The whole Imperial Hotel is great, but this bar is really unique. It preserves the features of the second version of the hotel, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and  it is dark, quiet and beautiful. I strongly recommend sitting at the bar if you come here. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They will show you exactly what they are doing and leave the bottles with you for photos. They will explain everything, often with reference to a book about the Frank Lloyd Wright design of the hotel which they always have on hand and will leave for you to browse. It’s expensive, but the service, atmosphere and quality makes it more than worth it. Our favourite bar in the world.

The old Imperial bar is located on the second floor of The imperial hotel.

One is transported back in time with the low lighting and interior of wood, brickwork and red carpets reminiscent of anything from the 1960-1980-es.

Had the Mount Fuji which was good.

Komachi which was sake based with lychee liquor

Imperial 70 was like a sour and looked amazing and tasted quite tart.

Excellent service and expertly crafted cocktails. This feels more like a private club than a public bar. It is quiet, civilized and luxurious. Expensive but worth it.

I don't know how to explain what an old world joy this place has. My mother is an interior designer with a great love for Frank Lloyd Wright. As part of her lifelong pilgrimage to see all his works, this bar holds that small piece of his beautiful design for the Tokyo Imperial Hotel. You can still see the vestiges of its murals, facade, and aesthetic in the bar preserved after the demolition in 1968. If you say you are there for the design, the womderful managers might bring out a book for you to look at. Also the drinks are made with such expertise and although pricey, well worth it.

Cocktail lovers will appreciate this spot.
My husband and I are big FLLW fans so we sought out the Old Imperial Bar, since it has the only remnant of the original Frank Lloyd Wright design from the hotel. Filled with Wright inspired elements and a gorgeous wooden bar that spotlighted each drink. They have a large bar selection featured in unique glassware, with the Wright inspired plate ware and glasses! It was a nice touch.

I ordered the signature cocktail, Mt Fiji, which was perfection. Best cocktail I had in Tokyo! And then our skilled (and welcoming) bartender proudly showed me there famous Mt. Fiji whiskey and generously served up a highball.
