YMMV on the friendliness of the staff, but my wife and I had a great conversation with the bartender that made this stop memorable. We talked about several American breweries that we've been too or are near our home towns, such as Firestone, Coronado, Modern...Times, Russian River, etc. The beer selection is great; we tried a couple of Japanese craft beers, and we really enjoyed the Lush Hop IPA from Ise Kadoya. The beers were a bit expensive, though. Still, a cool hangout spot. Didn't try the food, so can't comment on that.More
