About It's 5 O'clock Somewhere
It's 5 O'clock Somewhere is a premium-priced venue in Tokyo with a $$$$ price range and a smart casual dress code.
Worth it when the premium spend fits the occasion
The value case depends on whether a $$$$ Tokyo outing is what you want. This is not a budget pick, there is not enough detail here to justify the spend based on a specific drinks program, chef, cuisine, award record, or view. If you are choosing primarily by price, compare it with other options in 's Tokyo guide.
The key confirmed practical detail is the smart casual dress code. That makes the venue better suited to an intentional night out than to an ultra-casual stop. If the decision depends on specific drinks, food, seating, or hours, confirm those details directly before committing.
A premium Tokyo option with limited public detail

Bar context
How it compares with Tokyo peers
Choose It's 5 O'clock Somewhere when ease and Shibaura convenience matter more than a heavily signposted bar identity. Against Vue Mer and Hudson Lounge, it reads as the lower-friction option for a round before or after plans in Minato, while those peers are better fits when the room itself is meant to carry the evening.
Yoi to Yoi and Whisk are stronger cross-shops if the brief is a more focused drinks night rather than a convenient Shibaura stop. If the group wants a polished, occasion-leaning setting, compare with The Society before committing.
For value per round, the safer recommendation is conditional: pick It's 5 O'clock Somewhere when the address saves travel time or reservation stress. If the group is willing to travel across Tokyo for atmosphere or a more defined cocktail experience, start with Vue Mer, Whisk, or The Society instead.
