🍸 Cocktail & whisky bars in Susukino

12 well-rated cocktail bars spots within a 15-minute walk of central Susukino, 12 of them open past midnight. Regular hours from Google; refreshed daily on demand. Confirm special hours before visiting.

Japanese cocktail bars are quiet, precise places: one bartender, a dozen seats, hand-cut ice and a menu you may not be handed at all. In Susukino the best ones are usually a few floors up in an unmarked building or down a side street — the list below gives you the door to look for.

Budget ¥1,200–¥2,000 per cocktail plus a seat charge of ¥500–¥1,000. Ordering is easy even without the language: name a spirit and a mood ("gin, something refreshing") and the bartender will build it.

Cocktail & whisky bars in Susukino: common questions

How much does a cocktail cost in Susukino?

At a proper cocktail bar in Susukino expect ¥1,200–¥2,000 per drink, plus a seat charge of ¥500–¥1,000 per person. Highballs and house cocktails at izakaya are far cheaper (¥400–¥700) but made with much less care.

Can I just walk into a cocktail bar in Susukino?

Usually yes, for one or two people. Groups of four or more should call ahead or split up — most serious cocktail bars have fewer than fifteen seats and won't seat a large party at once. Weekday early evenings are the easiest time to get in.

What should I order at a Japanese whisky bar?

Ask for a Japanese whisky highball (whisky and soda) to start — it is the national default and shows off the ice and the pour. If you want to taste, ask for "osusume" (recommendation) at your budget; bartenders in Susukino are used to guiding visitors.
