Step into the alley for a cocktail.
Golden Gai Cocktail Club, opening Nov. 15 at The Venetian, draws on the spirit of the neon-lighted blocks of the Golden Gai district in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo, where hundreds of bars, clubs and dining spots populate narrow alleys and passageways.
Golden Gai, which roughly means Golden Block, lies just inside Wakuda, the Japanese restaurant opened in June 2022 at the property by Tetsuya Wakuda, the famed Michelin-starred chef, in partnership with 50 Eggs Hospitality Group. 50 Eggs is also opening Golden Gai, which replaces the lounge at Wakuda.
Luis Lopez, beverage director of the cocktail club, harnesses the precision and seasonality of Japanese food and drink with inspiration from some of the world’s top bars.
