Gori Gori Peku - Japanese Whisky Bar is a cozy and intimate spot with a unique and impressive selection of whiskies. The cocktails, including the Sotoku, Nagano, and Kado Old Fashioned, are expertly crafted and offer a unique twist on classic drinks. The Old Fashioned, in particular, is praised for its balance and use of fig. The bar offers the option of half pours, with a 20% charge but tip included. The dimly lit bar features minimal decor, focusing on the top-notch whisky and cocktails.
Customers describe it as one of the best cocktail bars in the city, reminiscent of small bars in Tokyo. The drinks are on the higher end, but the A5 Manhattan is considered the best cocktail in the Twin Cities. The bartender/server helps customers choose from the reasonably priced and milder Japanese whiskies. The intimate environment and unique offerings make it a place customers look forward to returning to, with a varied crowd and good people-watching opportunities.
