Stumbled upon this whiskey tasting bar near our hotel and glad we decided to go in. This bar only opened 3 weeks ago and the selection of scotch and Japanese whiskey was vast (not just the usual suspects or Suntory brands), including many limited release bottles that are difficult to find abroad. There also was memorabilia from Star Wars and Jordan/Bulls era which added to the whole experience.

Masashi was friendly, attentive, and provided great recommendations for whiskey based on our preferences. Overall, great experience to do some whiskey tasting and highly unique given the tasting-only aspect of any bottle in the bar (they do not sell bottles themselves).

Read moreWe stumbled upon WHISKY SPOT CHALMUN'S TOYBOX while walking to do our laundry, and what a fantastic find it was! This cosy and fun “man cave”-style bar fuses a toy box charm the finest selection of Scotch and Japanese whiskey.

Read moreMy boyfriend and I (both 30 year old Americans) went to this spot spontaneously for a drink before a dinner reservation down the block, and we greatly enjoyed ourselves, and would highly recommend for both the drink selection and the atmosphere! I had a craft beer, he had the whiskey flight tasting. The selection of whiskey is truly staggering. The owner/bartender is also extremely friendly and clearly takes lots of pride and interest in his craft. He also has lots of collector’s items all around the bar (NBA Jordan gear, guitars, Star Wars items) that he loved discussing when we asked him about it. We stayed for about 40 minutes — it was such an interesting experience and we highly recommend if you want a relaxing drink at...
