THESE

This lounge bar is quite the find, even in a Tokyo district famed for its nightlife. The bar is a little hard to find, but with closer inspection you'll see that the logo hung on the side of the wall of a building spells out "THESE." Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a very smartly dressed and very well-spoken gentleman who turned out to also be our server for the evening. Between him and the bartender (we'll get to that later), the two were attending to guests non-stop and all the while keeping their cheerful and professional disposition. After being seated at the bar, with a perfect view of all the drinks being made that evening, we were presented with the food menu and drinks "menu." The food menu contained some comfortably familiar, but wonderfully different bar foods such as meatballs, chicken wings, fries, and other small bites. Familiar yet different in that you've had these foods before, but not seasoned and prepared the way THESE has done it, and the results are very unique and utterly delicious. Getting back to the drinks menu, it is actually a basket of imitation fruit and herbs, which you visually pick which type of cocktail you would like, and our server would then recommend the type of liquor and possible secondary flavor to pair with. For example, selecting basil might get paired with lemongrass or ginger, and with gin or rum as the liquor. Then it was up to the bartender to prepare the full cocktail. And prepare he did, with flair and "feeling" as Uncle Roger might say. Instead of using measuring tools and proper bar equipment, he would simple crush some ice by hand, then pour an "adequate" amount of fruit juice, herbs, and liquors and finish the drink off with some appropriate garnish. The results were fantastic, as show in my attached photos. The bar itself is decorated somewhat quixotically, partially like a library, and partially as an eccentric explorer's lounge. Everything about the place reminds you of something you've probably seen in the movies yet the overall combination was something unique that you can't quite put your finger on. Which is the whole point of trying new experiences, to tingle and excite the senses and create a new lasting memory to take to the next lounge to try.

We went on a Monday evening and it was very quiet. We enjoyed that the bartender made us custom cocktails according to our taste. The atmosphere was cosy and private. The snacks were tasty.

Awesome ambiance at this hidden bar on a quiet street in Roppongi. Famously, they bring you a giant bowl of fruit to choose from which they build your cocktail. The drinks were good, if a little predictable. Check out the rooftop!

Do not miss this place while in Tokyo. Great cocktails made with fresh seasonal ingredients. Great vibes with decent sized tables to support groups of 4-6. Best pizza we had in Japan too, dare I say it. I think we ordered four rounds of them. Highly recommended

Really cool bar with a dark academia library aesthetic. They bring you a bowl of fresh fruit and herbs and ask you to pick two for a cocktail. Delicious fruit cocktails but we also ordered a coffee cocktail that was good too. The waiter was pleasant and attentive. A little pricey compared to other bars but worth it.

Avoid! Scam, not transparent about pricing, and low quality. - No menu and no communication of prices. A “cocktail” is being prepared based on your selection of two fruits. Cocktail was very bad. - We were seated on the rooftop, but it smelled. Rude personnel couldn’t provide us with different seats. Suddenly didn’t speak much English. - 7800 yen for two “cocktails” we didn’t choose, including 1100 cover charge, which was not communicated to us either (just like the cocktails weren’t). Again the personnel suddenly couldn’t speak much English. Maybe different for locals, but a waste of money and time for us.

Really cute moody bookstore bar vibes with fruit cocktails that are made based on your preference of one or two fruits and an alcohol base! The mango coconut drink was amazing and all the drinks were pretty yummy (mostly sweet given fruits)! Have come here a few times and would definitely come back

One exterior photo for someone might not find the entrance easily :) nice designed enterance, great presentation with all fruit’s cocktails and taste, experience to choose your fruite and base liquor. All nice also with kind staffs but a bit stuffy air on 2nd floor. No outside view but for this fruits cocktail it could be nice to visit if you are near hear
