Bar Beer Kanda (formerly Beer Animal)

No Longer In Business

Tiny BBQ joint located in central Kanda, basically it is the spinoff of the former Brimmer Beer Box and Magical Animal. 6 beers on tap, fairly unexciting selection of average year-round Japanese micros, still pretty good value at 500 yen a glass. Food menu is obviously meat-focused with pulled pork and burger the most popular options. Pretty tasty stuff even though portions are not too impressive. Now here is the major downside: the place/kitchen is simply tiny, even by Japanese or Pygmy standard. Basically, as soon as a dozen people show up, be ready to wait for your food order for up to an hour, standing in a corner smelling BBQ pork all over... Staff was friendly and apologetic but wouldn’t recommended it unless they find a way to adjust the pace.
