    If you’re in Dotonburi, please drop in, you won’t be disappointed. A quaint bar with incredibly friendly owners who made us feel welcome. A great selection of Japanese and imported Whiskeys. Owners and patrons were more than happy to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip around Japan

    This place is super cool! We stumbled upon it when walking around Dontonburi and it's almost like a little speakeasy up a flight of stairs. They have a great selection of whiskey (and are super knowledgeable if you need help deciding) and the couple that runs the bar is maybe the sweetest couple I've ever met. Great place to grab a drink and enjoy the great vibes!

    A beautiful experience! We visited here by chance and it was a wonderful night, the owners were so welcoming and fantastic to chat with (even with the language barrier) we felt like part of the family. the whiskey variety is great and for non whiskey drinkers there's plenty of options. We will certainly come back!

    Fantastic small bar run by incredibly nice people. We came in for a quick drink and stayed for hours. The owner even took his time to recommend lots of highlights in and outside the city we should visit during our time in Osaka.

    You would really enjoy this mini bar if you enjoy the experience of looking for a hidden bar. It’s upstairs on the 2nd floor in an alley way. It only has less than 10 seats but super fun to seek for it. It has a full menu of different varieties of drinks and whiskies. People are super friendly and price is fair You shouldn’t miss it!

    Loved this bar! It’s quite hidden down a dark alley but don’t let that turn you away. Once inside you walk up a little flight of stairs and find an awesome bar! Great selection of drinks and super welcoming hosts. We’re from Canada and the hosts were so friendly. Highly recommend!

    One of those, "wandering down dark alley ways, and ending up somewhere awesome in japan" moments. Def recommend, cute, cool and chill hidden spot to grab a drink and rest your legs. The bar is family owned and ran. Even though I didn't speak any Japanese, had a great time and conversation with the owner Nakatani and his daughter. Will definitely be back next time in Osaka.

    So glad we stumbled on this bar in the middle of a small alley in Dontonbori. This bar is run by a family (dad, mom and daughter) and they are SO kind and hospitable. They had a great whiskey selection and even with a language barrier, they still found ways to have a great conversation with us. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

    This is one of my first reviews ever, but I felt compelled to write one because it's such a lovely bar. The owner and his daughter are welcoming, knowledgeable, and hilarious. The drinks were delicious. Clean, well tended bar. Totally worth a visit if you're looking for something friendly but less touristic. Their english was fantastic by the way.

  • 5/5 Sachini F. 1 year ago on Google
    Quaint bar with no menu and whiskeys on a dressing table. Beautiful atmosphere and really nice hosts. Family run. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.

    We ended up almost not going to this little bar because we couldn't figure out the door but we are so glad we did. This is an amazing little bar with an awesome atmosphere. The owners made us feel so welcome that we went back the next night and had just as good of a time. A hidden gem of Osaka! If we ever back it back to Japan, we will be making a pilgrimage there.

    Great bar with absolutely amazing and friendly owners! They were very warm and welcoming, and we had a lovely conversation with them, despite the language barrier. So glad we stumbled upon this place and won’t hesitate to go back next time we’re in Osaka. Oh and the whiskey selection was vast as well which was just icing on the cake!

    What a sweet find! Tried some new whiskey and had a lovely time chatting with the owners. Would have liked to stay longer, will definitely return!
