ØL by Oslo Brewing Co.

If you’re in Tokyo just looking for a nice spot to chill and have a beer this is your place. The beer selection is 10/10 and changes all the time, roll the dice and try a different one each time. The food is also epic, pork cutlet got top 3 bite of the trip awards from me 🏆. The music and the atmosphere also on point. Can’t really go wrong here, rest and be thankful!

Not sure why the staff are getting a bad rap from others. Maybe they aren't so friendly themselves 🤣. Fantastic beers, bar staff helped with the choices. Recommended

Great little craft beer spot out the back of Shibuya. The combo with the food truck is excellent and highly recommend dropping in for a beer or two. Easy to find and both indoor and outdoor seating areas.

Just a short walk away from the bustle of Shibuya square, this has a relaxed Scandinavian vibe filled with locals. The beer selection is excellent and taco truck serves food (although I didn’t try it). Well worth a visit, and afterwards I recommend a short walk to Fuglen for the true Norwegian experience in Tokyo!

Very cosy place, in my opinion. The staff is nice and friendly, the decoration revolves around clear wood, which is very nice. They do happy hours from 12 to 18 on weekdays There's a partnership with a taco food truck installed in front of the shop, so you can get tacos with your beer(s). There are outdoor and indoor seats. Beer wise, there are around 20 beers on tap from Japan and around the world (various styles). Some are unavailable at the moment (5)

Lighting, music, drinks, atmosphere and everything there is unique. You can enjoy a chill music during the day or at night. I have been to this place many times and I always enjoy it. It’s a Norwegian brewery and their drinks are great.

Staff throwing us out 1 hour prior bar closure. Today, Sep 17. Check your staff, they are cleaning the bar, turning on all the lights and throwing everyone's out. Hey, if you are tired and not willing to work, just state it in Google Maps which clearly says you are working till midnight. Very rude and dissappointing considering how much we spent that night. I would not recommend anyone's visiting this bar because of the staff's attitude. Very unfriendly. Sayonara!

The ambience is amazing. They have good selection of craft beers on tap. They have some options for snacks like tacos, nachos, etc. Sometimes there are musicians playing the guitar or the flute which really adds to the ambience. It usually gets quite crowded during the weekends but you will get a seat if you wait for a while.

Scandinavian region brewery in Japan! It felt cool to drink the beers from the western world with other tourists. They had a good selection to choose from. While I am not the biggest fan of Oslo beer, it was cool to see it all on tap. They even had tacos for their food options on site. The place has indoor and outdoor seating and is located in a very busy area of Japan.

A nice spot for a Euro/American style brew in the middle of Shibuya. A good option for a quieter, more adult setting in a typically go, go, go district. The beer was great and made for a nice night out.

Great quality brews from Oslo Brewing and other guest beers on tap. ØL is Oslo Brewing which features mostly Scandinavian craft beers as well as some Japanese craft brews. It's located about a 10 minute walk from Shibuya station with tables inside and outside. There is a Taco truck located in front which you can order inside the bar. Great option for a night of drinking and dining. For more great places to enjoy international food and drinks in Japan join us on...

This is a nice place to stop by. It is in the heart of Shibuya and it does not disappoint. The brews are to be proud of and the ambiance is just nice to recharge and have a nice beer. The staff is extremely humble and some are multilingual. Also, the food is surprisingly good. I was shocked to have a nice taco in Japan. Take the opportunity and have a flight or two. You won't regret it.

The last time I was here was New Years Eve 2015. This used to be Mikkeller Tokyo. Years later Olso Brewing company took over. Glad I stopped by. ØL means beer. Beer here is great! 20 beers on tap. Many from Oslo Brewing or from Northern Europe and some local Japanese Breweries too. If you're just visiting/vacay I'd recommend a flight. Had 6 Norwegian/ Northern Europe Beers and 2 Japan beers. Prices are about average for the Tokyo Craft Beer scene. Pay after you select your beer. Great drinking atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon. Tables, benches and and spots at the bar available. People drinking and talking. They don't have their own kitchen. No big deal....they have a food truck parked outside for some delicious street tacos. Pay at the truck. The Taco chef will bring it to your table. Shout out to Yelper Ken S. for stopping by and having a few beers! If you want to try some Norwegian beers without leaving the country give this place a try.

Liked this stop a lot. It's in Shibuya in a cool part of town. The interior is kind of artsy. The beers were good, i had a saison. Would recommend a stop, they have a ton of tap options.

A funky beer bar featuring 20 craft beers from Scandinavia and Japan on tap. Pull up a wooden box, in the courtyard, and enjoy the smoky scent of yakitori being Barbequed or even say hi to a local who has brought along their pet owl. If outside isn't your thing, a sleek yet simple interior will comfort you. A great grazing menu awaits, with wonderful kitch bar snacks a plenty. Very Brooklyn, Fitzroy, Brunswick in style (if you're familiar with those hoods).

¥1400 for a large but elegantly fruity Oslo Brewing IPA. Very tasty, friendly staff, with indoor and outdoor seating. Some (not a lot) of café options make it a chiq date spot for the hipster crowd.

This place is great for a craft brew; it's expensive for local fair, but if you're up for craft beer and some of the best tacos you'll find in Tokyo.. It's a clutch a spot with good music.

Very chill craft beer spot. The left half of the menu focuses on Scandinavian beers and the right half on Japanese beers. About 20 beers on tap. My husband and I shared a flight and chose the 4 darkest beers on the menu. All four had distinct flavors although within the same chocolate/coffee/caramel family, which is our favorite. The ambiance is clean and modern. A nice place to sip on your beer and have a good conversation. A little pricier than a regular bar but you're getting better quality drinks. If you have a palate for craft beer, this is the place for you.

I didn't want any alcohol or non alcoholic drinks today. It's very hot and I just wanted water. My husband had a beer and probably was going to buy 3 more and we would have bought food too, but they enforced every customer must have a drink. The restaurant isn't even close to being full with the seats right now (literally was so empty). There was a significant amount of empty tables indoors and outdoors. We also were not with a group either. I think it's complete bs and I have given countless money to this establishment over the past two years and they just lost a very loyal costumer. This was my favorite place to come to in Shibuya, but it's on my shitlist now. Find a better brewery, plenty of bars around and get Mexican food at TacoFanatico down the street (way better vibe there anyways) or Chiles in Harajuku instead. Also they have a sign to no 'strong perfume' yet their establishment smells of incense. Zero stars if I could. I can't believe I ever used to come here excitedly many times before.

Shibuya is now turning into a craft beer mecca now. SO many beer shops nearby, Mikkeller, etc. You can hit them all in one night if you want. My favorite beer bar in Shibuya is OL. While the beer is a bit pricey, ¥1400 for an IPA, ¥1800 for the more expensive stuff, it is well worth the price. Where else can you sip these beers in Japan? Nowhere! Great vibe + Friendly staff.

Simply, I met an unpleasant staff for this time. Although beer and atmosphere were nice, he didn't show any will of welcoming to the customers. Miscalculation of beer price. Yell at us, Use the drink coaster!! Surprisingly, he was demanding to the others as well. Disappointed.

After a month traveling around Asia this was by far the best I've had since back home in Southern California. It was so good I think I'll be back tomorrow for another! They have a great list of various beers as well for all palettes. The prices are a bit steap (1300 yen) but well worth it if you enjoy a good beer!

I purchased a beer labeled something 'fruity' but sadly it tasted like apple cider vinegar soda, so I asked to swap it for something else. Diane, the rudest cashier I have ever met in my life LOL, told me in a very nasty tone that I should have thought about that before I bought it and they wouldn't swap anything out. She then stated I would have to buy another...so eventually, I agree as to and stood there for like two minutes while she proceeded to ignore me and then walked back over to tell me I could get to the back of the line to buy a different one. It's on tap. The amount of energy she wasted being rude and aggressive could have been better exerted towards the tap. We ended canceling the entire food order, and now you missed out on money for such a nasty tone.

My boyfriend and I stopped in this bar because we had some time to kill between visiting the cat cafe just down the street and our dinner reservation one evening. We enjoyed the international scene of the bar and the mashup of Norwegian and Japanese craft beer offerings. We ordered several different beers because they were available in smaller sizes, in addition to regular pint sizes. The variety was excellent, and we would definitely stop here again if we're craving a European bar in Tokyo. The only downside was that the bartenders took a while to ask if we wanted another round when we were done with our beers.

Great craft beers and a broad selection with something for everybody. Nifty foods that pair well and are just right. And a nice cross section of the people you want to hang with in Tokyo. Will be back.
