01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Step out of the elevator and a subtle scent of wood greets you, leading through the door into a tranquil room anchored by a solid single-slab wooden counter and matching tables. Perched on the 7th floor away from the bustle of Gotanda, BAR Sequel sets down soft, muted lighting for nursing a drink in peace. First-time bar visitors find an accommodating welcome with bartenders happy to talk through drink options, making the room just as comfortable for a quiet solo evening as it is for conversation with someone close.
The back bar displays a broad collection of bottles. Japanese whisky highballs feature Hakushu, Yamazaki, and Hibiki, while Scotch selections range from the peaty Bowmore 12 Year Old to Macallan 12 Year Old. Guests can also branch out with a lemon gin and tonic made with Sicilian lemon, a Moscow mule, or a drink mixed to a sweeter profile, so navigating the menu is easy even on nights when whisky is not on your mind.
The food menu is another highlight, offering more than just perfunctory accompaniments. Snacks include BAR Sequel's house potato salad, mixed nuts, and salted caramel popcorn. Those seeking a more substantial meal can choose from a daily pasta special, sandwiches, or shrimp pilaf, bridging the hours between a drink straight after work and late-night dining.
