Whisky Bar Parkmore

Must visit bar when in Osaka for whisky enthusiasts. Koji-san is great to talk to if the bar isn't too busy and the collection is still superb to experience some old whisky.

Another fundamentalist whisky bar where only water and whisky are served. It can be a bit tough for people who don’t speak Japanese, but you will survive. The whisky collection is great but not superb, price fair but not a bargain. I didn’t try any highballs but they look very nice and cost effective. Still worth a visit if you are a whisky enthusiast.

My. Koji is very professional. The stock of whisky are very good. Bar Parkmore are the best whisky bar in Osaka.

Even though there are some interesting and rare bottlings to choose from, the owner is neither a good host nor a bartender who creates a positive atmosphere. For me, this is a typical ‘whisky bar’ where they prefer to serve rich Japanese businessmen who neither ask a question nor drink away the owner's ‘rarities’! An unfriendly place no matter how much money you spend here and expensive anyway, plus the measurements given are not correct. In addition, customers are confronted with more than questionable answers, examples: - Do you perhaps have a WiFi connection here (yes I know very rare these days....) in the shop!?? ‘No’ (while the owner is surfing the internet all the time) - Do you also have water at room temperature? ‘No, we only serve cold water here’ - Do you have Japanese whisky rarities like Karuizawa or Hanyu? ‘No’ (later it turns out that there is at least one Hanyu on the shelf!) There is an additional ‘table charge’ and then a 10% ‘tax’ on top of the price quoted by the owner, which is a kind of indirect rip-off, because where else in Japan or in the world are drinks, food or even everyday items in the shop listed at net price, crazy! At least I won't be going there again. Thx for nothing....

This is definitely my favourite whisky bar in town. I come every time when I visit Osaka. It is good to chat with Kouji San, the bar owner about whiskies.

Supreme selection of whiskies in Osaka. Bar onwer spoke little English but still tried hard to help me select whiskies and make me feel comfortable

The owner is chatty and knowledgeable about whisky

Very knowledgeable and kind, great selection
