Ant ‘n Bee

Used Unilocal and Untapped apps to find craft beers in Roppongi.
This place was hard to find but a nice guy at the flower shop directed us here.
Good Japanese craft beer selection. They have a good menu but that’s not why I’m here. It is beer time baby!

Really liked this place. Simple concept and the bar makes you feel like you’re a local in Tokyo even if you’ve been here 5 mins.

Not sure what you could say bad about this place. Here on a Sunday night — American traveling for work. I have been in Asia for over a week with one more to go — a night to relax — and this place is perfect. Bar Food is classic — just a bit healthier — the beer is good and the staff is incredible — cannot recommend it anymore — it is small — but not sure that is a bad thing at all!

In between Tokyo site seeing on our recent trip I tried to visit as many craft beer bars as possible. One that appeared on Unilocal searches in Roppogni was this place. Cool name and seemed to have some decent reviews so we made a «bee» line to it!
The place is not huge and like most Tokyo venues it’s smokey. Thankfully though it was not bad when I was in. This place has cool branding with the whole ant and bee thing going on and I quite liked it.
If your in the area and your a craft beer fan or just looking for a decent pub, this is definitely somewhere you should check out, plenty of IPAs, foreign and Japanese, friendly staff and a nice place for a pint or two. The only downside is the area as its in perhaps the only shady area in Tokyo. (Well that I visited)
Just watch out for the ants and bees… Not really… Well not that I saw.

The spot! Great underground craft brew pub. Had a beer drinkers guide to Colorado so that gets points immediately. Beers great, bartender hustling around. Nice place to take a break in late afternoon. They don’t open until 5pm.

Cool (tiny) beer and snack bar in the basement, set away from the hustle of the Roppongi streets above. Come here to check out some obscure craft beers local to Japan.

I was with some friends doing a daytime craft beer crawl in Roppongi. We decided to beat the crowds and enjoy the peace and quiet before all the loud music, street people and drunks come out.
Ant N’ Bee was my favorite of the four craft beer stops. Excellent! I like the small bar environment. No loud & lame music playing. Seats 10 at the bar and several tables at separate section. We sat at the bar. In view of 20 taps and the kitchen.
Service– Tako & Take, were really nice, spoke excellent English, able to point us to the beers of our preference. Watched Tako make mayonnaise and tartar sauce from scratch. Was also glad to see them make their onions rings fresh and not from a bag.
The beer was great. Out of the 20 Japanese Craft Beers on tap I had the Mojiko Dunkel Weizen Bock. I consider this a dessert beer. The others went for IPAs. Went well with the fried potatoes and squid appetizers.
Side note: More businesses here are learning about Unilocal.Love it! Use the 10% discount on food when you check in.

Went during Halloween week and boy do the staff get dressed up in the spirit. It is a basement bar with attentive servers and bartenders. There is great nitro and pump beer selection. Service and orders came quick. Felt very welcome here. Located near the underground and the Hardrockcafe. Good air conditioning/​ventilation. Overall comfortable and serious beer enjoyment here. They speak English here, too. Woohoo! Aloha!

My friend who lives in Tokyo knows how much I love craft beer. Him and his friend brought me here one night during my layover and I can’t wait to go back.
Tokyo is a city famous for their bar scene but craft beer spots are still emerging. Ant ‘n Bee’s selection of domestic craft beer is excellent. You won’t find your Asahi Super Dry here. Not that there’s anything wrong with Asahi mind you.
There’s a good variety for every taste, from beginners to craft beer aficionados. I tried a selection of ipa’s, barley wines, and stouts, which is not the usual selection in bars.
What’s also great is that they have wifi! It may not seem like a big deal but it’s actually quite hard to get a connection in this city. Who needs wifi when data is pretty much unlimited (for locals)? So I was able to happily check in my beers (on my beer app) real time. Oh! And now I can check in on Unilocal

Ant n Bee is one of my favorite places for beer in Tokyo. It is completely devoted to Japanese craft beer– a thankfully quickly developing trend. It’s average sized for a Tokyo place– we grabbed a seat at the bar and tried several beers from all over the country. What they offer changes constantly but we tried an orange wheat as well as a yuzu beer and were very satisfied.
They do have a kitchen and offer small plates of food– we tried the basic nut mix as well as a small pizza. Well, I THINK we tried the pizza but obviously the beer got the Better of my memory. The owner is devoted to beer culture and even had an Oscar Blue’s can on display, which made this Colorado native take note.
This is in Roppongi so it’s not cheap but for this area it’s totally reasonable. Also the design of the menu and signage is so cute and well thought-​out. For us this is a must visit.

Ant ‘n Bee is one of the best places in Tokyo to try domestic craft beers. With over 20 taps devoted only to Japanese beers, you are sure to find a style to your liking.
Ant ‘n Bee is located just a couple minutes walk from Roppongi crossing. It’s in the B1, so look for the sign outside and proceed down the steps. There is a bar in front that seats 10 and tables in a room to the left with space for 20+ people.
The beers are divided into the following categories: real ales, weizens, lagers, fruit beers, ales, smoked beers, Belgians, hybrids, and blacks. The menu lists the alcohol percentage and IBU value for each beer. Another nice feature is that the beers are available in 4 sizes — from small to extra large. The pricing is as follows:
small: ￥700
regular: ￥900
large: ￥1200
x-​large: ￥2400
The food is fairly standard, but above average for bar food. The chicken wings in particular were quite tasty and the prices are reasonable. If you like Japanese craft beers, Ant ‘n Bee is a great choice.
