I went to three places here: Bar Albatross, かめや (Kameya), and 焼き鳥太郎 (Yakitori Taro). The first two I heartily recommend, the last I do not. Bar Albatross is a great small bar with wonderful, dense decor. The first floor is good for quiet conversation, either with the bartenders (if you speak Japanese) or with fellow guests.

An alley of old time yakitori shops near Ginza in Tokyo. Low price and nostalgic feel. Frequented by foreigners and locals alike, so some English menus. Seats are inside the shop and outside on stools with beer crate tables. Very cheap and upbeat. Great atmosphere!! Nice cheap place to eat and drink beer at night in Tokyo. More
