BAR NINE — Restaurant in Fukuoka

From the moment you walk in, BAR NINE delivers an atmosphere that is stylish yet welcoming — perfect for winding down after a busy day in Fukuoka.

🍸 Drinks that Delight

The cocktail selection here is impressive. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic gin & tonic or something more creative, the bartenders know their craft. The seasonal signature cocktails stand out: balanced in flavour, beautifully presented and clearly made with care. The mocktail options are also a bonus — ideal if you prefer something lighter without missing out on the specialities.

🎯 Atmosphere & Location

Located just a short walk from Hakata Station, BAR NINE is perfectly placed for both locals and travellers alike. Inside, the lighting and décor strike a nice balance between elegant and relaxed. The bar counter invites you to sit and chat; tables offer more intimate space for conversation.

👌 Service with Personality

What really makes the visit stand out is the service. The staff are attentive without being overbearing. They take the time to ask what kind of flavours you like and then tailor recommendations accordingly. That kind of personalised touch makes the experience feel special rather than generic.

Great location and accessible from major transport hubs.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff who elevate the experience.

The drinks were fantastic, and the service equally so. The bar itself was a very comfortable hideaway. Highly recommend!

Had the Mars Old Fashioned several times, and it's a well balanced drink that isn't as abrasive as other old fashioneds I'm used to. The yuzu gin tonic and cosmopolitan were also very well made.

The bartender was very friendly along with the other servers, and would offer otsumami like chips or beef jerky along with the drinks.

I casually mentioned that I'd return the following night, and they ended up saving a seat for me. Was pretty funny and I really appreciated the small gesture.

Great bar, would come back again. Also...
