My new favorite place in Osaka. They increased the number of taps a couple years ago, and now they have the mosts in the city (eni-bru has more but is way down in Sakai). Nice bottle selection, heavy on Europeans and a few American. About 15-20 min walk to Umeda/JR, or 5 min to subway. No cover charge before 6:30pm, otherwise 300 yen per person (you do get a plate of nuts for that though). Good Japanese craft beer, plus a few foreign gems that rotate through. Got a pint that was a bit low (5cm of head), but they readily topped it up when asked. Prices are ballpark for Japanese craft. Food was decent (sausage platter good).

Great little bar worthy of a visit whenever in town. 13 taps of which 9 are designated as craft taps. Friendly service but very little English spoken (and tap list is in Japanese).Impressive list of just under 200 beers. Stung with a yen 300 cover charge upon leaving and this left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth (granted the surprise my fault given I can’t read Japanese) but the amount completely over the top for the privilege of just working through the door. Made enough of an impact to make me think twice about returning.

Thanks to KyotoLefty for taking me here! Nice little place with a solid selection of japanse micros on draught and mainly belgian and american beers on bottle. Service was good and friendly and the waiters seem to speak enough english so an non-japanse speaking customer won’t feel awkward. Prices are average for Japan with most beers costing 1000jpy for an american pint. Nice and relaxed vibe here. Glad i came!

What a great place. It was about a 5 minute walk from the station, and a bit out of the way. There is pretty much no way you’re ever going to stumble on this joint unless you know where you’re headed in advance. The bartender Kohei and the owner were both extremely friendly. For food we shared nachos and a pizza. Although that is pretty standard pub fare, it was not just thrown together. He took time and care to make the food and it turned out really great. We stayed late, and at the end of the night I saw him in the kitchen making his own bread dough from scratch. The beer was excellent. They have 16 taps and a good selection of bottles showcased in the open so you can look through them. Definitely my favorite beer spot in Kansai area so far.

Nice little place. Owners are friendly and tap and bottle selection is very good. Strange squat US pint glasses though. Took me forever to find it but when I did i ordered two pints of Shiga Kogen House IPA and the owner made me Okonomiyaki, even though it wasn’t on the menu. Worth checking out.

Bunch of bottles and plenty of taps here. A mix of Japanese and American brews on tap with a little bit of everything in bottles. Friendly staff that were also rather helpful. Not sure if it was jsut the night I was there, but plenty of ex-pats were drinking htere as well. My favorite bar in Osaka.

Small, cozy pub with tons of bottled beers and many beers on tap. You can always find many good Japanese micros from keg or cask, and they are always rotating. Usually a couple from Germany or America as well as Hoegaarden, Guinness, and Sapporo Edelpils. The master and his staff are great. They have good events, too. 5 minute walk from Yodoyabashi station on the Keihan or Subway Midosuji lines. A must stop in the Kansai area.
