2 Best Bars in Nakameguro and Daikanyama, Tokyo

Alongside the Meguro River, a few minutes southeast of Naka-Meguro Station, the very hip Cabin—designed with what it describes as a “cotemporary rustic” theme—has an extensive range of world whiskies and rare local tipples, as well Champagne and cocktails.

Part cocktail bar, part event space that runs DJ nights, movie screenings, recitals, and art exhibitions, neon-lit Debris is a very chic hangout for Daikanyama’s creative set. The mixologists here can mix up classics, but also get creative with artisanal spirits from around the world. Most events have a ¥500 cover charge.
