A group of 5 Americans & Canadians, each of us living in Osaka over 20 years & fluent in Japanese, met here to catch up over craft beers, and spent over ¥17,000 from 7-9pm. Two guys left 15-20 min. early, so we paid our shared...tab, and the remaining 3of us stayed to finish our half-full pints. So far so good. Then, when we have just 1-2 cm left in our glasses, the young 20-something year-old waitress says to us in Japanese, 'Will you please hurry up and leave? We have other customers waiting to sit down.' So much for Japanese patience and good service! She should have waited 1-2 minutes more and we would have left anyway! Instead, her poor customer service gets her pub this poor rating. There are plenty of better places to go for craft beer in Osaka.More

We stopped into Beer Belly to have a couple of Japanese craft beers and were really pleased with the experience. Beer Belly has one of the broadest selections we saw in Japan, and we had a couple of really nice options. My favorite was the...stout. I also ordered some pickles to snack on and those were good. Beer Belly is a little hard to find, but keep your eyes peeled for the sign. Recommended if you like beer.More

This is a great place to come for craft beer in Osaka. My wife and I tried 4 different beers and they were all great. It would have been nice if they offered a flight/tasting. The food menu was limited but priced reasonably and the...food was good. We had the burger and the fish and chips. The place is small and only holds about 20 people so it pays to get there early. There was a line of people waiting to get in when we left.More

A long narrow venue of typical size for urban Japan. It has 3 tables and a long bar going almost all the way to the back where there’s an open kitchen and a toilet. 8 taps of Minoh beers available plus 4 hand pull taps...of Minoh “real ale”. English menu and better English speaking from the staff than expected. Kitchen turned out very good food from a menu that focuses on English pub fare (e.g., fish and chips; shepherds pie), tapas and cheese. Friendly staff and good service. Customers must buy one drink, at least at night … not a problem here. I had a disappointing coffee stout and a very good Monkey IPA.More

Awesome craft beers from the Osaka region, and atmosphere was great. If you’re in the area check it out!

Walking around Tenma-area in the evening, I stumbled upon this place. The name was what caught my attention, the beers was what made me stay. Great selection of beers, nice staff that communicates reasonably in English. Food menu is not so great so make sure...you have eaten before you come.More

Minoh Beer is the best micro brewery in Japan! The W-IPA & Weizen beers are must have. The Dark Larger and Stouts should not be forgotten. Minoh beer has several bars around Osaka and this is my favourite due to the location. Tenma is a...great lively area that has so many choices for bars and restaurants. Every time I'm back in Osaka I drop by here for drinks. I recommend food elsewhere in the area, and the service could do with a little extra smile- but a huge range of beers on tap makes up for any small complaints I have. Beer fans, please check this place out!More

Not quite a dive bar but a chill spot serving beer from the Minoh microbrewery. The weizen and peach weizen were fantastic. The bar bites were a little on the pricey side. I had the beer belly which was a lighted seared duck (raw in...the middle) served cold with soy sauce. About 10 pieces, 800yen, but delicious. Beer was the same price as any craft spot back in the states. Would recommend for drinks for sure.More

Great beers and food is ok but awesome ambience. Everyone was super nice and I'd definitely come back. Shrimp was awesome, the garlic aioli potatoes were just cold mashed potatoes I could do without

I've been here several times, on my own, with friends and on dates, and each time I've grown less and less fond. The range of draught beers is small compared to other craft beer pubs in Osaka, and on numerous occasions all that's available are...the Minoh beers, which are fine, but really nothing special. Any guest beers that appear seem to disappear rapidly. The food is reasonable, if unimaginative, and nowhere near as good as QBrick, Dig or Kamikaze. Service is extremely unpredictable, on occasion rude, often surly, but mostly just off-hand. I suppose if they're attempting to emulate a British pub, they've just about got that part right. So why return? Well, Temma is a fantastic part of Osaka, and Beer Belly is the focal point for starting (or ending) the night, and the atmosphere is lively, with a good mix of foreigners and Japanese. My last visit to Beer Belly was a few weeks back, and having become more regular at the aforementioned competition, there's less incentive to give repeat business when better options exist.More
