Iiie Craft Beer: Shinsaibashi
Past the front counter with its 20 taps, beyond the huge refrigerators stocked with 300 different canned beers, the main dining area here is quite stylishly appointed and surprisingly spacious. There's also a minimalist standing-bar zone in front to handle overflow.
Iiie is both a bar and a retailer, and they offer an excellent selection of canned and bottled beers and ciders from around the world, many of them quite unusual. Draft beers are also available to take out, in plastic cups.
If you're drinking here, the kitchen turns out tacos, fried chicken and other beer-friendly snacks, with occasional special menus. The bar also serves as a venue for parties and music and art events.
