Convoy Music Bar

"Drawing its inspiration from Tokyo's celebrated listening bars, Convoy Music Bar stands as a breathtaking venue offering a superior musical experience to its patrons. A part of the renowned Shōwa Hospitality Group, this bar is firmly dedicated to providing a transcendent auditory experience through its custom-built sound system, shipped directly from Japan, and an exquisite selection of vinyl records. The ambiance is an unforgettable blend of elegance and comfort. Guests can sink into cozy seating, surrounded by impressive decor, all while the meticulous sounds from the Japanese audio equipment envelope the room. While the venue impresses with its ambiance and high-quality sound, its cocktail program does not quite reach the same heights. Despite a tempting focus on Japanese whiskey and a seemingly refined cocktail list, the offerings, while not poor, fail to create a lasting impression. An exploration through 2-3 cocktails presents an experience of underwhelming balance and flavors, despite promising descriptions. However, the sophistication of the environment combined with the soothing music experience turns this venue into a worthy spot for an enjoyable night out with friends or a romantic date. Music enthusiasts longing for an unparalleled auditory journey or anyone looking for a stylish, tranquil night will find the Convoy Music Bar a visit worthwhile, as long as the cocktails are not their primary focus. You should expect to pay between $16-18 for cocktails, a slightly higher price point that aligns with the upscale environment. It's important to note that the entrance to the bar is tucked away in an alley, with the door midway down on the left leading to the hostess. The bar strictly enforces several rules, including no videography, smoking or vaping, and a cocktail attire dress code. On busy nights, your stay may be limited to 90 minutes, but usually, the bar has a 2-hour time limit. Also, for groups of 6 or more, bookings should be made directly via email at hello@convoymusicbar.com. Despite the focus on rules, it's these small details that contribute to maintaining the unique atmosphere of the Convoy Music Bar."

"This spot screams 'date night' vibes. Very cozy, intimate, and dimly lit. For me the spot is only on the list because it has one of the best mezcal drinks I've ever had. The 'double bird' with mezcal, Sherry, pineapple, citrus, and dark chocolate balsamic made my jaw drop! Overall well-crafted drinks and the perfect place to impress a lady ;)"

"With a hidden entrance off an alley, this is an elegant space that takes after the listening bars of Tokyo. A music focused bar providing a soothing and stylish setting for cocktails that focus on the classics."
