There’s an essentially unlimited choice of watering holes around the city you can pop into after work, but few other bars can match the extensive selection of cocktails and whiskies at Cabin. The bar sits along the Meguro River and is just a stone's throw from Nakameguro Station. Though not quite a speakeasy, Cabin is easily missable due to its inconspicuous cabin-looking structure, hence the name.
The lengthy drinks menu lists beer, wine and liqueurs, as well as whiskies from around the world which you can enjoy in a whisky flight. There’s also a range of signature cocktails inspired by classic tipples developed by head bartender Sullivan Gouvea. One of the highlights from the cocktail menu includes Cabin's take on an Americano, which features hojicha-infused Aperol and is finished off with soda and lemon.
Come hungry, because you wouldn’t want to miss out on Cabin’s recently introduced Cabin Fried Chicken Plate. It comes in two options: the signature featuring a housemade, umami-rich seasoning blend, and a spicy version made with zingy ichimi chilli powder. The perfectly crisp fried chicken is accompanied by pickled coleslaw, dill pickles and homemade ranch for dipping.
If you’re just looking for nibbles, don’t pass up on the tasty snacks. Standard offerings include smoked nuts, dried fruit and chocolate, while those with a sweet tooth will appreciate Cabin’s take on smores. You can roast the marshmallows right at your table and enjoy them sandwiched between Japanese rice crackers.
