Craft Beer Places in and around Tokyo
A work in progress: new craft beer establishments in the Kanto area are constantly opening, so if you know of a place you think I ought to put on the list, let me know! Also listed are more mainstream beer gardens, as well as British, Irish, Belgian, German etc. pubs.
Locations:
Venues are listed by ward or city followed by the nearest train station(s) in [brackets], but be aware: the location may be in Shibuya-ku but the closest station could be in Shinjuku-ku. Click on the link provided, or check your favorite Maps app!
Asterisks:
(*) have Nothing on tap. This includes bottle shops, beer stores, and other places that sell bottles & cans, but don't expect anything poured from a keg.
(**) have SOMEthing on tap -- maybe three, maybe two, maybe only one! This place may serve cans/bottle selections, but do have a limited selection from a keg.
Looking for a place Less Crafty?
Long before the craft beer boom, Irish & British pubs serving Guinness and Kilkenny were the place for expats to find a taste of home. And other locales around the city just might suit the bill!
