01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Occupying a street-level corner with full glass windows revealing the interior, BARLEY -SUITENGU- welcomes guests with a back bar that reaches almost to the ceiling. It carries the dignified air of an authentic cocktail bar while keeping things unpretentious, making it an easy place to drop by for a late-evening wind-down or a 2 stop after dinner.
Cocktails highlighting distinct spirits
The menu features a solid repertoire of classic cocktails arranged by base spirit. For gin, standard labels such as Beefeater and Tanqueray sit alongside bottles like KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin and Monkey 47. In addition to a crisp gin and tonic built with lime and tonic water, short drinks such as the Gimlet and White Lady are on hand. Tequila selections feature fruit and spice accents, including the Straw Hat mixed with Clamato and lemon, the pineapple-forward Matador, and the El Diablo, harmonizing cassis and ginger ale.
The warmth of rum and quiet pours of sherry
Rum choices are just as varied, spanning minty Mojitos and refreshing citrus Sol Cubanos to warming comforts like hot buttered rum garnished with butter and a cinnamon stick for cooler nights. The bar also pours Valdespino sherries like Fino and Oloroso, as well as fortified cocktail serves such as the Rebujito lengthened with soda or the Adonis accented with vermouth, inviting guests to linger over thoughtful sips.
