The “intentional chaos” of Tokyo nightlife will come alive for one month only as a pop-up bar inside a RiNo hotel.
The Ramble Hotel, at 1280 25th St., in Denver, will transform Suite 6A with neon lights, a turntable spinning Japanese records and six original cocktails starting Friday. The collaboration with the hotel’s signature restaurant, Death & Co., and distributor High Road Spirits will be open to walk-ins on select Thursday and weekend nights until Saturday, Nov. 29.
Genki Bar, as the pop-up is called, gets its trendy visual inspiration from Tokyo pop culture and “the feeling of trekking through the neon jungle of Tokyo’s vibrant streets and stumbling into a quaint, unassuming bar,” the Ramble said. Each original cocktail has a symbol resembling a Japanese animal or character, like a capybara, monkeys and No Face, a character from the movie “Spirited Away.” The drinks are served with small snacks: Pocky sticks, yuzu mochi, hard candy or cucumber slices.
Suite 6A isn’t actually a room in the hotel, but a small space “tucked away” on the mezzanine level of the Ramble.
The hotel says current times and hours will be posted on Genki Bar’s Instagram account (@genki.bar).
