About Bar Sumi

Tucked under an escalator in Regent Place, Bar Sumi skips printed menus for drinks dialed straight to your taste. Regulars duck into the dim room for pours tuned on the fly—no lists, no filler. Give bartender Mr. Wednesday a favored spirit or brief prompt; he draws on classic specs to shake balanced drinks without heat or grit. The tight footprint is built for duos, with tables reserved in advance and seated only once the full pair arrives.

  • Freestyle Custom Builds: Bypasses printed menus entirely, tailoring custom pours directly to individual flavor cues and spirits preferences.
  • Discreet, Dim Setting: Tucked beneath the Regent Place escalator, providing a quiet, low-lit space suited for couples and date nights.
  • Classic Foundations: Builds each customized pour on deep classic cocktail knowledge, emphasizing balance before venturing into freestyle creations.

Before you head over

Essential advice for navigating reservations, party sizes, and bespoke ordering—reserve your seats in advance to experience it seamlessly.

  • Reserve Ahead and Arrive Together

    With very limited seating in this discreet space, walk-in spots are scarce. Advance reservations are strongly advised, and note that the venue requires all guests in your party to be present before you can be seated.

  • Communicate Palate Preferences Openly

    Because there is no printed menu, the bespoke experience is most rewarding when you share your flavor and spirit preferences with the bartender. Be prepared to start with classic cocktail foundations before progressing to signature creations.

  • Keep Your Party Small

    The dark, moody room tucked beneath the escalator is tailored primarily for dates and pairs. Larger parties often encounter rigid seating constraints and will find the layout far less accommodating.
