MugiWhat? The pub is going on tour? A Nagano harvest festival sounds amazing!
Hop BroThat means it will be closed from October 23 to 25, with the event on Sunday, October 25.
MugiSo I cannot drink in Sangubashi then? My late-night beer plan just vanished in foam!
Hop BroBut at the festival, beer fans may get to toast with the staff and regulars around Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiNice! So what beer styles will they be pouring?
Hop BroThat is the key point: the article does not list specific beers or taps; the details are not announced yet.
MugiNo way, the tap list is a treasure chest? So we need an on-site lineup check!
Hop BroExactly. A tap is the draft-beer server, and wondering what will be connected is part of the fun.
MugiGot it! BAR Shanks is set to reopen October 26, so we might hear all the festival stories too.
Hop BroIt is on the second floor by Sangubashi Station, open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. I want the next pint already.
MugiMe too! Whether in Nagano or back at the pub, let’s toast with craft beer!
BAR Shanks, a beer pub located in Yoyogi, Shibuya, will take a three-day break from Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25, 2026.
The closure is scheduled because the pub will participate in the Shiga Kogen Beer harvest festival in Nagano Prefecture on October 25. For beer fans attending the festival, the event may offer a chance to meet the BAR Shanks team and share a toast with fellow regulars away from the pub’s usual home near Sangubashi Station.
The original announcement does not specify the individual beers that will be served or provide a tap list. Visitors should therefore check the festival’s on-site lineup for details. The event is centered on Shiga Kogen Beer, making it a natural destination for drinkers interested in the brewery’s beers and seasonal brewing culture.
BAR Shanks operates on the second floor of the Sangubashi Station-front building. Its regular hours are 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., making it a convenient late-night stop for craft beer after work or an evening in Tokyo. The pub is normally closed on Sundays, while remaining open on public holidays.
Guests planning to visit during the weekend should take note of the temporary closure. BAR Shanks is scheduled to resume business on Monday, October 26. After the harvest festival, the pub will once again welcome beer lovers at its Yoyogi location.
