The Auditorium opened by Ueno Station on 1 November 2022 as a bar specialising in Japanese whisky, with more than 300 bottles alongside craft gin twists, signature cocktails inspired by well-known songs and Japanese craft beer. There are 26 seats, including 10 at a single-slab counter, plus a DJ booth, a room with a large projector, a 1974 Wurlitzer jukebox and about 3,000 records.
