Tap Beer Club Vend

Super fun bar right in the heart of minami. 8 taps of Japanese craft. ¥600 for a large "half" pint and ¥1800 for a yard glass (never seen anyone but me drinking one). Owner is very friendly and speaks good English. They offer a few snack type foods. There is a wheel of fortune type game as well with prizes including a free beer, switching places with the barkeep for 5 minutes, a strong chuhai, buying the bar a round, and calling the person you love. They're open very late. Give it a go.

Small bar near Shinsaibashi station with 8 somewhat eclectic taps of Japanese craft. A bit hard to find, as the entrance is set back into the building. Front door is a Coke vending machine, hence the name. I liked the lineup. It was pretty varied. Pricing scheme is a bit weird. ¥500 charge. 1/4 pint is ¥400, 1/2 pint is ¥600 (seemed a bit bigger to me), a yard is ¥1900. Owner speaks English. Maybe room for 15 people tops. Good place to stop to try several beers. You need to have a few to make up for the charge.
