Kanpai Club
Hando, a Heights handroll sushi restaurant, has transformed an unused hallway next door into a bar, which is excellent for late-night nibbles or a few cocktails while waiting to be served at the restaurant. This cozy bar, inspired by Japanese alley bars, provides beverages made with yuzu, umeboshi, and Japanese whisky, as well as small meals from Hando's cuisine.
There are several exclusive-to-Kanpai-Club drinks, such as the punchy rye-based and winter-spiced Rye Slamma Jamma. There are also a variety of Japanese whiskeys and rums available. In addition, the bar offers a large selection of Japanese beer, as well as sake and wine. Kanpai Club is open Sunday–Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight, and Friday–Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Happy hour is available every day from 4 to 6 p.m. and features special nibbles like wasabi shumai and curry croquette.
