Tori Bar

Tampa, Florida

Tori Bar presents itself as a Japanese gastropub built on small plates and big flavors, an extension of Izakaya Tori sitting across from the University of Tampa in the same plaza as Oxford Exchange. In a more refined manner than its parent, it offers Japanese inspired craft cocktails made with high quality premium ingredients, alongside Japanese whiskies poured to pair with grilled skewers and specialty hand rolls. The concept draws on ichigo ichie, a Japanese idiom about treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment, and the team describes the room as a place for friends and family, good drinks and good conversation, somewhere to unwind and let the day slip away.
