Gaku is a delightful Japanese bar and lounge tucked away in an unassuming strip mall. The atmosphere is relaxing, with low lights and soothing jazz music. The bartenders, especially Yagi-San, are masters of their craft, mixing exceptional cocktails like the highball, Manhattan, whiskey sour, and the best old fashioned. The service is impeccable, with a level of respect and attention comparable to Japan. The bar is incredibly comfortable, with friendly staff and cool, nice customers full of joy and laughter. While there is a cover charge and hourly fee, the overall experience is distinctive and worth trying, especially for those craving an authentic Japanese bar atmosphere. The cocktails are amazing, exquisitely crafted, and the vibe is unmatched anywhere else.
