Many of Tokyo’s trendy craft beer bars have above-average prices for their tipples, but not Ibrew. You won’t find any surprising drinks at this down-to-earth standing bar in Yaesu - just inexpensive but delicious beers on tap.

You might miss Ibrew if you weren’t looking for it. It looks very much like any other ordinary drinking establishment in the neighborhood, with its dark wooden paneling and desultory beer crates outside during the day. But if you’re looking for craft beer without the premium prices common to many bars in town, Ibrew is the place to come to.

Ibrew has a reasonably good selection of Japanese craft beers on tap which change regularly - think familiar brands like Coedo or Fujizakura Kogen. The friendly staff and competitive prices keep the punters coming back, while the food is decent if on the greasy side.
If you’re looking to be surprised or wowed by rare beers, you’re out of luck here. But Ibrew is all about good times and cheap craft beers. Bring your friends or make some on a night out here.
