The Best New Cocktail Destinations Around the World (October 2021)

"Located in Brooklyn, Bar Goto Niban is Kenta Goto’s second venture after the success of his Lower East Side cocktail bar, Bar Goto. The newer, more spacious outpost (niban means “second” in Japanese) follows in the footsteps of the original—a former winner of Bon Appétit’s “Bar of the Year”—by placing a focus on Goto’s Japanese-inspired drinks. The handsome space features walnut paneling and a gorgeous Japanese garden landscape spanning nearly 40 feet behind the bar, to sip on a meticulously crafted sakura martini, plum sazerac, or sesame milk punch, and a notable assortment of Japanese sake and shochu is offered as well."
