Bar Sumi offers a truly unique, menu-less experience where every drink is tailored to you. The vibe is warm and lively, and the bartenders are incredibly friendly, professional, and patient — especially for someone like me who doesn’t have much bar experience. They take the time to listen, guide you through your options, and craft drinks that fit exactly what you’re looking for. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a personalized and welcoming night out.

We came in person a few days before but we arent allowed to book a table for 6. We then made 2 bookings of 3 for our visit. However, we see a bunch of people of 6 who can make the booking of 6. We would like to clarify how the booking can be made for 6 but got ignored. The drinks take too long to come as well and we werent introduced the omakase one we tried before.The waitress spilt the water when pouring for us. One thing to also praise is the drinks overall are very good especially the mocha one. If you guys want to reach this type of Japanese bar style, still got some room for improvement and loads to work on.

Drinks were very good and pretty much custom made. Very delicious. Ambiance is very cool and feels exclusive. We just didn’t like one of the bartenders who was either the manager or owner. He made us feel uncomfortable and was talking down to staff members in front of everyone so that wasn’t great. It’s just a bar/counter so we could see everything. But the drinks were definitely well curated.
