Tokyo Confidential

Our group was four adults traveling from the US throughout Japan in September 2025. We stopped here one night for some drinks (no food) and had some absolutely great cocktails - some of the best we had on our entire trip! Don't make the same mistake we did and make a reservation in advance. This usually requires you to purchase a bottle of champagne and the seating is located on the rooftop - one floor above the actual bar. Note that the rooftop is also smoking friendly. We would recommend just showing up and waiting for a table in the actual bar (a much more fun experience). By the time we finished our bottle on the rooftop, a table was ready for us downstairs. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! We had no troubles ordering / communicating!

Amazing views, with cocktails and service to match. Had a short wait for a table but was worth it for a fantastic view of Tokyo Tower and skyline. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the lady who served us but she was brilliant, friendly and attentive, we were well looked after. She even offered to let us visit the secluded VIP area upstairs (thank you!). The themed cocktails were quirky and imaginative at a very reasonable price considering the quality, location and views. The cereal cocktail even included a helping of crunchy Kelloggs frosties! Would happily have worked down the menu!

The bar offers creative cocktails (each one of them has a story) in a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, with astonishing views of the Tokyo Tower and skyline. The cocktail with the Maneki Neko container had a fantastic flavor and the cereal cocktail was also delicious. The staff is passionate and friendly, so it’s easy for them to help you choose a drink suitable for your palate.

Gorgeous bar with incredible cocktails. The entire staff is very passionate about their drinks and the bar. Each cocktail has a story and the several that we tried were delicious. The atmosphere is very cool. Our server Christian was friendly, helpful, and a great photographer. Prices were a little high but the drinks and ambiance made up for the prices.

Tokyo Confidential is a sleek, hidden bar that delivers both style and substance. The space feels refined yet relaxed, with dim lighting and a polished design that sets the tone for a sophisticated night out. Cocktails are creative and well-executed, with bartenders who are as skilled in conversation as they are in mixology. It’s the kind of spot where you can settle in for one drink and end up staying for several—perfect for those looking to experience Tokyo’s elevated cocktail scene in an intimate setting.

This is a cool little bar with a magnificent view of the Tokyo Tower from the balcony. The crowd is primarily expats. The age group maybe around 30’s. The menu comes in the form of a comic strip that is cat centric. Vibes is good and chill.

This place is a wonderful cocktail experience with a fantastic view of Tokyo! We were in the neighborhood and wandered in on a Saturday night without a reservation. The staff was so lovely and helped us get a table right away. The menu has very interesting drinks and every one we tried was excellent! The staff were so lovely and the views incredible. The atmosphere was lively, warm and inviting. It was a great place to hang out with wonderful cocktails. Would come back if I’m in Tokyo again!

Atmosphere: 9/10 Located in Azabujuban, Tokyo Confidential balances flash with detail. The open-air patio offers a legit view of Tokyo Tower, while the indoor space wraps around a C-shaped bar framed by retro signage, abstract art, and a Godzilla sculpture dead center—bold without being gimmicky. The backbar is large, well-stocked, and looks the part. Rock music plays at a solid volume—not too loud, not too soft. Drinks: 9/10 Recommendation: Sayonara Mr. Spalding Their baseball-themed menu is sharp—each cocktail comes as a collector-style card with the name, specs, and photo, all under black light. It’s smart design, not just style. The drinks are inventive, well-composed, and come in unique glassware with cohesive garnish and presentation. Nice coasters, too. Execution overall felt curated rather than flashy. Service: 9/10 Staff was laid-back and friendly, but the professionalism wasn’t dialed all the way in. Water and snacks arrived without asking, but no towels. Prices are a bit above average for Tokyo, but you’re paying for the concept and the experience—which mostly delivers. This bar sits at #53 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024. That feels about right—it’s well-executed, thematically tight, and stands out in a crowded scene.
