Sound Bar Howl recently relocated to Dogenzaka after operating in the Hatchobori neighbourhood for about five years. Its sleek, self-described ‘neo-classic’ interior and incredible sound system have earned it a loyal following in super-cool Shibuya. The massive speakers in the bar, designed for Howl by world-renowned musician and artist Yosi Horikawa, are made to give off high quality sound no matter where you’re seated. We highly recommend visiting between Tuesday and Saturday to catch the four-hour DJ set.
As for drinks, go for one of the seasonal cocktails or try the owner’s favourite: gin and tonic. It’s made with craft gin from Tokyo Riverside Distillery, and it’s so fragrant it’s been dubbed ‘drinkable perfume’.
