About this place
Bite into a kumquat whole and you get the fruit’s sweetness alongside the peel’s gentle bitterness. That is how one diner describes enjoying Bar Lobo’s Kumquat Gin and Tonic. Others have found it refreshingly easy to drink, making it an appealing choice for a first taste of the fruit. For something warm, the winter recommendation is Irish Coffee: Irish whiskey with freshly brewed coffee and whipped cream, finished with cinnamon. One drinker describes a balance of coffee bitterness and sweetness, with a warming effect on a cold evening.
The food menu includes house-cured sansho peppercorns with cream cheese for 550 yen, blue cheese with honey nuts, and smoked mixed nuts for 440 yen. Choose nuts for a light nibble, or pair a drink with the peppercorns or honey nuts and cheese if you would rather linger over a snack.
There is also a selection of whiskies. One visitor says staff gave clear guidance on choosing after they shared their budget and preferences. Bar Lobo suits a quiet solo drink at the counter as well as a cocktail catch-up with friends. It is open until 2:00 from Monday to Saturday and until 0:00 on Sundays.
