Bar None
Opening this month, the all-new 51 East Bar & Lounge mixes creative cocktails and delicate bites with luxury and unforgettable views.
Perched high above the city with unrivaled views of the iconic Tokyo Tower, the Club’s newest addition is redefining what it means to drink and dine in style.
This exclusive, high-end bar is not just a venue, it’s an experience tailored for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
From the moment you step onto the expansive third floor, you’re greeted by the warm glow of Tokyo’s skyline and an atmosphere that blends refined elegance with relaxed sophistication. Behind the bar, the Club’s mixologists craft original creations that rival the city’s best, while also mastering the timeless classics—perfectly balanced martinis, rich negronis, crisp gin and tonics, and more.
Members helped choose 51 East Bar & Lounge’s lineup of signature sips from a selection of 12 offerings at a tasting on August 8. From the Rum-ble in the Jungle with its rising smoke to a Million Roses—a blend of botanist gin, rose syrup, amaretto, and Persian rose water garnished with rose dust—the creativity of the mixologists was on full display.
The culinary offering is no less impressive. A curated menu of small plates has been designed to complement every sip, from delicate bites that pair with your favorite wines to bold flavors that match the depth of a signature cocktail. Select premium beers round out the drinks list, ensuring that every preference is met with equal care.
As Douglas Schafer, chair of the Club’s Food & Beverage Committee, notes, “Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive, elevated experience throughout 51 East.”
Whether you’re here to unwind after a long day, entertain distinguished guests, or simply savor a quiet moment above the city, this new bar offers the perfect blend of luxury, exclusivity, and unforgettable views. It’s more than just the best new bar in Tokyo, it’s your new favorite seat in the city.
