6 Bar Design Ideas

The Japanese cocktail bar has been a tradition since Tokyo’s Ginza district invented the style in the 1920s. Our bar design ideas listed below incorporate some of these classic elements as well as newer innovations to keep it modern. If you already have a bar and are thinking of renovating or opening a new location, the Japanese bar style can be a dramatic and exciting choice. Please take a look at these bars, designed by our top Japanese architects and use them as a starting point for your own ideas. You can connect and work with them to imagine the perfect use of space for your bar that will be the hit of the nightlife.
