Best places: Beer halls in Itabashi, Japan

👍👍 The Yanaka golden beer is easily one of the best craft beers I've tried anywhere in the world. The beer hall is a welcoming and warm, tiny, wooden bar with barrels of character. We stopped in on a chilly January day with our young son and were a little unsure as we speak minimal Japanese and didn't...

👍👍 Great atmosphere with friendly staff! They take their craft beer seriously but they also know how to have fun. Their beers are delicious, their side dishes as well. I ordered the cheese platter with crackers and prosciutto. The place is not that big but enough to accommodate groups. You can sit at...

😠 My friend and I ordered two “Wagyu” Curry Rice. As we took our first bite of the meat we immediately noticed that it wasn’t Wagyu, but instead it was some cheap chopped up slices of beef ribs. I am really disappoint with the owner and the staffs. They’re literarily lying to people’s faces saying tha...

😠 Walked in here at lunchtime looking for a quick drink and the waitress ran towards us aggressively yelling “no kids”. Totally understandable if kids aren’t allowed in some bars… it’s totally a non issue as we found somewhere else. However the waitress in question reacted as if she’d never seen a chi...

👍👍 What a great place. They just celebrated their 10th anniversary and you can easily see why they are still around. Packed every night. Great food, bustling atmosphere, and great beer at great prices. A must visit!

👍👍 Great selection of international craft beers in a cozy atmosphere. We visited for some casual drinks with a group of friends and enjoyed the selection of beers they had on tap with everything from stout to IPA styles. Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The beer was the bomb 🤙

Snug outpost with a diverse selection of global beers, as well as casual bites & English pub decor.

👍👍 Had bahn mi for lunch. Great atmosphere and speedy service. You should try their chicken rice, very good! They have another branch at koenji but this has a better ambience :)

👍👍 麦酒の概念が変わります! １つのビールの入れ方によってあんなにも味、見た目が変わる所がとても面白いです。 そのビールを引き立ててくれる厳選したおつまみもサイコー。相乗効果で、口が忙しくなります。 椅子がない所もあるので、サクッと長居せず飲める場所でもあります。 2部制になっている様です。 予約をしていく方...

Cool, subterranean bar & kitchen serving Western comfort food with a local twist, plus craft brews.

👍👍 Incredibly cozy. Incredibly beer driven pub you never imagined to encounter in Itabashi and its vicinity. Though I did not try all of the beer here, still the beers here are excellent and you will have unforgettable memory here in Tokyo Aleworks.

👍👍 A very nice small brewery in the basement of the office building. I highly recommend it.

🫤 Looks good, feels comfortable, but they don't address the cover charge of 500 yen per person (excluding tax) which you need to pay no matter what and the prices in the beer menu are also excluding tax. Beer glass sizes are tiny. Don't recommend unless you don't care about money and even then there a...

👍👍 We had a really good time eating here last night. We are pretty late (around 22:00) so most other people were just there having drinks. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was pretty good. The drinks were a little on the expensive side (a pint cost between ¥860 and ¥1100). The fish and chips were...

🫤 Used to go here all the time... but since the rise in price and reduction in glass sizes, I’d probably go for another place in nakano. Beers are tasty but you’ll pay up to nearly 1400 yen for about 300ml of an IPA. That’s considerably more than the 500 yen for all beers and drinks they used to charg...

👍👍 Authentic pub, where you could easily overlook because of its heavy foot traffic location. Once you are inside, you’ll settle in a cozy warm light and wide selection of savory beers and drinks. I had three pints. Couldn’t resist.

👍 We heard from some dude that the girls more likely to take a non Japanese boy home were in the upstairs smoking bar. So bring a lighter and go up stairs.

Domestic craft beers on draft, served with Jamaican food & music in an easy-going atmosphere.

👍👍 Wheelchair accessible review. The staff absolutely saved. My wheelchair battery was about to run out and they let me charge it while eating. It's going to close in 45minutes and we were able to order light food. Potato salad and chips with beer and shandy. I recommend this place to everyone. No acce...
