Doron falls short of the impressive standards set by other Japanese bars. The shabby, threadbare-carpeted stairs up to the bar inspire little confidence, and the decor does nothing to alleviate
those doubts. The space is split between a lounge
with deep couches, and a fully stocked but uninspiring
bar area whose design appears inspired
by a back-alley pool hall.
Stick to the sake or Japanese whiskey and pass on the cocktails.
The milky-green Grasshopper (a blend of creme
de menthe and creme de cacao) and dark pink
Lipstick are drinks you’d expect an unattended
teenager to come up with. And don’t even contemplate
going off-menu, as they're likely to struggle.
Despite obvious limitations, Doron is popular
with the Japanese crowd, and frequently booked
out.
