Bar Lord

With whiskies lining the walls, choosing a bottle is part of the experience at Bar Lord. Some visitors say they could choose from around 200 varieties, including old bottles; others report discussing their budget when selecting a rare whisky and checking the price of a pour before ordering. Prices and bottles vary, so it may be worth asking about a particular whisky before deciding.

For a cocktail, the menu includes a Gin Rickey made with gin, lime and soda. One guest describes it as a crisp drink that brings out the lime, making cocktails an option alongside whisky. Other choices include a Gin Lime with gin and lime juice, and a Gin Fizz made with lemon juice, syrup and soda. The menu spells out the components, making it easier to choose between a light citrus-and-soda drink and a Negroni with gin, Campari and vermouth.

Whisky enthusiasts may also enjoy comparing old bottles, which one visitor says taste different from current releases. Other guests mention trying a Mai Tai, older gin and brandy. The selection ranges from cocktails to rare spirits, so the choice can follow whatever you feel like drinking.

For food, reviews mention Hayashi rice at lunchtime. Whether you are after a quiet drink in the evening or want to start with a cocktail, this Gotanda bar offers a chance to browse the bottles and choose how to drink.
