Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa posts a 10-beer draft lineup on July 22
Beerbar Festa in Shimokitazawa posted its July 22 draft lineup, featuring 10 beers including Yokohama Beer Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, High Five IPA, and more. The selection matches the summer mood around Shimokitazawa while keeping late-night drinking an easy option.
Hop BroBefore Shimokitazawa gets fully noisy for the night, the thing to check is Festa Shimokitazawa's 10 taps.
MugiWhat! Ten on draft? And they already have Yokohama Beer Weizen? I'm lost in the best way.
Hop BroThe range is the point. You get something like Setouchi's Dunkel for rich malt character, and then plenty of IPA options too.
MugiWait, what even is a Dunkel? That sounds like a final boss, not a beer.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a toasty dark lager. It looks serious, but it drinks smoother and lighter than you'd expect.
MugiOoh! Then where do I go for hops? Hi-Five IPA and Disco Ninja IPA already sound like a party.
Hop BroAnd that's not all. There's Ushiku's Wondervogel IPA, NOMCRAFT's Dinosaurs Zoo, plus Kanpai West Coast Pilsner to keep things sharp.
MugiHold on, West Coast Pilsner is a real beer name? I thought you were speed-running beer jargon at me.
Hop BroVery real. Think of it as a crisp pilsner with hop punch: clean, bright, and a little citrusy on the finish.
MugiAnd they even have DDC!'s Rosée d'Hibiscus? Hibiscus tang in a wheat beer is aggressively stylish.
Hop BroThe setup is smart too: near the station on the fifth floor, open until 1 a.m. on weekdays, and even if darts are unavailable during PDL, you can still watch from the counter.
MugiWith the pre-bon-odori Shimokitazawa vibe and that lineup, there's no way one glass is enough.
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa updated its draft lineup on July 22. The beer pub is located on the 5th floor near Shimokitazawa Station and stays open until 1 a.m. on weekdays, making it a convenient stop as the neighborhood heads into its summer festival season.
Draft lineup
- Yokohama Beer, Weizen
- Setouchi Brewery, Dunkel
- Ushiku Brewing, Wandervogel IPA
- Setouchi Brewery, High Five IPA

The range spans malt-forward beers like Weizen and Dunkel, hop-driven IPAs, a West Coast pilsner, and a hibiscus wheat beer. That gives drinkers a broad flavor set, from clean and crisp to aromatic and juicy.
The post also notes that the PDL darts league runs from around 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., so darts are unavailable during that window. Spectators can still watch from the counter end, which adds a bit of local pub atmosphere to the beer experience. For Shimokitazawa nights, it is a lineup that works well for both a quick stop and a longer session.
