“Sublime cocktails and elevated bar snacks.
If you’ve never been to Tokyo and wondered what all the fuss is about when it comes to the bars, Bar Goto is a perfect introduction.
The hospitality is honest, the lighting makes everyone look good, and the drinks are simple and made with exacting technique. If that wasn’t enough, the bar food is transporting as well.
When we have people we really, really like visiting us in New York, this is where we take them. Let’s keep it on the DL.”
- Bar of the Year, Bon Appétit
Both bars are open Tuesday to Sunday. Walk-ins only; complete parties are seated first come, first served.
Happy hour daily from 5pm-6pm.
“Bar Goto's signature drink is a Japanese interpretation of a martini with sake as the foundation and a cherry blossom floating Ophelia-ishly in the cold, clear liquid. A few sips encourage the mind to venture deeper into Kenta Goto's clever, subtle drink menu.
What really extends evening into night and unfastens one's inhibitions, though, is a friendly, unflappable "Welcome back, man" mode of service.
For a lot of knowledgeable drinkers in New York, Goto has become the go-to.”
