Nice interior with plenty of Japanese artwork. Came here for lunch with wife and kid. Delicious foie gras and eel sushi to start. Had a fine nest beer lager. Had the fried fish and chicken teriyaki bento box...very good. Wife similarly said her version of the bento box was good. Son said the chicken katsu he had was nicely done. Friendly service. Very affordable. Go there if you are in Dublin and are in the mood for Japanese. read more

One of the 3 "sister" restaurants of Yamaori, I consider Izakaya that cool and fun sister that's a bit high maintenance... but I don't mind. This sake bar that offers a variety of tapas (aka "Japas") were fantastic and broke my lowered expectations with getting Japanese cuisine in Ireland. The service was friendly and were able to answer all my inquiries, the food came out in a timely fashion, and the atmosphere was warm and sparks curiously despite being dark. I had so much enjoyment eating here I lost track of time and how much I spent... I'm still glad to have gone in blind! Blue Fin Tuna- it's like a tender fish steak; so delicious and I didn't even want to contaminate the meat with soy or wasabi. Crab Bao- I don't even like soft shelled crab, but it's preparation along with that guacamole made this a killer combo that I probably won't have the chance to try again. Mini Dim Sum (Shumai)- Homemade and DESTROYS all the crap I've had back come. LOVED the Salmon filled one in the center! Duck Soba- plenty of fatty duck in these noodles and that hearty broth really warmed me up. There was plenty to fill the bowl and drink on the side as a pick-me-up. Banoffee Pie- What? They have a pastry chef locked up in the basemen making your desserts? Sign me up to try! This slice of banana and toffee pie was rich and chewy, with a crispy crumbling crust. A great way to end my meal. read more

went here yesterday; the restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and the food is really good (i ordered the okonomiyaki) but the server put my order in wrong and it took almost 30 minutes to correct it, not counting the 20 min to initially serve the wrong order. she also didn't check in on us very much, so -2 for service. otherwise, a great place for some delicious food! read more

Vibing place to have sushi in Ireland. The staff was very nice and the ambiance was cool. Our food was good too and the bar was awesome to eat dinner at with my wife. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt like they were a little over priced. read more

I will always say yes to Izakaya! We tried a variety of their small plates and also some of the hand rolls which were delicious. The tempura items had a light batter and were fried to a golden crisp. This is a great spot for a hip/trendy night out with friends. read more

Japanese was not my first choice for a dining experience in Dublin since I come from San Francisco where Japanese restaurants are beyond commonplace. However, Jamie W. and I were a tad sauced from having a couple of pints of Guinness at The George across the street, and well, the sight of red paper lanterns made me think a taste of the motherland by way of the South Inner City might do the trick before strolling the adjacent Temple Bar district. It turned out to be a spacious spot where the young Japanese host took us to our table for two where we perused the robust menu of items they call "japas", a bar-bite translation of Japanese izakaya-style tapas. "Japas" just sounds so not right like a mean racist epithet. Anyhow, we thought small plates fit the bill since it was just a few hours earlier that we had big burgers at Bunsen. Jamie started with his favorite, the €8 Chicken Katsu, which amounted to a pair of pounded and breaded chicken breasts fit onto skewers with asparagus spears and drizzled with a sweet barbecue sauce and mustard (photo: http://bit.ly/2eyjqu1). Not sure what the point of the skewers were, but the chicken was certainly tender enough with enough crisp to the coating. I had a hankering for the €8 Yakitori since I'm a thigh person, and it didn't disappoint with succulent, char-grilled pieces skewered with spring onions and lacquered in their yakitori sauce (photo: http://bit.ly/2e1eV9a). Interestingly, our salads came afterward with Jamie ordering the simple and refreshing €3.50 Seaweed Salad (photo: http://bit.ly/2eHWwPO), while I went full gonzo and had the €8 Sashimi Salad with chunks of fresh salmon, tuna, and sea bass in a bowl of mixed greens with a wasabi and truffle oil-based dressing and topped with masago and radishes (photo: http://bit.ly/2eHr6Yj). It was not quite the chirashi bowl I was seeking out, but it was tasty nonetheless. Our final course was the Rainbow Roll, which we initially balked at since it had the whopping price of €18.95. When it finally arrived, we saw why...it was almost ridiculously ginormous like a naked sushi burrito (photo: http://bit.ly/2f64HIq). It was good but I have to say excessive with the rice dominating the fish. We indeed left with full stomachs. FOOD - 4 stars...not quite authentic but still satisfying for heartier appetites if that's how you like your, uh...japas AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...creative use of steam and fish baskets as light fixtures with a heavy dose of vintage commercial art, a big space SERVICE - 3 stars...on the quiet side, not that informative TOTAL - 4 stars...the food mostly works even if hipsters and clueless tourists appear to be the target here read more

Wouldnt really recomend this place. You will pay double for what you get! Sushi was much bigger about 6 month ago and prices cheaper. Staff is really good, friendly and nice! I dont remember exact prices but it was something like that: Sushi small 8 pieces - 9.00€ -9.75 € Sushi big 8 pieces - 19.00€ - 19.95€ Salads (tapas portion) - 8.00€ - 9.00€ Sashimi 4 pieces ( not 6 like usual sushi place) Yasai tempura- was okay (fresh) Yasai Gyoza nice- sause is okay. Total bill for 3 small dishes ( small sushi, yasai gyoza and yasai tempura) was 28€ I definately wont come back :( read more

Vegetarian Options: During our week long trip to Ireland, we were desperately craving some food with flavor. This place delivered. They don't have that many vegetarian options, but the ones they do have were pretty good. The gyoza were delicious. The Yasai Soba was pretty good, but we were definitely looking for some more spice. I won't fault the restaurant for that though, we couldn't find much spice anywhere during our trip. If you are looking for a break from pub food, this is a great option. Drinks: The sake menu is extensive. We tried quite a few and loved all of them. We had come for lunch, but if I am ever back in Dublin then I will definitely come back during happy hour. read more

Izakaya is currently slightly shut down due a fire.* As Joni Mitchell was wont to sing, you don't know what you've got til it's gone. I miss Izakaya already. Izakaya is a bar which does japanese stuff. They have Kirin and Nipponia on tap, and some other japanese stuff bottled. Great stuff. They serve saké (generally quite good), though the last time I attended they wouldn't serve it heated for safety reasons. I gave them short shrift for it at the time, but given that the place has now erupted in flames, I suppose we'll let them away with that.** They serve japanese food too. I've always enjoyed it, though it's nothing special. I would not go to Izakaya for food. *** On a non-japanese theme, they serve excellent cocktails. The barmen are competent, their liquors are class (Kraken dark rum, for example), and they're quuiiitte strong.**** Finally, for those of you wondering why I like this place so much as to give it 5 stars, they have generally top notch DJs playing behind the bar (cool) and they're open til 3 every night of the week! ---- * i.e. completely shut down due to a fire ** As in, we would if it were still open. *** Their salmon seems to have been well smoked though. (har har) **** After 2 cocktails here (and a number of beers), I got so drunk as to fall asleep in the middle of a very loud gig afterwards. read more

Yamamori - Sake bottles with little scarves to keep them warm, cute - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

Have now been for the food, and it was delish. I had the tempura prawns - perfectly cooked and delicious with a perfectly spicy mayonnaise, and pumpkin korokke - pumpkin croquettes with a kind of barbeque sauce. Cos it's pumpkin it must be healthy, right?!! Immensely lovely! Again, shall be back! (Friend had the seared pork belly which also looked amazing) read more

I don't crave ramen for like a month...and then as soon as I get to Dublin that's all I want to eat. Wtf. Welp. Options are limited to say the least. A coworker recommend this place and I decided that my last meal in Ireland was going to be here. I was not disappointed!! Great drinks, great noodles, and great sushi. Notice I said noodles, not ramen, haha. I got the Yamamori Ramen. If I had to rate it as ramen...probably 2.5/5. The broth was not rich and the toppings were all over the place. But for a noodle soup dish, it was amazing!! Plenty of noodles, hella toppings, and a very light clear broth. Definitely closer to Chinese noodle soup than to ramen. Also ordered scallop and tuna nigiri. The fish was very fresh! Only complaint is that they use way too much rice. Almost double than what I'm used to. Drinks here were pretty good as well. I ordered the gin and tonic with elderflower (special that day) and it was delicious! Could barely taste the alcohol lol. Prices here are definitely on the higher side, especially for ramen. 18 euros for ramen...ehhhh. But if you're looking for Asian comfort food this is your spot! And the sushi here isn't bad either. Overall, not a bad last meal in Dublin! read more

I'm not completely going to eat my words about not liking Japanese food, but I'm definitely impressed by the Izakaya. We sat downstairs and went for the Japas, 5 for 35, sharing between 2 people, which was more than enough. We went for the Squid Tempura, duck pancakes, white fish, Ebi Gyoza, Sashimi Salad. I had never tried sushi (what?) so I was intriugued by the sashimi salad which has raw salmon, tuna and sea bass. My first bite was the salmon I'm sure, which is a fish that I love. I got a good mouthful of everything on the plate and it was actually surprisingly nice! Then I went for a second bite and it was WAY too fishy and overwhelming. I'm guessing it was the sea bass. So all in all I can't say if I like it or not...I might need another go. Everything else was totally delicious. The calamari were perfectly cooked and the texture was perfect. The white fish and veg was so fresh and flavoursome, and the dip that came with (sort of black bean thing?) was unreal, and went with everything on the table. I don't normally like prawns, but the Ebi Gyoza was one of my favourite things I tried! It didn't have that crunchy texture of regular prawns, and the flavours were just delicious. The duck pancakes as many have said were just delicious. I also tried the sweet potato wedges which were incredible, but I didn't like the dip. I tried the chicken wings which were unremarkable but you're not going to a place like this for the wings. The service was fantastic and they were able to take orders at different times and keep track of everything-- everything came out correct too which was brilliant. I'll be back! read more

Yamamori - By far the best cocktail menu in Dublin, in my opinion. - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

SUGOOOOIIIII! I love this place with my mouth, my stomach and all my heart. It's the kind of place where dishes keep coming, even though you don't have a free square centimetre on the table. You're inbetween a Miyazaki movie and a Rabelais novel, swimming in a tsunami of succulent dishes flowing endlessly. It's always a risky bet for restaurants do try themselves on fusion food, and, let's face it, it's usually a disaster. Yamamori Izakaya totally succeeds on this difficult challenge with their Japas (Japanese tapas): for 35 euros, you can pick 5 japas from their long menu (usually just the right amount of food for 2 people). My favorites? - the Izakaya burger. Yes, my mind got blown by a burger in a Japanese place, but trust me: it's really, really good - nice juicy beef patty, cucumber dressing, homemade bun. 5/5! - the duck pancakes are one of the best I ate. Your tastebuds are instantly sent to Beijing with this one - the dim sum and gyoza are very good, especially the pork one - Venison Yaki Niku - deliiiish small venison teriyaki steaks on crispy lettuce - Sashimi salads - prepared under your eyes, what else? ... and much more. Just pick your favorites and get ready for a culinary trip around Asia. In addition, the place is really atmospheric (I mean, a Japanese vintage poster of Star Wars, what else do you want?) including really cool open kitchens where you can see your food being prepared, vintage decoration (well done on the celling light made in dim sum wooden boxes) and crowded tables. Sneak in their bar downstairs where you can sip a great selection of whiskys or order a nice cocktail. Missing this gem should be punished by seppuku - just try it! read more

Yamamori - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

Dined here last Sunday night looking for somewhere serving late eats after the football final. This popped up as an option with kitchen open until 1130pm. The entrance took us down dark stairs light by red neon lights and into what seemed more like a bar. There was another eating area that had closed earlier and it seemed we had just managed to make in and chat to a waiter before the chef checked our for the night. It was 1110pm... We guess that's OK! However all sushi was off the menu, this wasn't a put off but some of the party had to reassess their options. The menu consisted of lots of small plates so as a group we ordered one main each and a few extra sides. Our cocktails came first... I got a lychee something or other and it was deeevviine! Some of the food selection included beef cheek curry with black rice, chicken wings, seaweed salad, calamari...all these except the calamari which was were delish!! I really enjoyed my meal and would love to go back! read more

Go with the black rice - it's amazing! The Dragon Roll is huge. Easily enough to be a satisfying meal on its own. The Tuna Tataki salad was reasonably sized and also really good. The dressing (ginger?) was tasty - my only complaint might be that there was a bit too much dressing for my taste. The servers were pleasant and prompt. Prices were on the high side, but I'd expect that for sushi in Dublin. read more

Yamamori - Rainbow roll with black rice - so good! - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

I only got into Yamamori once because I was just passing through Dublin but it's definitely worthy of a review. After all, as I was starting to crave some more legit Japanese food halfway through my trip the sign proclaiming "IZAKAYA" really jumped out at me. So this is a Westerner take on the Japanese izakaya. It's certainly got it's own hint of Dublin charm that makes it fit the city while being equal parts Japanese and fusion. In fact, I find that the best way to really experience a foreign country's culinary prowess is by seeing how they fuse. The neatest thing about this place is the additional bar downstairs. Definitely a combination of Dublin's drinking culture with Japan's. Add to it the projector and screen down there showing some old black and white (probably Akira Kurosawa) films. For our part, we sat upstairs in the main restaurant. We kinda got crowded into a pretty full section but it turned out okay when our fellow diners made conversation with us. This was the first restaurant I've found to offer Hitachi no Nest beer on their menu so of course I jumped on that. (I know, it's probably more common around here.) Craving curry, we ordered a plate to share along with some thickly sliced sweet potato fries. Yes, sweet potato fries at a Japanese restaurant. But arguably the perfect item for an izakaya. The curry was a surprise. The good kind. The rice was a mix of different types of browns and made for a combination I'm totally not used to in my curry. Service was great. It's quite different from the US so don't get too uppity if you're a foreigner here expecting it fast without asking. In Dublin, you request the check. read more

Nice food. Great drinks. Great Atmosphere. Utterly Haphazard Service. When you can grab them they're marvelous but good luck with that. And good luck finding out when food is on till. I'm a frequent traveler to Dublin as I find it extremely relaxing. I'd eaten at 2 other Yamamori eateries so I was quite excited to try out the pub vibe. So I go on the website and it talks enthusiastically about being open late, but never says HOW late (I.e when do the kitchen and bar close respectively) So I show up at 11, just about 3 hours before posted closing only to be told it's just the late night menu of fried bites. OK I can work with that. Then I can't seem to catch anyone's eye for about 10 minutes so I decide to sit my crippled ass down. After another few minutes I mange to catch the waitress's eye and put in an order for a cocktail and a couple small plates. Then I remember what the waitress told me about them closing table service soon so I go to order some gyoza to fill in the gaps in my tummy, ONLY FOR HER TO DISAPPEAR FOR AN ETERNITY Eventually one of the barmen starts filling in and I get a bit of sake from him, but my gyoza don't make it on the order. Hell the only reason I didn't leave starving was I saw the righting on the wall and double ordered. When a restaurant makes you paranoid that's no good. read more

Japas Japas Japas! What's not to love! I returned here recently for some Sunday night Nibbles, and as ever I was stunned that such good food was available so reasonably in Dublin City Centre, I was there with my other half and between us we wolfed down: - Tempura Vegetables, very very tasty! - Beef Tartare Style dish that was so so good! - Pumpkin Croquettes - surprisingly tasty! - Sashimi Salad - Again very tasty! - Duck Pancakes - Perhaps the tastiest I've had - Sweet Potato Wedges that are so much nicer here than anywhere else! This was all washed down with a Japanese Ale and left us both feeling as heavy as our wallets which has a nice amount left in them after we filled our boots on reasonable quit free delicious food read more

Five minutes later we were told that the mains that the girls had ordered, beef, had run out. We left, disappointed. read more

Ambience. B Service. B Food A Price. A Found on Georges street. There are 2 Yamamori restaurants, but this was has a sushi bar you can sit and sit at the sushi bar. Sit at the bar if it gets crowded for a table. Everyone I dealt with the was friendly. The sushi is not that adventurous. No salmon egg roes or sea urchin. But they have the mainstream of white Fah , salmon, tuna, octopus and few others. I ordered the €35 - 5 dish selections. A good deal to share and try different items. Everything I ordered was cooked and prepared to perfection. Sashimi salad had fresh bites of raw fish below the salad. I requested some wasabi on the side to give some zing to this dish. Pumpkin croquettes were Nicely fried and hot. Love dipping in a sweet hoisin sauce. Shrimp gyoza last were Nicky minced shrimp and spices wrapped in delicate dough and steamed perfectly Pan fried. Calamari rings were nice size and perfectly fried with the tempura batter. Kimchee pork belly was recommended tender and Nicely flavored. Duck confit had some lovely five spice lightly rubbed into crispy skin and the meat was moist with each bite. Tako Yaki. Special pan cooked octopus balls street food was nice and moist batter with tender pieces of octopus inside. Braised pork ribs were nicely spiced and tender on the bone. Karaage- fried chicken tenders with sweet sour sauce and veggies. Nicely cooked and great flavors! Everything I experienced was cooked and prepared perfectly. I do recommend requesting server to space out when to bring out certain plates until you've finished certain courses. However, take what you can get when it's busy! I'm a fan and definitely coming my back. read more

what im gonna tell you could sound weird.. Izakaya (and all the yamamori) serves the best banoffie pie in Dublin! Ok, of course they are great at sushi (i love the Dragon Norimaki above all) but their banoffie is something really to die for. I would recommend edamame beans and beer to start, one of their Norimaki Special and the banoffie to end with a bang! Ah, I didnt mention.. Great interiors to create a traditional atmosphere and very friendly and cool service! read more

My friend and I were looking for a place to listen to music and drink on a Sunday night and Izakaya ended up being our spot! We were referred here by a gentleman at another bar and we were wary, unsure of what to expect on a Sunday night in the city. This place was pretty low-key, having a basement "club-like" area with a bar and deep house music. The people down there were very nice and chatty, keeping us there for over an hour with great conversation. Everyone seemed to know each other and it made for a great experience, even if we weren't house music fans. read more

Great location in the middle of Dublin. Vibrant restaurants and pubs around. But sushi as such not convincing. I seat just by the bar and watched how food is prepared. There is no passion to processing food here and the flavour feels on the low end. With surprise I have watched chef repackaging fish and drying it out. Then packing again. For the price paid my expectation was to see fresh food here. I will try other places next time. Not returning any time soon. read more

Yamamori - Sushi needs passion. Is there passion in this place? Ready to be surprised when testing soon. - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

I had my heart set on a Bunsen burger that night when my man suggested to get some Jappas. Say what? Jappas. Jappas, you say? Is that a thing? Yes, that's a thing: Japanese tapas in Yamamori Izakaya. I'd never been to Izakaya which now strickes me as strange since I'm a regular in both Yamamori Noodles and Yamamori Sushi for years. So anyway, in we went, got seated right away on a Friday night without reservation and two different waitresses were looking after us. Both very friendly and just lovely. Within seconds, the menu and a big bottle of water was placed in front of us and we studied our options. I wanted to try everything! The 'tapas' part of the menu (there's normal sushi options too) is divided into salads, dim sum, veg, seafood and meat options, plus sides. 22Euro buys you 3 plates, 35Euro for 5. We opted for 5 to share between the two of us and it was plenty of food. I loved trying different tastes in one meal so I'm totally sold on the idea. I'm not a huge fan of traditional tapas outside Spain but I love the concept of a variety of small plates. We had the venison, salmon teriyaki, duck pancakes, sashimi salad and pork and prawn dim sum. Everything, and I mean everything was fab and I would order again. There was also an interesting looking cocktail menu (which I didn't try cause I was trying to be good last weekend) but next time....well next time I'll start my evening with one of those. read more

I want to like this place more than I do because it has so much going for it - lively atmosphere, extensive food and drinks menu, right in the middle of town so a perfect place to start a great night out - but the Izakaya menu is so hit and miss that I am often left a bit disappointed, especially when I see the bill. The fish dishes are, in my opinion, very mediocre and fish being pretty pricey, the portions are small. The vegetarian options on the other hand are very different to what you will find anywhere else and many of them are, quite simply, delicious. You also get more of them. I'd recommend the pumpkin korokke and the spicy age-tofu in particular. Also, their whiskey menu is top-notch. It can get very busy here Thursday through Saturday, and during the holiday seasons, so I would make a reservation, especially if there's more than two of you. It's definitely worth a visit, or two, but I'm personally a bigger fan of its sister restaurants across the road and on the quays. read more

When I came here with a friend who's lived in Japan for a few years, his first reaction was: "Damn, did we just teleport to Tokyo?" because apparently, the Yamamori Izakaya is "the real deal, yo" (his words, not mine.). While it has the same owners as the two other Yamamori's in town, this one's a little bit different, in that the food tastes better and the atmosphere is the best out of all three restaurants. They have a "proper" restaurant with old school oriental-style decoration upstairs where it's a bit more convenient if you're more than eight people, but the cool part is the downstairs bar in the style of a Japanese drinking house. Big wooden tables, cheesy old Japanese movies playing in the background and dimly lit, the kind of bar where you can hang out with your friends for hours while enjoying a nice bottle of Asahi. They offer japanese pub food, or, as they call it "Japas". Three for €19, four for €25 and five for €30, which is a pretty good deal considering most dishes are between €6 and €9. Plus, it gives you the chance to try more than one dish, and you REALLY want to do that, because their food is delicious. From the more common Prawn Tempura to the more exotic Venison Yaki Niku, you'll be able to find a variety of meat, seafood and veggie dishes. Make sure to try their dumplings - they're by far the most delicious, juiciest dumplings I've tasted and you'll be likely to order more after you've tried them. For those with a bigger appetite, they have a few main dishes as well - try the Apricot Chicken - Apricot-glazed chicken sitting on a bed of fresh Veggies and served with brown or white rice. If you're not in the mood for food, try one of their Japanese Whiskeys, Japanese Beers, Sake or House Cocktails. They're generous with the liquor when mixing cocktails - try the Geisha Nights (consists of Soju, Triple Sec, Fresh Lime Juice and Aloe Vera Juice) and you'll see what I mean. If you fancy something different from the usual Irish pub and three-times-fried pub grub, give the Izakaya a try! read more

Verrry pricey but I guess you pay for good food! The building used to be a Bewleys cafe so had pre-existing Oriental themed features. The place is relaxing, has dim lighting, nice decor and the crowd are an interesting mix. We ordered a sharing platter for two people which was delicious (we literally asked for whatever the couple beside us were eating as there was soooo much on the menu we couldn't make up our minds!). The sharing platter wasn't enough or our hungry mouths so we ordered Temaki, Ribs and more Temaki in the end. You'll be spending close to 75euro to get a sufficient meal for two incl. drinks, so maybe chose this place for a special occasion and a not so regular eat. The girl serving us here was adorable and very friendly. She even pretended at one point that she was from North Korea which was hilarious. A very fun environment indeed. read more

Yamamori is a izakaya-type restaurant, which is supposed to mean that it is more like a tapas place, where you come to share some plates with friends. Indeed, we ate little food.

I was here for dinner only once. Looking forward to come back very soon, because of one particular dish. Can't remember its name now (updated: oh dear, it was venison). It's a meat thing, soooo delicious, that I cleaned the plate as it was the last piece of food on Earth :) Everything is quite great. I would of gave 5 stars, but serving wasn't perfect. We told what we want for starters and main courses, but everything was brought at the same time. But it was grand, because most dishes were cold anyway. Then I asked for more wasabi, and waiter forgot, as he apologised for that later. I asked another waiter for the same, so ended up getting double wasabi. Apart from that, everything is lovely and especially food. Food is gorgeous here. I'm back here very soon and should be you ;) read more

Loved it ! Walked in about 6.30 and the place was booked out they only had a bar side table which I was'nt mad on at first but had wanted to try this place for so long i just went with it and actually it was great we were sat on front of the chef and got to watch him make the sushi the whole night ! And watch all the amazing looking food leave the kitchen. The place it self was lovely staff were nice, and so many of them! ive never seen so many waiting staff in one place. Not silly money for a meal either and the food really is good and looks fab could be my new favorite sushi spot :) read more

This was my first time here and must say I was pretty pleased. We did the 5 for €35 option on the menu between two people. It was more than enough! The dumplings were great as was the duck hoisin with pancakes which was actually a much bigger portion than you would normally see. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the restaurant was quite busy for 9:30pm on a Wednesday night. They also offer a pretty large selection of alcoholic beverages. Overall pretty solid meal and I would be happy to return. read more

I only heard about this bar recently and have been dying to check it out. Located below street level with a few small windows onto the footpath, you can see legs busily pass by as you enjoy your cold pint. It is a great spot to go with a few mates for a chilled evening, loved the atmosphere in this place. They have a couple Japanese beers on tap and a larger selection of bottled beers. Four pints of Japanese beers came to just under €22, so very reasonable for a lovely imported beer in this part of town. You can also order food in the bar, try the Japanese tapas aka "Japas". read more
