Bar escape by cocktail works

The inventive flavor combinations catching your eye are the hallmark of Bar escape by cocktail works, located in Bunkyo Garden Gate Tower. The bar distinguishes itself with an extensive selection of original cocktails built around twists on classic recipes. A Chocolate Negroni, for example, layers cacao notes over a bitter foundation of gin and Campari for a mellow, lingering finish, while the Spiced Spumoni balances warming spice with easy-drinking refreshment.

The menu also highlights clever interplay of ingredients in drinks such as the Sesame Old Fashioned, a Frozen Shiso & Vermouth Cocktail, and the Truffle Honey-ni. Fresh fruit martinis and bespoke concoctions tailored to your preferred flavor profile are readily accommodated, so you can easily request adjustments to alcohol strength or sweetness. Beyond mixed drinks, the back bar offers whisky, craft gin, wine, and beer, which can be enjoyed alongside food offerings like pasta.

Accented in striking blue tones, the interior maintains a quiet, softly lit atmosphere with both counter and table seating. It works equally well for an unhurried solo drink or a relaxed conversation with a companion. The bar remains open until 2:00 late at night, and credit card payments are accepted.
