Gold Bar at EDITION

Located on the ground floor of The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, Gold Bar at EDITION is a glamorous urban hideaway—a sophisticated cocktail bar that transforms Tokyo’s nightlife with a golden touch. Designed as a “social playground,” this 87-seat venue melds modern flair with classic elegance, channeling the spirit of the early 20th-century Golden Age of cocktails. The aesthetic is striking, echoing traditional Japanese yakisugi (charred timber) in its dark wood palette, contrasted with lavish gold-leaf accents and custom antiques that exude refined luxury. Warm downlighting and plush sofas add to an atmosphere that feels both lavish and intimate. Gold Bar delights with elevated interpretations of Golden Age classics—Martini, Daiquiri, Manhattan—reimagined with contemporary techniques and local Japanese flavor profiles. Drinks such as the “Psychedelic” (a Martini-style homage to Picasso with absinthe, peach, and aloe) and “Thorns in You” (featuring tequila, chili, rose water, rhubarb jam, and citrus) showcase the bar’s inventive spirit. Complementing the cocktails are izakaya-style small plates ideal for sharing—highlights include a sumptuous Wagyu Beef Cutlet Sandwich, among other refined bar snacks that pair beautifully with your drink. A standout on the scene, Gold Bar has earned a place in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025, ranking 67th. Its luxurious yet relaxed vibe, combined with creative cocktails and elegant design, make it a must-visit destination for those seeking both style and substance in Tokyo’s bar scene.
