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.

Really cozy vibe & the music is not too loud or overstimulating so you can actually have a conversation. Great service too, the server was always there right when we needed her! The food & drinks were tasty & came very quickly

Un Izakaya caché & authentique, comme au Japon, avec d'excellents whiskys & des cocktails abordables. Le service au bar était impeccable. Le menu aurait pu être plus varié avec de meilleures portions.

Fun place! Drinks & food were good. The layout of the bar is a little odd, we were very close to the entrance & separate from the main area.
