Hopbeat Records WCB : The Bottom Line<\/h4>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB is a welcome addition to the area and it\u2019s finally nice to see West Coast Brewing<\/a> showing Tokyo some love with some permanent set ups. Though there isn\u2019t really anything to eat here, there\u2019s plenty enough beer on tap, and in the fridges to pick from. Perhaps the biggest issue you\u2019ll have here is finding somewhere to stand and drink as it\u2019s one of the smallest bars in the area. Outside of that, there\u2019s no table and no smoking, with some free wifi for you to connect to. Just make sure you come with some form of electronic payment mind as this place does not accept cash.<\/p>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB : Background<\/h4>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB is the first of two bars in Tokyo from West Coast Brewing and though the name suggests its focus is on vinyl, and with over 2,000 records to pick from, there\u2019s plenty of beers on offer. It\u2019s location is very close to Tokyo station, with this being located in the Shin-Marunouchi building, which is less than a five minute walk away from the Marunouchi exits of Tokyo station. The name \u201cHopbeat Records\u201d reflects its theme: a fusion of beer and music \u2014 the interior is styled like a record shop, featuring analog records, where staff play background music from the vast vinyl selection.<\/p>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB : Atmosphere & Interior<\/h4>\n

As you approach the bar, you\u2019re greeted by a bunch of standing tables, as well as a small bar counter that you can also stand and drink at. I\u2019d say that the focus of Hopbeat Records WCB is more popping in for a beer or two and shooting off, rather than sitting down and drinking three or four beers. With this in mind, there is no table charge at the bar, and customers are asked to share tables due to the small number of tables available. There is space for around 10 people but you will have to rub shoulders with the people next to you when the bar gets busy.<\/p>\n

With over 2,000 records to choose from, the staff have an eclectic range of music to choose from \u2013 so it might not always be to your taste. You are free to peruse the vinyls available though be warned, the racks of records do stretch right up to the ceiling, so don\u2019t go climbing the shelves.<\/p>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB : Beer & Tap Information<\/h4>\n

There are six taps of craft beer available at the bar, with all of them dedicated to beers from West Coast Brewing. The beers come in two sizes : glass (240 ml) from \u00a51,160, and pint (470 ml) from \u00a51,670 with prices including tax. There wasn\u2019t an option for a beer flight though there are cans that can be bought to takeaway, or drink in with a surcharge from \u00a5200 though I need to check that again because I had started on the imperial stouts and that part of the evening was a tad bit blurry for me by then. There\u2019s no happy hour option though.<\/p>\n

Hopbeat Records WCB : Food & Menu Information<\/h4>\n

Just some simple snacks on the menu so if you\u2019re hungry, then best head elsewhere to fill up. The menus have some rudimentrary English on them \u2013 enough to order really \u2013 though some of the staff do speak English as well. Just be warned that this place does not accept cash so make sure you have some form of electronic payment with you \u2013 credit card or debit card being the best option.<\/p>\n
