Switchikura: CBD Whiskey Bar Closed for Renovations

CBD favorite Ichikura is currently closed for renovations. We stopped by earlier today and found the place a virtual building site despite a notice on the door suggesting the Japanese whiskey bar should be reopen again by now.

We received reports over the weekend that someone had attempted to stop by on Saturday night and discovered the place under construction. Our visit today confirmed as much with the space still very much under construction with little sign it will be ready any time soon. We attempted to contact management for some clarification on when it would reopen, but several calls went unanswered.

Still, we can take comfort in the fact that, despite seeming to be a little behind schedule, the place does seem set to open again before too long with the notice pinned to the door saying it would be open by mid-November. Third floor Lagoon remains open.
