Shibuya, Tokyo
Walk-in welcome on the upper floor. Reserve for the speakeasy below.
Shingo Gokan's Tokyo Compound
Shingo Gokan opened The SG Club in Shibuya in 2018 after returning from running Speak Low and Sober Company in Shanghai. The three-floor compound is unusual: Casa de Polly is the casual upper floor with a Latin focus, Sip and Guzzle is the ground floor with a tight modern menu, and the basement Sip Speakeasy is a more formal cocktail room with table service.
The cocktails are precise across all three floors. The Casa de Polly Negronis lean Italian-Latin. Sip and Guzzle runs short modern cocktail menus. The basement programme is more classical and serious. The bar has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars list since opening.
The crowd shifts by floor — younger and casual upstairs, more committed cocktail crowd downstairs. Pair with Bar Trench in Ebisu for a Tokyo Shibuya-Ebisu cocktail evening.
