El Lequio is part of SG Group and is their only venue in Okinawa. Visited for some after dinner drinks and really enjoyed it.
I arrived at around 8:15pm and it was still reasonably quiet but it quickly filled up. The drinks list is innovative with Latin as well as local Ryukyu inspiration and features lots of local ingredients, non-alcoholic optikns are available as well. I had the Acerola Paloma, Tommy's Okinawa Soba, Tropical Pornstar and to finish, the Kokuto de Tiramisu.
Every cocktail was incredible in its own right but you absolutely must order the Kokuto de Tiramisu for your last drink, it is incredible!
There is a decent menu of bar snacks as well ranging from tacos to Soba. I tried the soki soba and really liked it.
The crew behind the bar were a delight, chatting with guests and providing entertainment with their cocktail making skills. Special mention to Shion who was looking after my section of the bar on the night.
Such a fun experience. Be sure to visit when...
Read moreWe recently visited El Lequio and had an amazing experience. The bar beautifully fuses local Ryukyu culture with Latin American influences, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. Our server was very energetic and helpful. She presented the cocktail menu to us with a detailed explanation, answered our questions, and gave us suggestions on what drinks to order based on our preferences.
We ordered three cocktails: Tropical Pornstar, Kokuto de Tiramisu, and Kijimuna's Perfumes (all Ryukyu-inspired). We wanted to order some snacks too but we were too full after the dinner, we only ordered The SG Club's Truffle Popcorn, which paired well with the cocktails.
