Best Bars in Roppongi, Tokyo
Rooftop bars, hotel bars, jazz cellars — Tokyo's international after-dark district.
Roppongi has been Tokyo's international district for fifty years. The combination of late-licensing rules, English-speaking bartenders, and embassy proximity has produced a different bar culture from the rest of Tokyo — louder, later, less precise, more fun.
