01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Stepping down from the street into the basement brings an immediate sense of calm, separated from the bustle outside. Located on the first basement floor of the Marusaka Building in Shinkawa, Chuo Ward, Bar Antico (バー・アンティコ) is an authentic bar suited for slowing down over a quiet drink.
A Backbar Ranging from Scotch to Bourbon
The whisky selection lined along the backbar covers classic Scotch pours alongside distinctive single malts, ranging from Speyside staples like The Macallan 12 Year and The Glenlivet 12 Year to Highland's Glenmorangie 10 Year and the Island dram Talisker 10 Year. The menu also features Japanese whiskies such as Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, alongside bourbons like Maker's Mark and Blanton's, letting you choose pours to match your mood or preference.
Beyond sipping whisky neat or on the rocks, ordering a cocktail provides an appealing alternative. In addition to standard mixed drinks built on gin, rum, or tequila, the bar serves cocktails featuring seasonal fruit, as well as wine and beer. Paired with light bar snacks, it makes a comfortable setting to wind down the evening as a relaxed second stop after dinner.
A Calm Space Welcoming Solo Guests
Appointed in subdued tones and equipped with table seating alongside the counter, the interior feels equally natural whether you drop in on your own or share a quiet conversation with a companion. Table reservations are accepted, and payment by credit card is supported. Tucked away in Shinkawa, it serves as a reassuring retreat where you can take your time with a good drink.
