JEREMIAH TOKYO

Jeremiah Tokyo is a stylish hidden bar in Shinjuku that takes you straight back to great 19th century New York. A well-known flair bar in Tokyo, the venue takes its name from Jeremiah “Jerry” Thomas himself. This iconic American bartender was known for his showmanship, and his pioneering work in popularizing cocktails across the U.S. made him known as “the father of American mixology”. Jeremiah Tokyo opened in 2018 on December 15th, the anniversary of Thomas’s passing, as a tribute to the legend’s legacy.

The cozy lounge’s old-timey decor is on point, from the shiny brass counter and shelves lining the brick back wall to the vintage framed posters, right down to the elegant engraved glasses. Comfortable, inviting and with a great atmosphere, this is the perfect spot to take your date for a memorable after dinner drink and cocktail show. The bar is headed by cocktail champion Hiroshi Ichikawa, a star mixologist in Tokyo specialized in craft flair. You won’t be able to take your eyes off of his incredible performance, it’s simply a joy to watch him work.

The impressive cocktail menu features tried and true classics as well as innovative twists and original creations. Each drink comes served with a side of background history courtesy of your bartender, which adds a special touch to the experience. For something refreshing and fruity, try the crimson-colored Story Reviver, with Monkey 47, Lillet Blanc, absinthe, prosecco cordial, fresh raspberry puree and lemon. Or let yourself be guided towards a cocktail that’s exactly to your liking. To soak everything up, don’t hesitate to order a snack or two from the delicious bar food menu.
