My bartender was Zara and wow! Not only was she knowledgeable about all the food and drinks, but she made me feel right at home and made sure all my friends were comfortable. We were a large group and still didn't wait too long. We loved their energy and can't wait to be back. Her service and the atmosphere of the bar was top notch, we will be back!

phenomenal, unique bar geared toward anime enthusiasts. The mixed drink menu is great; food options are okay. I feel they should add more food, but it's primarily a bar, so I understand. I would 100 percent recommend it.

It was such a fun experience. Yummy food, tasty drinks, amazing staff, and anime. What more could you want?

FAQ

What is Izakaya?

Izakaya is a Japanese term that refers to a casual dining and drinking establishment, often characterized by a lively atmosphere where friends gather to enjoy small plates and drinks. At Izakaya, we embrace this spirit with an anime-inspired twist! While we may not resemble a traditional izakaya, our vibrant space encourages socializing and sharing delicious, multicultural Asian-American fusion dishes influenced by Japanese and Korean street food. Our playful name reflects a fun, bar-like experience, promising a unique outing filled with great food, refreshing drinks, and unforgettable moments with friends!

Is Izakaya family-friendly?

Absolutely! We aim to create a welcoming atmosphere for all ages until 8 PM, with family-friendly content and activities. After 8 PM, we may feature shows, music, or events that are geared more toward adults. Just a heads-up: on Fridays and Saturdays after 10 PM, we transition to a 21+ environment. We can’t wait to see you and your family enjoying your time with us!
