Reviews
One of the best cocktail bars I've been to. The drinks had a lot of attention to detail, had a good variety, and were executed on perfectly. Interior design/vibe of bar was also spot on.
I’m a huge fan of savory cocktails, so I was stoked to see so many creative options on the menu. We ended up ordering 8 different cocktails between the two of us, and they were fantastic - but the Ramen cocktail was definitely the standout for me🍥! The vibe is spot on, and the staff are super friendly, welcoming - the entire place is english friendly as well.
Really fun and quirky little bar with outstanding and unique cocktails. The bartenders and their team are truly creatives and masters of their craft. I highly recommend the “Honeycomb” cocktail!
Must go experience in Tokyo. The bartenders here are friendly and knowledgeable, every time I wanted a new drink they put so much serious thought into it! Bar Libre truly made my last night in Japan so memorable. I will be coming back one day!
We found this place through some blogger and true totheir word, Bar Libre has an amazingly extensive menu. Each with a unique cocktail including taste and alcohol ratings. Loved the atmosphere and as usual it as Japan tight. They do have 1 table for 4 and we managed to nab it when we first walk in. Go on the early side and seating availability is much better.
