B-SIDE

AS OF 26/08/2025, B-SIDE HAS CLOSED

B-SIDE is the ‘little sister’ venue of YOKO Dining, inspired by Tokyo’s back-alley Record Bar Izakayas and located on the upper level of Howard Smith Wharves' popular Japanese restaurant.

More than a dining experience, B-SIDE is a celebration of great music, great food, and even better vibes - the ultimate go-to for a drink and bite before a night out, or the perfect after-work hideaway. 

The menu includes carefully curated dishes reminiscent of the culinary gems found beneath Tokyo train stations. Guests can enjoy seasonal sashimi sliced to order, seafood plates including kizami wasabi octopus and tuna tataki, as well as wagyu katsu sliders.

Must-try are the delectable B-Side prawn buns and there's also a take on the classic Japanese potato salad, two hearty bowls of ramen to choose from, and a delicious miso caramel soft serve to finish.

The drinks menu is equally impressive, crafted by renowned drinks aficionado Matt Whiley. Sip on highballs, let the slushies flow, try a riff on a classic, and make B-SIDE the spot to loosen up, order another round, and fully immerse in the fun. 

DJ’s will spin every night, ensuring the party atmosphere is as irresistible as the menu. The concept is simple: turn up the volume, add another dish or drink to the mix, and let loose.

Whether you're ordering the entire menu or just slurping down a slushie (or two), B-SIDE is where the good times roll!
