Post by James If the name doesn’t give you enough of a clue, the photo probably will. This is a quirky but nice place. It has very much an American theme and as well as the Statue of Liberty outside there is a lot of Marvel and other American character paraphernalia and a couple of…

Smith (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Post by James Smith is a modern restaurant/bar. I went at lunch time and was given a lunch menu but no beer menu. The other customers were mainly ladies taking a break from shopping and a few couples. The only other customer on their own was a woman knitting (can’t say…
Square’s Cafe (NOW CLOSED)
NOW CLOSED IT SEEMS A quick post on a cafe in an area that is pretty empty on the tokyobeedrinker map at the moment. I was not aware of this place till Davido told me about it. Thanks a lot Davido for the many tips for new places you have given me. A short post…
Mikkeller Tokyo (CLOSED) New location coming soon hopefully
Finally getting round to writing about the new Mikkeller bar that has fairly recently opened here in Tokyo. This is certainly a place that is going to divide opinion for reasons that I will go into in due course. The bar opened with a free drink giveaway which unsurprisingly resulted in a huge queue and…
Kichijoji round up part 3: Beer Cafe Camiya (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 1 and part 2) – Fancy new place attached to what I think is a bakery about 10 minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle near…

iBrew Wired (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED, PERHAPS THE FIRST BAR VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS… Quick post on a new branch of iBrew, very close to the original iBrew. I’m pleased to see that they are branching out again after what happened to the iBrew in Shinbashi which turned into an oyster bar and therefore became pretty redundant…
Project (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED This is part two on Nishiogikubo. Part 1 is here. Pretty different to Beer Kobo and certainly seemed to attract a different crowd. Project is a pretty classy beer and dining place, much smaller than Beer Kobo and the other way from the station. The decor is very wooden again,…
Nishiogi Beer Kobo (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED This is part one on Nishiogikubo and a couple of places I visited last week. Thanks to Iain OBRF for showing me round. If you like records, you should check out his site here. Both have opened fairly recently so it seems that the trend for numerous new places continues….
