Stand Umineko

Umineko Craft Beer is about three blocks Burkett of Dotombori bridge on street level with space for 10 cozy folks. The staff and customers were very friendly and the the roughly 8 taps featured up and coming breweries from southern Japan so this is a great place to try things you are unlikely to see on tap elsewhere. Prices were 700¥ a small to roughly 1400¥ for their largest size. All in all a great place to pop in to fir a quick beer in a plastic cup.

First beer stop in Osaka. Tiny little place close to the Dotonburi area. Standing room only (thus the name). 8 taps of Japanese goodness, a tad expensive but not bad for Japan and Asia in general. Small (quarter pints) available at 650¥ per pour. Friendly service and free wifi. Small food menu, all 300¥ each, mainly small platters (cheese, cold cut, etc..)

Small, narrow bar just north of the dotonbori. Very friendly, and bilingual, staff. Mostly Derailleur beers with a few selections from smaller Japanese breweries. They offer a few snacks and to-go coffee as well. Fun and lively atmosphere.

A tiny little bar with standing room for around ten people! They have 10 taps of all quality Japanese beers, mostly from Derailleur. The place is run by two charming ladies who speak great English are real fun to be with. A truly awesome place. Stop by for a beer if you can find room inside.

Small standing bar just around the corner from the famous bridge at Dotombori. Fits maybe 8 people comfortably. Like the sister shop upstairs, it features Derailleur beers, plus mostly stuff from new craft breweries in Japan. That means they beers can be hit-and-miss, but it is nice to be able to try these breweries, because basically no one else around here stocks them. ¥650 for a small, ¥1100 for a pint. Plastic cups are a minus but the service was friendly as could be.
