Le Petit Tonneau - French: Toranomon
[Open 11:30am-2:30, 6-10pm (LO). Closed Sundays.]
If you want to, you can think of Le Petit Tonneau as a wine bar. They serve more than twenty different wines by the glass and a few dozen more by the bottle, with Cotes du Rhone, Languedoc, Bordeaux and Bourgogne all well represented. The menu...
Craft Beer Market Toranomon - Beer bar: Toranomon
[Open 11:30am-2, 5-11:30pm. Closed weekends.]

Anpuku - Udon: Toranomon
[Open 11am-2:30, 5-10:30pm (LO) daily.]
Novel, fusion-style udon is the specialty here, but what first attracted our attention was the inviting little sake bar standing at the front of the shop. A couple dozen well-chosen craft sakes from around the country are served in taster-size 60ml...
Bono - Beer bar: Shimbashi
[Open 5-11pm (LO) daily.]
A tiny, half standing bar, Oyster Bar Bono is notable for their selection of eight Japanese craft beers on tap, priced at Y690 (+tax) for a medium-sized glass. The food menu is relatively inexpensive, and features small pizzas as well as oysters. ...
Brasserie Beer Blvd. - Beer bar: Shimbashi
[Open 5pm-midnight. Closed Sundays.]
A pleasantly appointed craft-beer venture from the former manager of the legendary Dry Dock bar, Beer Blvd includes a very casual standing area as well as tables. Six or seven taps dispense both US and Japanese craft beers, at Y1000-1200 per pint....
Shinshu Osake Mura - Sake bar: Shimbashi
[Open 11am-9:30pm (LO). Closed weekends.]
People don't come to Shinshu Osake Mura for the atmosphere, or the music (there isn't any). There aren't even any chairs. The reason to visit this hole-in-the-wall, standing-only sake bar, located on the ground floor of one of Shimbashi's most...
Vivo Daily Stand - Wine bar: Shimbashi
[Open 7am-midnight (Sat 2pm-). Closed Sundays.]
Wine by the glass and casual French snacks at very reasonable prices - most snacks are Y400, while wines are Y500-700 per glass.
Dry Dock - Beer bar: Shimbashi
[Open 5pm-12:30am. Closed Sundays.]
Perhaps this isn't the narrowest bar in Tokyo, but it's certainly the narrowest bar offering such an impressive class of craft beers, both domestic and imported. Cleverly, the tiny space is fashioned to resemble a yacht, with porthole windows and...

Shiodome

TwentyEight - Bar: Shiodome
[Open 9am-midnight daily.]
Located in the lobby of the Conrad Hotel, TwentyEight is an oasis of muted monochromes with discrete edges. Dusk is arguably the best time to visit; calm settles over the space as the sunlight fades and votive candles flicker to life. The scene...

Soul Bird - Beer bar: Hamamatsucho
[Open 11:30am-2:30, 5pm-midnight. Closed Sundays.]
This laid-back neighborhood craft-beer bar feels like a comfortable place to have an after-work party or just hang out. The soundtrack is an eclectic mix of soul music and Japanese rock and pop, and the interior has a rough-hewn, casual feel, with...
Franz Club - German: Hamamatsucho
[Open 11:30am-1:30, 4-10:30pm (LO). Open every day.]
A spacious bar serving meaty German fare and great beer. Four German brews from Spaten and Franziskaner are on draft (starting at Y600/glass) with several more by the bottle. The Y3500 prix-fixe menu consists of assorted German hams, sausages,...
Italiana Enoteca D'Oro - Italian: Hamamatsucho
[Open 11am-4, 5-10:30pm (LO; 3am Thu/Fri). Open every day.]
There's no need for an elaborate meal if you're not in the mood; here you can settle in with a simple pizza margherita, a sampling of their fifteen different hams and salamis, and a nice bottle or two of Italian wine. The cellar stocks around...
Agoo - Belgian rest/beer bar: Hamamatsucho
[Open 5pm-1am (2am Fri/Sat). Closed Sundays.]
The vibe at this small neighborhood bar is friendly and laid back - comfortable enough to stop in for a drink by yourself or for a quiet conversation with friends. There's a decent selection of Belgians at average-for-Tokyo prices, plus a small...
