Sleek venue with Japanese small plates, sushi, and 500 whiskeys
"A 15-year-old sushi-and-steak spot in the Mission from the folks behind Tsunami (NoPa) and Bar 21 Amari, Nihon Whisky Lounge is offering a COVID-era deal: for $1,000 you can order a set of five “whisky vintages” the bar says would ordinarily retail between $79 and $749 each and that the venue would have poured at a combined value of over $4,000 (or retailed at $1,900). In brighter times the bar offered private lockers for all bottles purchased, and this package is pitched at true Japanese whisky fans — these are very solid bottles whose price can’t be beat even online — and a purchase from them supports a small, local restaurant group." - Eve Batey
"Already established in San Francisco as a Japanese whiskey hub, Nihon Whiskey Lounge has previously offered a locker-style bottle-keep program and served as an early local example of the trend." - Caleb Pershan
"Nihon is dark, lounge-y, and has a ton of fancy Japanese whiskey. The bartenders are super knowledgeable and all the cocktails are great. The upstairs area is also a fun place for a bigger group to hang out and discuss the pros and cons of finally moving to the Mission like you always say you want to." - Taylor Abrams
