Sydney Is Getting A Taste Of Tokyo’s Nightlife In A Series Of Immersive Pop-Up Bars
Tokyo’s Golden Gai Bar District is iconic — six narrow laneways, just wide enough to walk through, that are crammed with more than 200 tiny bars. It’s a must-see for foodies visiting the city, but now it’s coming to Sydney in a series of immersive pop-up bars.
Three themed bars will be springing up in Paddington later this month to make you feel like you’re enjoying a drink in the intimate small bars of Tokyo. Each pop-up will accommodate ten guests at a time and serve a different drink specialty.

All alcohol tastes better when it’s served in a can. I don’t make the rules.

There’s no word yet on which flavours will be served, but a quick look at the Koyomi website makes us think it’ll be yuzu and lime, mandarin and grapefruit, and blood orange and bitters.
Whatever they are, each drink will be paired with some kind of food to complete the transformation into an authentic Tokyo small bar.
The Tokyo-inspired pop-up bars will be open for three days from Wednesday, September 18 until Friday, September 20 and you can get tickets here.
