In some other review of a beer bar in Sapporo (perhaps in several reviews, actually), I said that Sapporo was in desperate need of bar where you could have a proper burger and a beer.  Not a hamburger restaurant, but a bar… that serves burgers. Bearfoot is that kind of place. Sort of. (How many […]

Another favorite on our list of craft beer bars in Sapporo is Beer Bar North Island. Great beer, with some options for food. Beer Bar North Island is in a great location (just off of Tanukikouji Four) on the 10th (and top floor) of a high rise building in downtown Sapporo, very close to Odori […]

Just about all the restaurants in Sapporo serve beer, but certain places make beer the focus, and Beer Kotan is one of the best craft beer bars in Sapporo, and a very cool place to have a “pint” (or three). Beer Kotan is on the three floor of a building, on an alley, behind the […]

There are, in fact, a few places to get a really good draft beer in this town. And we do our best to help you out with our list of the best craft beer bars in Sapporo. We like a lot of those places, but this place, Phred’s place, is special. Welcome to Beer Inn […]

Because of it’s location near Odori park, I had seen Beer Hall Mustache many times as I rode by in a taxi. As it was never my destination (until now), I was not quite sure of the name or the address, until we began our work on documenting the best beer bars in Sapporo. And […]

First, I will confess, while I have spent a fair amount of time in some of the best craft beer bars in Sapporo, this is my first ever visit to Beer Cellar Sapporo. The first thing to notice about Sapporo Beer Cellar is… it is not a “cellar.” It’s a street level business. And you […]

As I sit at their absolutely ステキ wooden bar, and begin to write this review of the New Orleans restaurant Famous Door in Sapporo, I am already feeling a warm affection for this place, and sense of something like embarrassment for not coming here more often. This place is awesome. Sapporo’s Famous Door is an […]

As a part of our research for our article on the best beer bars in Sapporo, we wanted to hit one of the last “craft beer bars” on our list. Below we bring you our review of ES Craft Beer in Sapporo. ES Craft Beer bar is located about two or three blocks south of […]

Here I am again. At Maltheads, Sapporo. And it’s not much better (maybe worse?) than the last time. As we work on our list of the best Sapporo beer bars, we wanted to check out Maltheads; a small craft beer bar near the far eastern edge of Tanukikouji. It has a cool name, right? Maltheads, […]

While some of the good restaurants in Sapporo we will send you to can be a little hard to find, The Craft in Sapporo is hardly a secret. The Craft (which is a beer bar in Sapporo) is peak “Susukino.” It is a few shops east of the main intersection that separates the southern Susukino […]

It was while rolling around in Susukino that we came across Susukino Brewing, in Sapporo’s “red light” district. Sapporo is the best city in the world, and we do our best to screen all the top beer bars in Sapporo. So, out of sheer dedication to your, our dear readers, we stepped in to give […]

Hey. We just got here; is it too soon to use the “L” word? It is our great pleasure (and we’re only part way through our first beer as we type this) to give your our very local review of Streetlight Brewing Company in Sapporo. As you might know, we have a strong passion for […]

Do you love beer? Good food? Then for another contender on our list of the best beer bars in Sapporo, check out this review of Volta Craft Beer Bar in Sapporo. There are two “Volta” restaurants in Sapporo (both are in Susukino, about five minutes apart from each other on foot). The original Volta (which […]

As local beer drinkers here in the best city in the world, we know Sun and Moon (月と太陽) Brewing in Sapporo has a fantastic selection of craft beer.  While Sun and Moon calls itself a brewery, our take is that the experience is more like a restaurant, or maybe more like a wine bar; while […]

We’re not going to be shy about it: we like 酒場ニューチャベス New Chavez in Sapporo very much. It is not totally what they call “foreigner-friendly,” but it’s an exceptional spot. And as we think about how to present the best restaurants and bars in Sapporo, we think New Chavez belongs in a special category. ICHIBAN […]
