While not essential to visit this exact bar, do visit a craft cocktail bar somwhere in Ginza. This very small bar in a non-descript Ginza building basement is fantastic. It’s very small, and extremely dark. The bartender turns on a little spotlight at his workstation only while mixing, then turns it off. He’ll still serve you a little towel and some snacks. Focus on whiskey, but I believe he can whip up most classic cocktails. Great for an after-dinner tipple.
