HOMEBASE TOKYO

Some bars strike a balance between precision in the glass and an easygoing, unpretentious atmosphere in the room. Set on the 3th floor of a building in Roppongi 6-chome, HOMEBASE TOKYO offers just that, shifting comfortably between a relaxed evening drink and a livelier late-night crowd depending on the hour.

The counter centers on classic cocktails and an extensive spirits selection. Guests can order enduring standards such as the Old Fashioned and Gin Fizz, specialty creations like tea-infused gin cocktails and an affogato margarita, or neat pours of American whiskeys such as Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek. Nibbles like homemade brownies make it easy to linger over another round.

The room looks out toward the streets of Azabu-Juban, with a thoughtful mix of bar stools and sofa seating suited to solo drop-ins and small groups alike. Background music, board games, and Wednesday karaoke give the venue a playful personality that evolves throughout the week. It makes for an inviting stop after wandering the neighborhood at night, whether settling in for conversation or unwinding with a favorite pour.
