Dinner at Nobu often begins with a prelude at Nobu Bar, an elegant, bijou bar decked in natural wood. Besides a comprehensive sake list and selected wines by the glass, there are also signature cocktails by head bartender John Paul, including the Matsuhisa martini (vodka, Hokusetsu Junmai sake, ginger and Japanese cucumber). On weekdays, the bar hosts sundowners during its Social Hours, and drinks start at just $10.
