DevilCraft
DevilCraft has become the go-to place for Chicago-style deep dish pizza in Tokyo with quality ingredients and a fresh homemade style. The brewery has expanded to three locations, including the newest Gotanda branch. DevilCraft is a place to relax over a pint — especially during Happy Hour at Gotanda where you’ll receive a ¥100 discount off pints and half pints Tues – Fri (5pm – 6pm) and Sat & Sun (3pm – 6pm). Monday also sees Super Happy Hours (5pm – 7pm) where pints are ¥200 off and half pints are ¥100 yen off. With a selection of 20 taps of U.S. and Japanese craft beer — they even have 12 rotating taps of original, small-batch DevilCraft brews — a casual afternoon can quickly turn into a long night.

Dubliners’
Opened in 1995, Dubliners’ is a Tokyo institution. Since opening its doors in Shinjuku, Dubliners’ has established a chain of authentic Irish pubs around town, with locations in Shibuya, Shinagawa, Ikebukuro and Akasaka. There is no better place to gulp down a pint of Guinness than in an Irish pub, and in Tokyo, Dubliners’ is the best place to get the black stuff — Dubliners’ Shinjuku has clocked the highest annual Guinness sale in Japan, every year for the last 22 years. At happy hour, a pint of Guinness is ¥900 instead of the usual ¥1,100 (check online for times at individual branches). And once a month, Dubliners’ celebrates ¥500 pint days when pints of Kilkenny and Guinness are half off — the next one is on Wednesday, June 13. Add Dubliners’ on LINE and receive your first pint for ¥500.

PLUSTOKYO
The only thing that could beat a cold beer on a hot day is a cold beer over a hot summer barbecue — and PLUSTOKYO has the perfect rooftop for the occasion. The 180 sq. meter expanse of open lounge is filled with large, comfortable couches and DIY grills at your table. With the set barbecue course starting at ¥3,000 per person, you get over 300grams of meat to grill — top that off with ¥800 for a bottle of Heineiken and your summer is set. Sit back and let the cool evening breeze set your rhythm to the soundtrack of Tokyo’s only rooftop club with a DJ.
