NOW CLOSED Today a post about a bar I have been waiting to visit for a while. First of all, in the interests of full disclosure, I should say that I am friends with the owner who first contacted me through this blog. He has been wanting to open a bar in Tokyo for a…
It’s taken me a while to get here, but I finally did it. A few people had told me that this place was a lot more fun that the Beer Ma bar in Kita Senju. Depending on your point of view though, there are a few disadvantages, the most significant of which is the fact…
Whilst visiting the new Yokosuka Beer standing bar, it seemed like a good idea to pop into another place serving craft beer in the area. Nawlins has been open maybe a couple of years now but I haven’t managed to visit it till now. This is probably due to a combination of it not being…
This place has now closed Today, the first of a couple of places I visited in Fuchu. Beer House Ken has been on my radar for a while but I have never had the chance to visit until now. It’s another one of those beer shops where you can drink on site, which I…
Post by Iain This one man operation has six counter seats facing the street for people watching, plus ten table seats. There is a ¥200 cover charge and beer-wise, the selection is given as Wheat, IPA, Barley Wine, Extra, Edelpils, but in practice Wheat often translates as a pilsner, and Barley wine might be a…
[To see the other Sendai posts on this blog, click here] THIS PLACE IS NOW UNFORTUNATELY CLOSED Today, another place that we managed to visit on this year’s Sendai trip.

THIS PLACE HAS CLOSED DOWN Post by Mark (his first one, thanks Mark!) Beerpub Pacific NW is just south of Roppongidori, almost midway between Shibuya and Roppongi. I walked there in ten minutes from Omotesando station, so it perhaps should be considered one of the bars of Omotesando. The jazz clubs Blue Note and Body…
Finally, this is part three of my Chitosekarasuyama round up. Part one was Beertoria Miagolare and part two was Novel Craft. After I’d tried to visit Ann’s twice on a Wednesday, I discovered that their opening hours on their Facebook page were wrong and that I was not going to have much success going here…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Today the first of three Chitosekarasuyama places. We’re starting with the trickily named Beerttoria Miagolare and will follow up with Novel Craft and Ann’s. Seems like there is good potential for a pub crawl here! I have friends who visit these places quite often so I thought it was time…
UPDATE: The drinking part of this place is now closed. They apparently need the space for brewing purposes. If you want to try their beers the place to go is the nearby Jackson Hole Today a brief post on a brewery that has been open for a couple of years, but I’ve only just got…
