Stylish speakeasy with craft cocktails, traditional Japanese snacks
"Centrally located in the heart of downtown, this sultry, smooth Japanese speakeasy is as enticing as they come. The cocktail menu highlights Japanese ingredients like shiso, sake, and miso, while favouring gin, whisky, scotch and mezcal as the liquors of choice. Small dishes like duck tataki and salmon onigiri provide balance to the heavy-hitting cocktail list." - Daniel Bromberg

"Perhaps known more for its cocktails than for its food, this sultry, sexy speakeasy around the corner from Square Phillips is an immersive experience from start to finish. For light fare, Gokudo offers some dishes like onigiri and duck tataki, but these are mere preamble for the real stars of the show." - Daniel Bromberg
"Downtown Japanese bar Gokudo has bolstered its in-house fish shack Ryoshi with new talent: chef Hachiro Fujise of the well-regarded Old Montreal spot Marusan is now behind the menu and running the kitchen." - Tim Forster
"This Japanese-style speakeasy was a welcome addition to the Phillips Square; (so welcome it earned Eater’s Bar of the Year award). Everything from the décor and ambiance to the food and cocktails on offer are well executed and sure to impress your guests, with a calm and dim den-like atmosphere great for smaller gatherings." - Daniel Bromberg
