Bar Pocket

Behind the entrance lies an arresting sight: row upon row of bottles crowding the back bar and counter surfaces. Sugamo's Bar Pocket functions as a comfortable roost for exploring an expansive whisky collection alongside polished cocktails. Scotch single malts and American bourbons form the core of the library, while a glance into the deeper shelves might reveal obscure bottlings that catch a whisky lover's eye.

The service is approachable and conversational, extending to personalized advice on glassware and serving styles, whether neat or on the rocks. Guests can request custom libations tailored to their mood or choose from well-executed classics including the Old Fashioned, John Collins, Penicillin, and Rusty Nail. Non-alcoholic cocktails are also prepared with care, making the bar just as welcoming for those moderating their alcohol intake or looking for an easy nightcap on an after-party crawl.

A modest selection of bar snacks and light dishes is on hand to accompany the pours. The space accommodates both solo guests nursing a quiet dram and those looking to trade stories with the bartender or neighboring patrons. Bar Pocket opens Tuesday through Saturday from 20:00 until 27:00 the following morning (closed Sundays and Mondays), and accepts major credit cards along with electronic money options for a hassle-free conclusion to the night.
