Tabelog ratingLocated on the 45th floor of the Bulgari Hotel Tokyo in Yaesu, The Bvlgari Bar (ブルガリ バー) offers one of the city's most dramatic settings for a drink. Its main draw is a large open-air terrace with near-360° views encompassing Tokyo Station and the Marunouchi skyline, paired with a menu of theatrical, precisely crafted cocktails.
Guests consistently praise the stunning evening views and the creativity of the signature drinks, which often feature Japanese spirits and local ingredients. Cocktails like THE BVLGARI COCKTAIL, Night Jewel, and ESPRESSO WHAT ELSE? are described as meticulously balanced. The experience is elevated by attentive, multilingual bartenders and staff—reviewers frequently name individuals like Andrea, Thiago, and Claire as standout hosts. Beyond drinks, the bar serves high-end snacks, pizza, tiramisu, and an impressive Sunday brunch buffet.
The premium setting comes with premium prices, and a few reviewers find some food dishes merely ordinary for the cost. Other minor criticisms include an occasionally confusing elevator route to the bar and reports of brusque reception or service that prioritises hotel guests during busy periods.
Expect to spend around ¥6,000–¥7,999 for lunch and ¥10,000–¥14,999 for an evening visit. Reviewers recently paid around ¥3,000 for a Forest Berry cocktail, ¥1,800 for a latte, and ¥7,800–¥10,800 for set courses. The Sunday brunch buffet was reported at ¥24,000. Most agree the price is justified for a special occasion, thanks to the combination of craftsmanship, service, and the unforgettable view.
