About The Koji Club
Sake is the whole point here, and the staff treat newcomers and collectors alike: guests can sample several pours before committing to a glass, and servers match bottles to taste rather than steering toward the priciest option. The list rotates with the seasons and includes producers that are hard to find elsewhere in the city, with brewer visits from Japan adding occasional events. The room is compact, with a wood-clad bar, high stools and shelves of ceramics, plus a string-lit patio outside. Food is snack-scale Japanese comfort cooking: karaage over rice, smashed cucumbers, rice bowls and imported chips. Hours shift through the week, 5pm to 9pm on Tuesday, stretching to 11pm Thursday to Saturday, with early 2pm starts at the weekend and an 8pm close on Sunday. Google rates it 4.8 across about 150 reviews, and The Infatuation placed it fifth among Boston bars in 2026.
