Magic Bar CUORE

Tucked away in the neon-lit heart of Tokyo’s famous Kabukichō district, Magic Bar CUORE offers an unforgettable blend of nightlife and illusion. Located just a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit, on the 5th floor of the Shinkō Building at 1-2-13 Kabukichō, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, you’ll find this unique bar where magic is part of the service. From the moment you enter, CUORE sets the stage: the interior is dimly lit with bluish tones, magic props subtly displayed, and seating arranged so that the show happens right next to you. According to travel-guides, “the tricks are done right at the bar… You’ll be part of it”. The experience is designed for both thrill and sociability. One of the core offerings is a 2-hour plan of drinks and live magic—table-side illusions, stage magic, and even mini-lessons you can try yourself. Meanwhile, the drink menu boasts around 500 different cocktails, so whether you favour something strong, sweet or showy, there’s plenty to explore. CUORE is ideal for everything from a memorable date night, to celebrating a birthday or simply enjoying an extraordinary evening out in Tokyo. There’s a birthday plan where a cake magically appears and message cards teleport, making it a fully immersive experience. The feel is playful yet polished — it doesn’t feel like a seedy trick bar but rather a refined destination where the theme and execution both shine. Given its location in busy Kabukichō, the bar feels energetic, but thanks to the magic focus it also feels intimate — you’re close to the action, not watching from a distance. For best seats (especially near the magic stage) it’s wise to book ahead. The cover charge or set plan is part of the night, with additional charges for drinks and extras. In short: If you’re in Tokyo and want more than just a drink — you want a story, a show and something to remember — Magic Bar CUORE delivers.
