Give Bryan a raise!!

5.00My experience was great! My guide Bryan made the whole night a brilliant whirlwind of cocktails, speakeasy’s and history. The world of cocktails is eclectic and expansive but Bryan was definitely up to the task. Having been a bartender himself, he had a great deal of knowledge that was both historical and technical that he dropped very concisely so the experience was still fun. Couldn’t be more impressed!!
Cool Bar Scene Experience

5.00Great night out with Brian, who took me to several cool bars, a couple of which I definitely wouldn't have found on my own. A thoroughly enjoyable experience! This tour is an easy way to get to know some of the spots at the forefront of Tokyo's vibrant bar culture. And Brian was happy to suggest other places to check out on my own.
Amazing Night Out Exploring Ebisu’s Hidden Bars

5.00I recently joined a fantastic cocktail tour in Ebisu, Tokyo, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We visited four different bars, each offering unique cocktails and great atmosphere. Some spots even included delicious food pairings that complemented the drinks perfectly. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about cocktails — sharing insights about the drinks, the bars, and the Tokyo cocktail scene overall. This kind of tour is quite innovative, as there’s really nothing else like it in Tokyo right now. The pace of the tour was just right, the cocktail selection was on point, and the whole experience felt very well-curated. I’d love to see similar tours in other neighborhoods around Tokyo in the future. Highly recommended for cocktail lovers, bartenders, mixologists, or anyone curious to explore Tokyo’s bar culture in a new way!
Very fun and unique tour!

5.00As a cocktail enthusiast, I was very excited to learn that this kind of tour exists in Tokyo!! Especially with the amount of good bars to visit, it can be overwhelming to know which one to go to. I had no idea on what to expect within the three hour tour, but oh boy it went by super fast and I had so much fun. Brian, our guide, was very informative throughout the tour. Whether it be a question about the bar, cocktails, or even suggestions with Tokyo, he got you and really makes sure for you to have a good time. We toured four bars in Ebisu, four different vibes, but intentionally and perfectly picked out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates a good night roaming around the city, have love for cocktails and experience to be a part of the local's night life. Hoping for this tour to spread and have it in different neighborhoods of Tokyo, that would be really amazing and definitely something to look forward to!!
Probably the only hidden cocktail bar tour at the moment in Tokyo!

5.00Probably the only cocktail bar tour at the moment in Tokyo! I absolutely recommend it and I will definitely try it again 😍 The tour started on time and the pace was just right throughout the night. We didn’t feel rushed nor had plenty of time to kill, 3 hours was perfect for 4 bars. Each bar was so different from one another, from the cocktails we drank, the people around with us drinking, to the ambiance each bar had. It was wonderful how our tour guide, Brian, curated his presentations well at every bar - it felt special. I really enjoyed all the cocktails, the food, and the history that came along with the tour! Brian was so good at explaining everything and managed to answer questions we had for each bar! He just knew when to say things and point things out as we went along. I just hope they’ll start doing more neighbourhoods aside from Ebisu but it’s an amazing place to start and like I said, the only cocktail bar tour I could find at the moment 😍 overall 10/10!

5.00Had such a fun night on the Hidden Cocktails of Ebisu tour. Discovered amazing drinks with a Japanese twist. Super friendly bartenders! It felt like finding Tokyo’s best kept secrets. Highly recommended. Thanks to our guide Brian
Great Tour and Amazing Cocktails!

5.00This was such a great and well thought-out tour! The food and drinks were both fantastic, and I never would have been able to find these bars by myself, let alone have the confidence to walk in. The pace was good, and we even got to learn so much about cocktail and Japanese history that I never knew. Will definitely recommend it to my friends back home!
10/10 Amazing experience

5.00A few days ago, I went on this tour with my friends. We had our expectations completely blown away! The tour was so much fun, we visited bars we would normally not even have been able to find ourselves. The tour guide was truly an expert: he knew so many fun facts about the drinks and the neighborhood we visited, and it shows that he is really passionate about what he does. One of my friends did not feel like drinking, but that was certainly no problem because there were non-alcoholic mocktails options as well, and they tasted just as good! I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the Tokyo nightlife scene.
Perfect Introduction to Japanese Cocktails

5.00This is an amazing tour for both cocktail lovers and newbies alike - there’s something for everyone and Brian is a great, knowledgeable guide. I loved the Ebisu neighborhood that Brian took us too and I would have NEVER found these hidden bars on my own. Definitely worth it.
Amazing cocktail tour with Brian!

5.00Can't recommend this tour enough! If you want to avoid the more touristy places this is a must. Our guide Brian was great company and made this experience so personal plus he really knows the best places in the city. The bars all had an amazing ambience and I'm glad we were able to see this side of Tokyo on our last night. Already planning to visit some of these bars again next trip.
