Bar Leather Apron

Bar Leather Apron is a world-renowned cocktail bar tucked away in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. Founded by Justin Park and Tom Park, this intimate and refined space offers a world-class drinking experience that blends Japanese hospitality with meticulous craft. The bar is widely acclaimed for its masterful mixology, premium spirits—especially its rare whiskey collection—and Japanese precision in cocktail presentation. From their famed Old Fashioned, featuring hand-carved ice and house-made bitters, to inventive seasonal creations, each drink is executed with thought and care. The menu is an homage to both traditional cocktail culture and Hawaiian flavors, often incorporating local ingredients like liliko‘i, pineapple, and black sesame. The ambiance is upscale yet understated—seating just 24 guests, it feels more like a hidden den than a typical bar. Wood, leather, and ambient lighting create a warm, elegant setting ideal for conversation or contemplation. Recognized on the World's 50 Best Bars list and the recipient of multiple prestigious awards, Bar Leather Apron is a must-visit destination for cocktail aficionados and anyone seeking a unique, high-caliber drinking experience in Hawaii.
