Time has passed, and his body has become a bit bigger, but his friendly smile and customer service are still wonderful. The shop is on the second floor, and it is a spacious and stylish space. Since there were many customers, I only took photos in inconspicuous places. He mentioned that the shop has been open for 5 years, but it is quite popular and almost full. I'm glad I made a reservation. ♪ Prices are including tax. There is a cover charge of 500 yen. ◆Whiskey Sour (1,700 yen) - Bourbon-based, with lemon, honey, and frothed egg white on top. The taste is light and refreshing. The ice is spherical, which is a traditional feature of bars. I used to see bartenders shaving ice into a sphere at old bars, but nowadays many places use regular ice without putting in the effort, so it was nice to see. ♪ I used to like the Master's fruit cocktails, so even though it wasn't on the menu, I asked for one. ◆Strawberry Cocktail (2,400 yen) - It's been a while since I had the Master's fruit cocktail, and it was delicious. Fresh strawberries, gin infused with Earl Grey tea, and other ingredients that he explained carefully but I couldn't remember. m(__)m There are various snacks available, but it's interesting to choose from the actual items rather than the menu. *From the top, I was interested in "prosciutto," but my husband preferred "cheese" as he likes cheese. ◆Cheese Platter (3,400 yen) - As shown, it was a generous serving. ♪ ◆Charm: "Deep-fried wheat gluten" - I've had this many times when I stayed at the hotel, and it's perfect for snacking with its crispy texture and mild saltiness. ◆Cheese Platter - All the cheeses were high quality, and even my husband, who usually doesn't like blue cheese, said it was delicious. I like dried figs and raisins, so this set was to my liking. ◆East Side New York (1,700 yen) - Bourbon with rose liqueur, apple, lemon, aromatic bitters (rum-based bitter liqueur), etc. I took a sip, and it was easy to drink and delicious. ◆California LOVE (1,800 yen) - Gin infused with Earl Grey tea, raspberry syrup, pink grapefruit, tonic, etc. It's refreshing and easy to drink, suitable for women. *On top, there are raspberries. It's a long cocktail, and it's been a while since I saw long ice in a drink. I feel the goodness of a traditional bar, and the cocktails are delicious. It was nice to see the Master again after a long time. ^^ If I have the opportunity to dine nearby again, I would like to stop by.

Third visit. A bar in Shirokan. It's been quite a while since my last visit, so it's nice to be back. They serve interesting cocktails here. Of course, they also have spirits available. They recommend snacks like fruits, chocolate, prosciutto, and cheese to go with your drinks. I had some fruits and chocolate. The atmosphere is really nice, and you can see the street from the window, which is a nice touch.

The cocktails that are enjoyable to look at! The menu is already fun. It was a popular bar where customers kept coming in constantly around midnight on Sundays. Two of us had two drinks each, as shown in the photo, along with a platter of prosciutto, all for a little over 10,000 yen.

I wanted to go to a bar I haven't been to in a while, and I already want to go back. The atmosphere is not too young or old-fashioned, but rather calm and cozy. They have a great selection of appetizers, and I heard the mojitos are amazing. I definitely want to try one next time. My only concern is the long staircase... I'm worried about getting drunk and falling down it, but that's the only worry. Thanks for the great meal!

I went to Mixology Bar Rome to enjoy Mixology. I tried numerous Mixology cocktails, but I was surprised by the capsule-filled cocktail with Laphroaig! They also have a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails, so if you want to experience something new, be sure to check it out!

This bar was launched in 2018 by an owner who previously worked in a hotel bar. Located in a quiet residential area far from the station, the bar is spacious and can be lively on some days. Many of the bartenders here started with no experience, but their cocktail-making skills are impressive, using distillers to create delicious original cocktails. The staff are friendly and will engage with customers when they have the opportunity, making it enjoyable even for solo visitors. They also offer cigars, attracting customers who enjoy them, and even first-time smokers. The menu, featuring illustrations of original cocktails, adds to the charm of the place. Just 30 seconds away from the bar is a lovely Japanese-style bar with 6 seats, which is a non-smoking area.

BAR HAKATA - New bar discovery! Tucked away in a quiet residential area, this bar offers a luxurious and open atmosphere. Their unique cocktails are delicious, with options like a cucumber cocktail or one with a capsule of Laphroaig. Each drink costs between 1,500 to 1,800 yen, so around 2,000 yen per drink. While it may seem a bit pricey, the owner and bartender are wonderful and make you feel welcome. Highly recommended!

In a somewhat quiet area, there is a stylish building with a staircase that leads to a sophisticated adult world. The menu features original cocktails that are modified versions of classic ones, using homemade ingredients. The bartender's efficient movements indicate a deep understanding of standard cocktail-making. Although not listed on the menu, they were willing to create custom drinks upon request. It's a stylish and sophisticated social venue for adults. Fukuoka has a lot of hidden gems, doesn't it?

In the Goto Islands, I had Goto Udon and delicious fish, then returned to Hakata where I savored a delicious water stew. To end the night, I was taken to this bar with a charming atmosphere. The spacious bar counter at the top of the staircase offered a panoramic view, making even the tipsy old men feel delighted. Since I don't drink cocktails, I opted for Scotch and let the bartender choose for me. I had Kilchoman whisky along with a cheese platter. The aroma was reminiscent of a strong medicine, typical of Islay malts. The power of peat was also evident. I hope to be able to bring someone to this lovely place next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I was told by the master of a bar in Tokyo that there is an interesting restaurant in Fukuoka, so I took the opportunity to visit during a business trip. The location was difficult to find for someone unfamiliar with the area. I took a taxi in Tenjin, but even the driver didn't know where it was. I showed the driver a nearby intersection on a map, but it didn't seem like a location where a bar would be located, which made me a bit worried. The atmosphere was stylish and the bar was full even on a weekday night. I was glad I made a reservation. Although it looked like a dining bar, it was actually a traditional bar that doesn't serve food. What sets this bar apart from others is that they give you a menu right from the start. Instead of serving standard cocktails based on customer orders, they offer original cocktail recipes that you can choose from the menu. Therefore, it's a surprise to see what kind of cocktail you will get. I tried the banana juice cocktail that was highly recommended by the master in Tokyo. Unfortunately, the peanut butter cocktail, which was also highly praised, was not available that day. The amazing thing about this bar is that the banana juice cocktail is clear. They apparently use a centrifuge to strain it, preserving the banana flavor while creating an elegant and easy-to-drink cocktail. The other cocktails were also meticulously crafted with unexpected ingredients and high quality. However, the world of cocktails is deep. Even with a great recipe, making a cocktail is not just about mixing ingredients. The difference in skill in completing a great recipe becomes apparent. In that sense, I found the cocktail made by the disciple who handled my order, rather than the original bartender who may have come that day, to be better. If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely want to try the authentic cocktail made by the bartender who perfected that recipe.

A great new addition to the Platinum district that changes the atmosphere of the night. This place offers unique cocktails and cigars, which were not available in the area before. Very impressive.
