Summer Beer Gardens in Tokyo 2024

In summer, is there anything better than sipping on an ice cold beer as the city temperature rises? Well yes, actually there is: Digging into a freshly grilled piece of meat that perfectly accompanies your frosty glass. There are of course many beer gardens across the city right now, but why not check out some of the BBQ beer gardens that compliment the summer so well?

Korean BBQ Beer Garden (Ikebukuro)

There’s definitely a trend showing that this year is the year for Korean BBQ. This beer garden offers various courses such as standard Korean BBQ, but if you ask me, the samgyeopsal course is where it is at. The drink menu includes soju and makgeolli as well to wash down all those chijimi.

Forest Beer Garden (Shinanomachi)

Maybe you’d rather spend your summer nights outside in nature and having some nice bbq lamb. Who wouldn’t? But you live in Tokyo which is somewhat lacking in nature. Well, this is where the Forest Beer Garden comes in. Situated in Meiji Jingu Gain and serving up Genghis Khan grill lamb. It may be one of the more slower paced ways to spend a summer night.  Reservations are filling up quick so make yours soon. .
