Tokyo Bird Japanese Whisky Bar Sydney

Inspired by Tokyo, Made for Sydney

Since opening our doors in 2014, we’ve taken inspiration from Tokyo’s iconic yakitori-ya and intimate cocktail bars. Our aim has always been simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where quality drinks, delicious food, and great conversation come together. Whether you’re perched at the bar or enjoying a quiet corner with friends, Tokyo Bird offers a distinctly Japanese experience with a local Sydney twist.

 

A Celebration of Japanese Whisky

At the heart of Tokyo Bird is our passion for Japanese whisky. Our ever-growing back bar proudly showcases one of the largest Japanese whisky collections in Australia, featuring rare and sought-after bottles from legendary distilleries such as Suntory, Nikka, and Ichiro’s Malt. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your whisky journey, there’s something to discover in every pour.
