Tokyo Tea Rooms

EAST AND WEST COALESCE IN CANTERBURY’S CAPTIVATING NEW COCKTAIL BAR ‘TOKYO TEA ROOMS’ with Canterbury's first KARAOKE BOOTH! Tokyo Tea Rooms, a boutique late night cocktail bar experience, is launching in Canterbury in 2018, with guest mixologists and creative performance. Formerly the venue has been primarily occupied by national chains.

We were pleased to stumble across this bar in Canterbury, it was somewhere different to the average pub. There is a large gin list with recommendations of mixers. We would recommend here for a pre dinner drink and we would return!
