Good cozy english pub to drink good beer and watch soccer ! They broadcast several football (soccer) match such premier league games or other championship. If a math interested you, you can book a table through their website to be sure to have a good seat. They have three craft beers and others classics such Guinness, Sapporo, hoegaarden etc. The atmosphere is typically english pub, the food is good, you can order traditional English pub food such as Fish and chips, sausages, french potatoes. The staff is really friendly and speak english if you need ! I highly recommend this place to have some drinks with friends and if you like watching football !

Great place to watch premier league in Tokyo. Even have video screens on urinals so you don’t miss any of the game!

This was a lucky find while in Ebisu. We were just walking the streets and turned one last corner and this pub caught my eye. I saw the English beer on tap and decided I could not pass it up. Great service with bottle and draft beers. I only had drinks so I cannot evaluate the food. Good English and Japanese. Enjoy!

Hands down my absolute go-to British pub in Tokyo! Fabulous food especially the fish & chips! For ¥1,500 you get a huge piece of deliciousness with a plentiful amount of chips as you can see in the pic I recommend this place to everyone and you definitely won’t be disappointed!

A cozy english Pub here in Ebisu. I can imagine that watching sports here is fun. They serve typical pub food and of course a selection of imported beers. There is a happy hour on selected drinks, then you pay ¥ 200 less. It's still not a cheap pub, but where on the planet can you find cheap pubs?

I liked this place. Very close to Ebisu station with reasonably priced beer. Decent menu but the sausage rolls and scotch egg were overHERBED! I didn't even think that wasbpossible

Super fun place to watch rugby. Fast service for both drinks and food. There was a cover charge during a rugby world cup game but it included a drink ticket at least. Food was very good as well - fish/chips, scotch egg, etc. Good air circulation/temperature which is crucial on a crowded sports day.
