Best romantic bar?

OK, not exactly food. But what would you recommend as a quiet, romantic bar in Tokyo?

    I'd say Radio bar and Kita Aoyama Salon set a pretty romantic mood. Didn't Le Cocon close about 8 years ago, or am I thinking of a different place?

      If you want to impress a Japanese girl I would recommend the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt. Very early, or very late as they have quite annoying live music in between.

        Do they have a cover charge?

        ETA--I checked their website, and they do have a Y2000+ cover charge from 8pm.

          yes, it's a strange system: as soon as the (loud/noisy) "live music" ruins everything it also gets more expensive.

          other than that i think they dont charge that everyday. i remember being there late and not paying this charge.

          in the end, i think it's such an awesome location that 2000Y charge is fine, also if the OP wants to impress somebody than that might be 4000Y well invested ;-)

        Great suggestions so far.
        One more:
        Le CoCon (Shibuya) has cocoon-like booths for those seeking privacy.

          Den Aquaroom Aoyama has giant fishtanks and great cocktails.
          Aquavit Bar (Gaienmae) at the front of the restaurant is pretty nice and underutilized.
