I guess aha saloon closed down. I checked out public house and infinithy and beyond so far. Going to mood and indulge today and maybe lab

Great video. Hard to believe we just wandered into one of the best bars in Asia blind on our last trip. Need to try the rest!

Let me see if some of the bars I went to in 2014 are still around.

You added the word "Might" to truthfulize the clickbait and I WANT TO CRY. THANK YOU.

This channel is so so under the radar

Singapore has been high on my travel list. That long flight from California for me means additional layovers in Philippines or Malasia. I might need to help you complete your recommended list or meet you out there. Bummer on that setback. Thank you for the consistently good videos Jake. Kampai

I had Nayuta, Kirip Truman, and Craftroom on my list for next year, adding Hollow and Ista to that list. Thank you for this! I used your Tokyo videos as a reference too for my trip earlier this year.

managed to go to many of these bars this past week, I've watched this video so often that while I was at each bar, this background music was often in my head!

Great video. Ounce is the best on the list by far.

This is awesome!

You did it again Jake. Another, knock it out of the park, video for us and extensive list of bars. Headed from Tokyo to Taipei tomorrow. Will let you know which one of your recommended bars I was able to hit up. Kampai

Just got back from Tokyo. Went to memento mori and trench both were great! Thanks for putting this list together.

so when are you starting group tours? My wife and I are in 🎉

WONDERFUL VIDEO! VIRTUAL BAR HOPPIING

Absolutely stellar videography!

jjajaja respek boo, more vlogging tho

Love that line! “Temple of Cocktails”

Aside from the awesome content, your music selection routinely slaps.

When you say "the best bars in Kyoto", I think what you mean to say is "the best social media, influencer friendly, Instagrammable, massive queues, overpriced, full of foreign tourists, wouldn't be touched with a barge pole by Kyoto locals bars in Kyoto".

Bro this fucking music is annoying af

Ki No Bi looks incredible. Add it to the bucket list.

What is the name of the Tom Waits CD played at bar Apollo??

Great video man! Appreciate the cocktail breakdown too

This man should have more views and subscribers. Amazing content

Your videos have been my speakeasy guide for 3/4 cities now. Awesome stuff mate.

Fantastic video! Just went to Bees Knees last night and alchemist the night before because of this and both were great! The presentation at bees knees was absolutely next level.

Your channel is gold mate!! Keep up the amazing content

First time in. 20 years in bar. Loving the vibe!

Thank you for introducing me to my hometown👍👏

Because of this video we ended up going to Bar Shiki and Bible Club - great bars, thanks for the recommendations! And what a city Osaka is, our favourite nights ended up just being drinking at two local Izakayas near where we stayed, which I think is always going to be the case, but the cocktail bars were a truly sublime expereince.

what is the first song i was jamming lol

With Rocking Chair being in the list, I'm sorta surprised that you K6 isnt in the list. The owners of Rocking Chair are graduates of K6

I rarely comment but your channel deserves the interaction. Well done mate, nicely presented and such a relief to search these up and not get tourist-trap vibes

Meh…

thank you so much for these videos. you have made me unbelievably more excited for my trip to japan. great videos. you really know your stuff

I've walked down some of the places you have been and never realized that I had passed such amazing cocktail bars. Definitely an excuse to come back Seoul was an experience I absolutely enjoyed. Also, not surprised that at Geranium the bartenders wouldn't stop talking about Faker

Super cool to see Bar Composition make the list! That place is wonderful. The Love Potion was my favorite but all their drinks were excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well; I overheard the bartender recognizing a foreign patron who had visited a long time ago

What was the name of the Mandu restaurant you queued for?

Are any of these English friendly?
