Oldies, Japan Village: Highballs, Chu-Hi and City Pop
Oldies doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s an old-school Japanese cocktail bar inside Japan Village at 269 36th St, next to its sister izakaya, WakuWaku.
The verdict: the best cocktail room in Industry City, with prices to match. The fresh-fruit cocktails are $18 and the Ginza-style list $17, but a Suntory Toki highball is $14.50–$15 and a chu-hi with fresh juice is $12. Tokyo City Pop, disco and funk on the speakers.
What to Expect
- Cheaper pours: Kirin $7.50, Sapporo draft $9, house sake $10, chu-hi $12.
- Sake: a three-pour New York sake flight for $12.50, including Brooklyn Kura from down the block.
- Food: bar snacks; the kitchen closes about 75 minutes before the bar.
- Hours: Wed–Thu 5–9:30pm, Fri 5–10:30pm, Sat 2–10:30pm, Sun 4–9:30pm.
