`vivo! BEER+DININGBAR`, tucked on the basement floor in Ikebukuro, is a craft-beer specialist with 20 draft lines. Its newest pour is Be Easy Brewing's `Tohoku 6Hop`, presented in the post as a hazy IPA with a citrusy, juicy hop aroma and a rounded bitterness.

The rest of the tap list shows how broad the bar's selection is. Alongside collaboration beers like `vivo!×CYCAD BREWING 42(forty two)` and `vivo!×CYCAD BREWING 16(sixteen)`, the lineup includes `Kyoto Brewing Summer's Whim`, `West Coast Brewing Starwatcher`, `Inkhorn Brewing Arotic Tern`, and `TOKYO ALE WORKS Remouse Blended B.A.Imperial Stout~Special ver.`. Pale ale, IPA, saison, fruit beer, cider, stout, and lager all appear in the same setting, making the bar a good stop for side-by-side tasting.

Food is part of the appeal too. The seasonal menu features chicken breast ham, potato salad, Spanish omelette with zucchini and potatoes, smoked paprika salmon rillettes, clam and lemon aglio olio, and pork shoulder braised with white beans and sherry. With weekday, Saturday, and holiday opening hours set for afternoon-to-evening service, it works equally well for a quick pint after work or a longer dinner session.
