Bakushu Club Popeye in Ryogoku, Tokyo
Bakushu Club Popeye The Bottom Line If you’re looking for the most variety of beer in a bar then with Bakushu Club Popeye it’s the one and only place that you should look at, with its 70+ taps of craft beer.

DevilCraft Gotanda in Gotanda, Tokyo
DevilCraft Gotanda The Bottom Line If you’ve been to either the Kanda branch or Hamamatsucho branch of DevilCraft, then you know what you’re getting – a great selection of craft beer with very tasty food at usual Tokyo prices. The interior of this branch follows the others and with anywhere between ten to twenty taps of craft beer, there is …
Craft Beer Kitchen Jiyugaoka in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo
Craft Beer Kitchen Jiyugaoka One Paragraph Review If you want some cheap midday beers and only if you’re in the area, Craft Beer Kitchen Jiyugaoka is a reasonable choice, though make sure you’ve eaten beforehand.

Wiz Craft Beer and Food in Awajicho, Tokyo
Wiz Craft Beer and Food opened in July 2015 and is a place I’ve been meaning to visit for a while now, but a trip to the UK and sick kids meant that it wasn’t possible until one bright, sunny Saturday in September.

Devilcraft Kanda in Kanda, Tokyo
This review of Devilcraft Kanda has been a long time coming – not because I’m lazy or anything like that but that’s it always booked out whenever I want to go.
