Hikone, Shiga, Japan｜Salon Bar Thistle

All around an extremely nice bar with really friendly staff and a very quiet and relaxed atmosphere! A great selection of booze and cigars too!

A very relaxing bar and the bar tenders are helpful and friendly. Service is very high quality.

I visited in a hurry after being recommended by the proprietress of Sazanami Liquor Store. I never thought that there would be such a full-fledged authentic bar on the 1st floor of Sunroute in Hikone... There are plenty of bar foods, and I wanted to try a variety of things, but it was the third bar, so I only had raisin butter, but it was really delicious. The drink menu is extensive, but if you request it, they will make a cocktail that suits your mood. Since it is a cigar bar, the inside smells of cigarettes, but it seems that everyone likes good things, and even people who don't smoke don't feel uncomfortable with the smell of cigarettes. The bartender's constant customer service was pleasant, and it was the best end of the night in Hikone.
