Overview

One of Asia's buzziest bars is landing in Sydney for one night only this October. Tokyo Confidential, the high-rise cocktail and caviar temple that stormed into Asia's 50 Best Bars 51–100 longlist less than a year after it opened in 2023, is bringing its glam house-party energy and sophisticated cocktails to Prefecture 48's pop-up Suntory Bar on Tuesday, October 28.

Heading the takeover is the venue's Co-Founder, Holly Graham, whose warm hospitality and cheeky East London swagger have made her one of the global drinks industry's most respected figures — the drinks writer turned bartender is a fixture on the Bar World 100 list of the most influential bar personalities on the planet.

At Suntory Bar, Graham will be shaking up a selection of inventive highballs and TC signatures that capture her bar's playful philosophy of pull up, 'fess up. Highlights include the Hokkaido High, a long serve of Suntory Toki Whisky, awamori, corn tea and mango, the espresso martini-inspired Mugi Boogie, featuring Haku Vodka, mugi shochu, coffee and soy caramel and TC's standout Glizztini, an umami-laden mix of Roku Gin, mugi shochu, tomato, mezcal, onion brine and MSG.

You can pair your serve with a snack from the menu of contemporary Japanese-inspired bites, including fried oysters with citrus mayo and ikura and a fish sando with a herb salad, tartare sauce and tobiko.

It's all part of Suntory Bar, a three-month residency taking over Prefecture 48's sleek cocktail den Whisky Thief. The immersive experience celebrates the legacy brand's stable of premium Japanese spirits, international whiskeys and more across two floors of the CBD venue, in an elegant setting that channels a modern Japanese garden.

Walk-ins are available for the Tokyo Confidential takeover, but bookings are highly recommended — don't miss your chance to catch one of the biggest names in the global bar world shaking things up in Sydney.
