Awesome bar! No menu - they create custom drinks for you everytime! You tell them what you like and they make you your own, customized drink! Service was amazing, too! My glasses fell out of my purse and I left them in the basket underneath my chair. I called the next day - during non-business hours, and they actually answered the phone, told me that they were closed for inventory and that the elevators would be locked down , but to come by, take the staircase down, and they would be waiting for me! Unbelievable!!!! Thank you - Bar High Five!
We visited Bar High Five during our trip to Japan. The team is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, and the cocktails were well made. For me, though, it felt a bit too tourist-oriented and slightly restrictive. Afterward, we visited a few smaller local bars and honestly enjoyed those experiences more. The snacks were also not really to my taste. I’m glad we went, but it wasn’t my favorite bar experience in Japan.
I love a good speakeasy, so I was excited to come across this one. Located in a basement, we arrived and waited just a few minutes to be able to sit at the counter. There is no menu. The waiter asked what were our preferences. I asked for a fruity and a low ABV drink, as I’m a lightweight. I don’t know if the waiter really understood my request. Mine was tasty, but it still a bit strong for my liking.
Walked in to Bar High Five because another wine bar in the area didn’t have seats, and that was the best decision I made that night. It was my first time there, and my group and I were warmly greeted by a sharply dressed staff. He took a moment to prepare a table for 3 and ushered us in, taking our jackets and whatnot. I was only expecting to order two drinks that night, but I ended up having three just because every single cocktail I ordered was right on the mark. I asked for a drink that tastes like rum and raisin ice cream—more texture of the cream rather than the sweetness—and it’s legitimately one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. They used the sweetest wine on earth and somehow managed to neutralise the sweetness. A roulette of snacks was also served alongside the drink. Each serving that I finished was promptly replaced by a different one. Same with the water: our glasses were never empty. My only gripe was that I didn’t get a chance to sit at the bar, hence the atmosphere wasn’t perfect for me; I will definitely make a reservation for the next time I’m back in town.
We had an amazing time here! The staff is very friendly and professional, drinks are second to none, and the overall experience is incredible. Will come here again.
