Radio Bar

Radio Bar feels as if it could be from another era when etched glassware was standard, Martinis were the drink of note and jazz crackled from muffled radio speakers. Owned and run by esteemed bartender Koji Ozaki, this lounge is a mix of Japanese stoicism (quiet, elegant bartenders in white tuxedos) and glamorous American cocktails (a perfect Manhattan and kitschy riffs named after American actors) that, oddly enough, play quite nicely together.
