Tokyo

 

Tokyo is a trendy, three-story bar located near Central Station and the ‘Diamond Strip’. The venue adds a touch of refinement to the city’s vibrant bar scene, with each floor bringing a unique experience.

As you step inside, you’ll find the main bar area. It’s a cosy, well-lit space with a relaxed atmosphere. The decor is modern with brick-walled booths and brightly coloured cushions that add a hint of fun. The lighting from overhead chandeliers and candles sets a warm ambiance. This comfortable setting makes it the perfect spot to unwind with friends over drinks or start a night out in the city.

If you’re looking for a different vibe, head to the basement where you’ll discover the tropical-themed Tiki-O bar. This area offers a slice of exotic life right in the heart of Newcastle. The unique theme gives this bar a character of its own and sets it apart from other local watering holes.

Tokyo’s true standout feature, however, is the rooftop terrace. This space is a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor elements with its exposed brick walls adorned with lilac flowers. From Wednesday to Saturday, starting at 8pm, the terrace comes alive with deep house and nu-disco tunes from the resident DJs. The music, coupled with the charming setting, makes it a popular spot for revellers.

When it comes to the drinks, Tokyo takes pride in its extensive cocktail menu. You’ll find a wide variety of offerings, from classic staples to unique mixes. One of their notable drinks is a twist on a martini, infused with lavender and if you’re a whisky enthusiast, their selection of Japanese whiskies won’t disappoint. In addition, they stock premium and craft beers for those who fancy a pint.

Guests often comment on the good value for money at Tokyo Bar, and they even add a fun twist with their Dice Nights. On these nights, you could potentially have a drink for free if you roll a six. If you’re interested in learning more about cocktails, they offer mixology classes too.

Tokyo shines for its inviting atmosphere, pleasant staff, and enjoyable music, with many considering it a regular haunt. Whether you’re out for a Saturday night cocktail or a summer evening on the rooftop, this venue promises a memorable experience for locals and visitors alike.
