JiBiru Craft Beer Bar is where you’d go if you want a quick and affordable lunch fix in town (they have substantial lunch sets from $12.80) while sneaking in a pint of exquisite craft beer. Although the seating space is non air-conditioned, there's an endless breeze from the giant overhead fans to keep you cool. This Japanese staple in 313 Somerset has been serving fine Japanese brews for a while now, and even stocks an extensive collection of bottled Hitachino Nest, Shiga Kogen and Kinshachi beers. At any given time, there are six rotational beers on tap like Sapporo and Hitachino — check their website for the latest shipments. If it’s your first time having Japanese craft beer, order the Tasting Flight to try ($13.50 for four before 6pm) and have the perfectly grilled Hibiki Set ($36.50 for 12 skewers) on the side to share.
Avg Price: $25 per person
