Burger Mania Ebisu TL;DR
With tasty hamburgers and a wide range of beers, Burger Mania Ebisu could be a great place to sit and chat in a chilled atmosphere, but the prices are very expensive for beers that can be found for cheaper up in Shibuya. The non-smoking area means that you can enjoy the beers and food though without the threat of tobacco hanging over you.
Burger Mania Ebisu Full Read
A burger restaurant being reviewed on BeerTengoku?! What’s going to happen next – the local kaiten sushi place that a little elderly couple run? Well, we like craft beer and we like places that sell craft beer. Not one or two regular ones, but have a variety on tap, which Burger Mania Ebisu has. Oh, it also has very nice hamburgers too but that’s a byline under the review.
Burger Mania is a chain of hamburger restaurants open in Tokyo: Ebisu, Hiro-o, and Shirokane but they all offer the same menu besides a couple of limited edition burgers. Moreover, Burger Mania started selling domestic craft beer from early 2015 at all their locations. Burger Mania Ebisu is located on the east side of the JR / Tokyo Metro Hibya Line station and is easily found on the main road. It has seating both inside and an area open to the elements throughout the year, so you can watch the cars drive by while you sip on some beer.

I suspect the proprietors here took note of what the Kua’Aina hamburger chain was doing with serving Kona Brwg. Co.‘s craft beer.
It looks intriguing. I’ll add it to the long list for the next time I’m in Tokyo. If I can pull myself away from Ippudo ramen, which is also very close to here.
If you want to go where I think the venue has free wi-fi, backtrack up the avenue to The Footnik soccer bar @ 1-11-2 Ebisu. Its beers are merely average, but there’s no cover charge.
It’s not a craft beer bar by any means and expensive compared to the hub on the opposite side of the station.
I deduce it observed what is occurring with Kua’Aina burger shops serving craftbeer (e.g. Kona Brwg. Longboard Lager, et alia). I may go here. If I can pull myself away from Ippudo Ramen nearby.
If you do not have your own wi-fi network, stroll back up the avenue to Footnik – the soccer bar. One year when in Japan, I began filling out the postcards I was sending back to North America there. I had a sheet of pre-printed address labels. I stopped when on the last postcard, I couldn’t make out what I had scribed. The beers were not necessarily craftbeers, but they were satisfactory.
