Brew Dog Roppongi

Brew dog! We made it a must on our list as my boyfriend and I are both big fans. The place has all the usual Brew Dog beers on tap, plus some of the special ones (as well as the really strong ones… like Tactical Nuclear Penguin).
Food items are mostly standard pub fare and bar food. Everyone speaks English, and there’s loads of foreigner customers (including us). It can be a bit pricey, but it’s good stuff!

Brew Dog is a great craft beer place located on the back streets of Roppongi, about a 1 min walk from Hard Rock Café.
Pretty sweet atmosphere and heard that the beer is great. Fish & Chips were alright, but had tons of volume. Wasn’t too crowded on a Sunday night.

I love this place! There were several options but I come here specifically for one… Hardcore IPA.
Nice atmosphere.
The bartenders were super!
And they have board games! FUN!!!

This is a very nice atmosphere. Staff is Great! If you claim to be a craft beer drinker then you haven’t tried Brew Dog. Because it seriously requires an acquired taste. But stroll by and have a round you’ll still be happy you did.

I am a big Brewdog fan. I know they are mass market now and sort of losing their «craft» reputation, but they still are different from the rest and do a great product so I am still pro punk.
When in Tokyo we decided to hunt out their bar to compare it to our Local Glasgow one. I have to say they have done a good job of getting there theme and message to their Tokyo location. I defo felt like I was in Brewdog location. All the brewdog beers were there and so were plenty of guest beers. There was the wooden tables, stone walls and even a Scottish barmaid.
I had a pint of punk which being tasted a bit «off» (not sure why TBH) so was slightly disappointing. On the food front I had a burger which was lovely with chips on the side. Well not chips, 5 fat wedges, which were rubbish. So on eating and drinking side I was not blown away. Bar location is in Roppogni which is not my favourite area. It’s the only area in Tokyo which I felt seemed dodgy in any way.
Brewdog is five stars for me, but my experience at this location on the occasion I went was only 3 stars I’m afraid.

Its just ok. The tell me their most popular beer is the Punk IPA. I tried it and was underwhelmed. So I also tried a few others –meh. I mean, if you’ve been living on Japanese pilsners for a while the Brew Dog IPAs will at least give you a bit of variety, but there’s better beer to be had. I also had the burger — again, for the price you can find better burgers in the area. Especially for 1200 yen. this place can also be super loud, to the point where conversations are tough.

I’m so jealous that both Stockholm and Tokyo have a BrewDog! I love their beer and get it anywhere I can find it in SF. Unfortunately, we only have a few varieties here. At the pub in Tokyo, you’ll have plenty to choose from and can easily spend a lot of time and money there. But you’ll do so happily.
Also, both bartenders were super nice and knew a lot of English. The latter isn’t a requisite of mine by any means but it’s nice once in a while to be able to have more of a conversation.

BrewDog was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I felt it was the most western place we went to while in Tokyo and I almost feel a little bit bad for loving it as much as I did.
BrewDog has a nice variety of beer, which was a breath of fresh air for me. We didn’t go out to many bars while I was visiting, but I was disappointed with Kirin, Sapporo, and Asahi being my only choices at every restaurant we went to. Don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoy all three of those Japanese beers quite a bit, but sometimes you want to mix it up, you know?
I had a «This. Is. Lager» and a Hardcore IPA and some fish and chips. It was all excellent. I didn’t love the Hardcore IPA as much as the lager, which is consistent with my normal preferences, but it was still enjoyable.
The fish and chips were of exceptional presentation and quality. The fish was flaky and soft, and the chips (potato wedges) were seasoned perfectly. Also, they supply some mixed nuts in the style of British pubs at each table, which I thought was a nice addition to the experience.
Extra points for our «hafu» waitress, who was attentive, friendly, and helpful.

Another great craft beer spot in Roppongi!
This was my 2^nd stop out of 4 pubs in our unofficial Daytime craft beer crawl in Roppongi. After having an IPA at the Hobgoblin, we «Yelped» craft beer and found this place. Two Dogs was closer but wasn’t open. BrewDog is a nice 5 mins away from Roppongi Hibiya line station. Also a stone throw away from the Hard Rock Café.
A nice beer drinking environment. Decent sized dinning/​drinking area. The high tables & bar stool area seats 18. Good for groups. The dinning area another 24. Music not too loud. A good mix of locals and foreigners here. Our server, from Scotland, knew the beers on tap and was very helpful.
The beer: I enjoyed the IPA is dead Kohatu. A great tasting IPA but with a sweet tasting note towards the end. The price… We’re in Roppongi so be prepared to spend a pretty penny or ¥1,400. If the beer is great, buy it. That was the case. My friends enjoyed their Libertine Black Ale and Punk IPA as well.
Bookmarked and will be back for more!

After walking the streets of Roppongi and avoiding the aggressive Africans, we landed at Brew Dog… a welcoming Western style bar. We enjoyed trying a wide selection of beers and didn’t mind paying a little higher price for the experience. Try the Libertine Black Ale and the Roppongi Pilot 01… solid options.

there are lots of craft beer spots in tokyo now and it’s hard to stand out. this place does — the beers here have a pleasantly unique taste (many of the US craft beers taste similar to me…) and the vibe is pretty mellow/​friendly/​cool as well. the Punk IPA is the clear flagship beer, but there’s a number of other solid brews here as well (fake lager, white IPA, etc.)
