At the three locations of Budweiser Carnival (1-16-3 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku; plus locations in Shimbashi and Kannai; www.kitanokazoku.jp/budweiser) get frothing American lager served up to you by niftily-dressed Bud-girls to get the thirst burning a hole in your throat. The menu also offers some Yankee snacks to put some iron in your bloodflow, such as grilled chicken (¥680), pork ribs (¥1,280), and more. Beerwise you can get lager, stout, and half-and-half, plus plenty of other glass-fulls, and you can buy a range of drinks for just ¥315 on weekdays between 4-6:30pm. Keep an eye out for news of their monthly DJ bash at the Shinjuku branch.
