A throwback to early 20th-century Japanese cafés, The Bellwood in Shibuya serves up drinks in a space filled with nostalgia and invention.
The Bellwood Cocktail Bar has quickly made a name for itself, debuting at #49 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars in 2023. The brainchild of renowned bartender Atsushi Suzuki, The Bellwood captures the essence of Japan’s rich drinking history while firmly establishing itself as a modern cocktail destination.
As you enter The Bellwood, you’re immediately transported to a bygone era. The decor features nostalgic elements reminiscent of early 20th-century Japanese kissaten (specialty cafes), with sepia-toned photographs, stained glass, and wood relief finishes. This vintage vibe is enhanced by the subtle notes of old-timey Western music, creating a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance perfect for cocktail enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
