Himitsu

About Himitsu

Getting in is the story here. The lounge connects to Umi, the Buckhead sushi restaurant, and runs as a speakeasy with a door that favors reservations and members. Inside it is dark and close, with clusters of red glass pendant lamps, low banquettes and a back bar lined with Japanese whisky such as Yamazaki 12. Guests praise inventive cocktails and a food list that goes well beyond bar snacks, from black cod and a lobster box to spicy tuna on crispy rice and signature rolls. It opens only Thursday to Saturday, from 8 p.m. until midnight or 1 a.m. Opinions split at the entrance: several recent reviewers describe security turning away larger groups even after they waited, so booking ahead and arriving as a small party is the safer plan. Once seated, staff get consistent credit for pacing the evening well, and the Google rating holds at 4.5 across 186 reviews.
