It's quiet & personal for a mature audience looking to chat over amazing drinks. Our bartender Fan was very kind, friendly, & knowledgeable! I will definitely be returning.
I truly enjoy coming to this speakeasy! The atmosphere is super nice & the bartenders know what they are doing. The drinks are very affordable for their quality!
My husband & I's first date was here, so we always try to come back every now & then & it's perfect everytime, the drinks are really good & reasonable pricing.
Great dark spot to chill with friends or a date. The drinks were excellently made, many thanks for the barman for the great cocktails. Will go again, take more pictures & try other stuff in the menu.
Very unassuming place from the outside! Drinks were great as was the vibe. We were there early on saturday & were promptly served.
Amazing cocktail bar with a cozy vibe & beautifully crafted drinks. Andrea, Fan, & Hinako are the best super friendly, talented, & always make you feel welcome. If you want great cocktails & great service, this place is a must-visit.
2025: the Abe no Seithei is perfect if you enjoy whiskey & caramel. Service was efficient. Be prepared for a lineup of you come at Prime times.
2024: the Gempei is still good. Service was a little lacking from our waiter who didn't check in on us even though we added someone. The waitress who wasn't assigned to us was very sweet & helpful though.
2023: the Bunshin was fantastic, the Gempei was really good, both well crafted. I enjoyed the unagi Maki as well. Pleasant efficient service. Wish they had a little more selection foodwise.
2018: Excellent service. Creative drinks. Nice decor. Definitely deserves its ranking among Canada's top bars.
The bar is awesome looking & has a cool concept, the drinks & food was really good, however the staff was so rude & unprofessional. Our waitor (I believe he is a french guy), did not even bother to come see us a second time to see if we wanted another drink or anything else, we had to flag him down, & even when we did he was extremely cold. Sad such staff work in hospitality.
Gokudo used to be my favourite cocktail bar, by far. However, some time a few years ago, the staff & management changed. The menu changed, with iconic & incredibly well-balanced cocktails being removed while less interesting drinks were added. Despite, from what I can tell, the addition of more staff, the service has become worse. Honestly, it's all a big disappointment that has me missing the old Gokudo & the old bar staff that worked there.
