“Our Cocktail Philosophy”

Billy After Dark cocktails are inspired by the twenty-four micro-seasons that define the flow of life in Japan. Enter a world where you are brought back to your best memories. Reminding you of that the feel & flow from each one.
Perfected classics like the Manhattan and Negroni, riffs on some of Japan’s most beloved cocktails such as the Whisky Highball, and even alcohol-free drinks influenced by ingredients such as yuzu, and umé round out the collection. Through all of this, we want everyone to indulge in enjoyable recollections of the past with our entire cocktail menu being named after great albums from the 90’s & 2000’s.

    Vibe, service and food were exceptional. Open space with close tables and music level made it quite loud inside. Our server was a real pro, she made great recommendations as we had many questions. We should have asked about the size of the 35$ tuna as it was shockingly small for the price.

    I happened upon this place while looking for a fun place for my birthday. I loved my drinks, the sushi rolls were packed with flavor and varying texture, and had the perfect service. Definitely a solid time, not too hard to find, and great vibes.

    Love this place. Somehow, my reservation for four was not showing up, but the host accommodated us anyway. We had a great time. Terrific drinks, food, and service.

    Such a fun place! From figuring out booking, to finding the entrance, to browsing all the cleverly-named drinks and food on the menu, to the funky remixes of my favorite 90s hip hop tunes, this placed delivers a great experience. All the food and drinks we ordered were amazing 🤩🔥

    B.A.D. is definitely an experience to try! Fun vibe, great 90’s-early 2000’s music, fun cocktails! Go in knowing that you won’t order a traditional drink. The server will ask you what you like and give recommendations. The drinks are all apart of the experience too!! Give it a try!

    Billy after dark was an incredible experience of drinks with whisky, allure, and sparks (literally!). The ambiance was inviting and everyone got to feel like a cool kid. Be sure to do the stanky leg for this amazing spot!
