NOW CLOSED. THE DEMOLITION DATE GOT MOVED FORWARD. NEW BAR EXPECTED FAIRLY SOON APPARENTLY. A quick post on the new Mikkeller Spring pop-up bar that opened on Saturday in Nakameguro. A quick post as it may not be open very long, but it is definitely worth a visit. In fact, it might be one of…
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 4) Barchetta is an Italian restaurant chain that just happens to have decent Japanese craft beer. They used to have a…
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 3 and part 4) The Lower Right was pretty different from On The Table. It’s in the basement under a Hub pub and is…

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…

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…
