Golden Garden, a beer pub in Shintenchi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, has shared its operating calendar for the second half of June through early July. The post notes that on weekends when staff schedules allow, the pub opens during the day, and that Sunday the 21st will start service at 1:00 p.m. It is a schedule that makes the place useful for both an evening pint and a daytime session.

The beer that stands out in the post is the Hiroshima collaboration beer “HNB RED IPA.” Golden Garden says it is down to the last few servings, so anyone interested will want to move quickly. The pub also sets a daily happy hour until 7:00 p.m., during which draft beer from its own HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING label is available at a better value.

The food list leans nicely toward beer drinking. Items include small sardines in seaweed batter, crispy fried cheese, beef tendon and daikon, pork and glass noodles stir-fried with oyster sauce, and bamboo shoots with minced meat and miso. There is also a one-person platter and beef curry on the menu, making it easy to choose between light snacking and a fuller meal.

Golden Garden is a Hiroshima beer pub focused on draft beer and the pleasure of choosing a pint based on the day. From after-work drinks to weekend daytime beer sessions, it is the kind of place worth checking against the calendar before heading out.
