Where the concierge points people first
- Royal Bar — The classic bar of the Palace Hotel Tokyo in Marunouchi, known for its veteran bartenders. A serious cocktail bar, open to non-guests; smart casual is the safe choice. (35.6846, 139.7614)
- ラウンジバー プリヴェ — Lounge Bar Privé, also at the Palace Hotel, with a terrace looking over the moat and the Imperial Palace grounds. The one to choose for the view rather than the counter. (35.6845, 139.7611)
- The Compass Rose — The high-floor sky lounge of The Westin Tokyo at Yebisu Garden Place. A wide night view over southern Tokyo, and a calmer alternative to the crowded rooftops in Shibuya. (35.6417, 139.7155)
- ザ・バー (The Bar) — The Westin Tokyo's main bar, darker and quieter than the sky lounge. For a drink after dinner in Ebisu rather than a view. (35.6416, 139.7155)
- シャンパン・バー(The Champagne Bar - ANA InterContinental Hotel) — A champagne bar in the ANA InterContinental at Akasaka, a short walk from Roppongi. Good for a first drink before dinner in Roppongi or Toranomon. (35.6683, 139.7403)

Club lounges are for key-card holders; the main bar is for everyone
Several rows in this list are club lounges, such as the Executive Lounge, Sheraton Club, Grand Club Lounge and Regency Club Lounge entries. Those open only to guests on club floors and are not somewhere a visitor can walk into. The main bars and sky lounges are open to anyone. Expect a service charge, often in the ten to fifteen per cent range, added to the bill in many Tokyo hotel bars, and some add a cover or music charge in the evening. Tipping on top is not expected in Japan.
