Pub entertainment in Tokyo

  1. A

    What the Dickens

    What the Dickens occupies the 4th floor of the Roob building, whose outstanding facade looks as if it’s finished with a layer of mud and adorned with the mirrored replica of a hummingbird. The beer and pub grub are up to snuff, and good live music and the occasional poetry reading keep things rolling.

  2. Hash House Harriers

    Formed in 1938, this worldwide club's activities are a mix of mad dashing and serious drinking done by cheeky joggers with sobriquets such as 'Sakura Sucker'. Several planned runs meander through a variety of routes each week. Bring your best drinking shoes.

    Hobgoblin

    Far better than your average Brit-pub replica, Akasaka’s Hobgoblin is supported by an Oxfordshire brewery. It serves good pub fare with excellent microbrews such as Hobgoblin Dark. Two huge plasma screens show rugby and football.

    Hub Pub

    A generally English ambience, pub food and a decent selection of beers attract a mixed crowd of 20-somethings, especially on weekends. The Hub has branches all over the city, though this is probably the most comfortable of the lot.

    Dubliners

    Live music and good beer have made this one of the city’s most frequented international watering holes. Pub grub includes a few Irish standards in portions that are larger than normal for Tokyo.
