Hachigatsu no Kujira - The Whales of August is a movie-themed cocktail bar located in a basement a short walk from the busy streets of Shibuya in Tokyo. Many cocktails on the menu are named after film titles, and if a title is not listed, staff will make a drink based on the film when asked. The walls are covered with movie posters, and a small cocktail book about films is sometimes handed out. Some staff respond bluntly when taking cocktail orders.
