Bar / Restaurant Recommendation

Today, I am recommending Beer Saurus in Ikebukuro.

 


A short walk from the train station, Beer Saurus has a seemingly unlimited selection of excellent beers, both mass produced and micro brews.  We arrived for their 6 - 8 PM Happy Hour which gives 50% off all beers.


The drafts


I tried the Bear Republic Racer 5, the Left Coast Hop Juice Double IPA and the Green Flash Le Freak, all of which were excellent.

California brews available

You can see that the beers are a bit pricey at regular price, particularly the Stone Brewing Company selection.  Thus, the Happy Hour is key.



Food-wise, we had some delicious chicken wings, sauteed mushrooms in oil with bread, and spring rolls.  Outstanding flavor in all of them, and the wings are available in varying levels of heat.  We were pleased with the spicy and with the sweet thai chili variety.

All in all, an excellent venue for hanging out and enjoying quality brew and food.  The environment is chic/cool with lots of risque adverts for drinking to go along with some nudes in the bathroom.  The staff was attentive and friendly.  I'm giving it two thumbs up!
