Like that hidden bar that only the locals know about, Kazu Yakitori bar was opened as a Japanese grilled-chicken and sake bar. Located on the second story of a building on Courtney Place, it is a great hide-away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. From couples to groups, everyone can enjoy the expansive counter space that looks over the open kitchen, or the table seating both inside and on the balcony. There are many delicious drinks to choose from, from the carefully selected Sake, Japanese beers on tap, to the stronger Shochu, and New Zealand wines. There is nothing better than enjoying a cold draft beer while watching your food being immaculately prepared in front of you.
