Today, somewhere I have been a few times but always forgot to take a photo. My new tactic should be take the photos on the way in. That way they may be less blurred and I hopefully won’t forget to do it. However, when you are thirsty, this doesn’t always seem like a priority. This…
Ant n’ Bee is somewhere I have been meaning to go for a long time. Finally I made it there last week. It is a place that has been around for a while now, so is an elder statesman compared to many of the young upstarts that have recently enriched the beer scene here. On…
THIS BAR HAS MOVED TO A COMPLETELY NEW LOCATION. THE ADDRESS AND MAP BELOW ARE FOR THE NEW PLACE. I’LL UPDATE THE LISTING WHEN I MAKE IT THERE. Back onto more familiar Japanese beer territory with Towers, a pretty small standing bar near Toyko station. Towers is somewhere I always enjoy popping in to and…
Straying slightly of the Japanese beer track again today with what I think is the best of the Delirium/Belg Aube group of bars. However, they are all pretty good if you want to drink Belgian beer and certainly nicer than the Delirium Cafes in Belgium. Belgian beer was the beer that first got me drinking…
This place is now back open again, but I haven’t been there. New information is that the 5th floor has been refurbished and the kitchen is now gone. Food is ordered from a local restaurant or you can bring in your own. 6th floor is relatively unchanged. The old info is below still but I…
Lambic is not really in Tokyo so I am cheating a bit. But then again, I never said this would be exclusively Tokyo, and I think I have broken the Tokyo only thing a few times already. Lambic is the brewery tap for the Atsugi brewery, located in, surprise surprise, Atsugi. So, not in Tokyo,…
*A quick warning here. I haven’t been to Big Love in ages and yesterday heard that you can only drink there if you buy something in the shop, so I suspect they are moving away from being a beer place and focusing on the record shop part. Which makes sense… as it is a record…
March is Lucky 7 Stout month at Baird taprooms. Given that I am a sucker for a stamp rally I thought it was time to revisit the Nakameguro Baird and start getting my stamps. Details on Lucky 7 Stout month can be found here. If you get cracking straight away you might be able to…
This time, the Tokyo station area brewery tap for the Swan Lake brewery. Pub Edo is a pretty small place located in Yaesu, just East of Tokyo station. We went here for opening night a little under a year ago and it was unsurprisingly packed that day. 10 months later, it still seems to be…
Back again to Koenji, and this time to Bankan, a small bar on the other side of the train tracks to Bakushu Kobo. Bankan is a nice little bar/restaurant with seating for around 20, a few more seats at the bar and a few seats outside, which unsurprisingly were not that popular in February given…
