    Had an amazing time here! It is definitely one of the highlights of my Hawaii trip. The reservation is not that easily to get. We checked the link once in a while and were able to snap one. The place does not have a phone number, so the link is the only way to get a reservation. We ordered the matcha and yuzu sour. Matcha is definitely on a strong side with the spirit they used. Yuzu sour is light and airy. It was so enjoyable to drink but also could make you tipsy quickly . The also ordered the salmon dips. It came with freshly toasted bread. They also were kind enough to help us refill the bread. Who would say no to more carbs

    What the heck -- 5 stars! Finally snagged a reservation at Bar Leather Apron in downtown Honolulu after months of anticipation, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. The moment you step into this spot, you might find it surprisingly quiet and unassuming given its location on the ground floor of an office building, but don't let that fool you. The real magic happens at the bar. Jason, our bartender, was a cocktail wizard. Not only was he super friendly, but his passion for mixology was infectious. He walked us through each cocktail, sharing the unique elements that make each mix a standout. Speaking of cocktails, we tried about six different kinds -- each delivered its own flair and complexity. Imagine sipping on vibrant concoctions that tell a story with every sip. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, complimentary snacks and a small dessert appeared before us, courtesy of the house. It's these thoughtful touches that elevate the entire experience.

    This place is utterly amazing! We were lucky to get added to a reservation last minute and now I'm waiting to see when I can make my own reservation. Staff is awesome: friendly, knowledgeable, skilled cocktail artisans. The space is small and dark which makes for an intimate setting for amazing drinks. Certainly a memorable experience that few other bars could rival. It's amazing how reasonably priced the drinks are considering so many of the ingredients are made in house and the ice is hand sculpted. I'm not a whiskey girl so I really enjoyed the flowers for you, boomerang, and their take on the gin and tonic of. All fresh, fragrant, and so easy to drink. It's easy to see why their Mai tai was named world's best! It really was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Fun presentation that slayed the taste buds. We didn't eat much but the milk bread was really tasty and the chocolates they give at the end are really a nice finish to the evening. While they do take walk ins, consider calling ahead to see if they have the man power to serve. I'll be back!

    Very interesting list of cocktails that you won't find anywhere else. A lot of Japanese ingredients. If you're into craft cocktails, this is the place to be if you're able to get a reservation or score a seat with walk-in. Drinks were overall good with quality alcohol and ingredients. I wish the appetizers were closer to perfection given the price they charged but still decent enough although we didn't finish everything so definitely they could be better. Amazing price with the entry level Kaluga hybrid caviar (1oz) upgrade for just $65. Worth the upgrade. However, the menu said it's imperial golden osetra (which generally is more expensive than kaluga hybrid) so that was a little misleading on the menu. I enjoyed the kaluga hybrid at least. I tried 3 drinks - Imperial, La Altena and Fruity and Floral. The Suntory whisky in Imperial was smooth! I could also taste the shiso in the drink, but the whole drink was a little too sweet for me. I think I'd prefer to just drink the whisky by itself lol. La Altena was definitely on the spicy side haha. Smooth tequila as well, but I didn't enjoy the drink as much as I was hoping to. I kind wish I ordered their Mai tai instead for my 2nd drink but I don't think I could handle a 3rd alcoholic drink lol so I went for their zero proof fruity and floral. The egg white and hojicha gave it a good umami flavor, and the frozen apple tasted like dipping dots! That was a very interesting drink and I gotta say it's ironically my favorite one out of the three... Highly recommend the smoked salmon dip! I wish the bread was a little fresher. The onion and scallion dip was good too, but again, the chips could be made better - they're too thick, over fried and over seasoned. None of us could finish it. The cheese and salami had some good options in there. I liked the figs, the cashews, salami and cheese. The pickled cucumber was a little too sweet for me. The Kaluga hybrid caviar had a good briny taste and buttery finish, but didn't have much of a pop, but it's excellent for the price point. Still wish it was the golden imperial osetra as stated on the menu. The service was excellent! Everyone was very nice and attentive. They care. It's amazing to see Jason do his magic in front of us. I don't see a point to come here unless you can sit at the bar for the full experience. That's part of your drink and the price you pay!
