The Otaru Beer brewery house is a great spot to end your day exploring the town. We went here on a rainy autumn day at around 4.30/5pm and it was really easy to find a table, but when we left around 6pm there was a line so it does get busy here. For us it was the perfect spot to warm up, drink some great German style beers and have some dinner. The beers were really good! We tried all 3 of the standard, main beers they offer (pilsner, dark and wheat beers) and all were equally good. The food was good too, although portion sizes are on the smaller side I would say so maybe stick to the proper mains if you're hungry. There is even a little gift shop to buy some Otaru beer themed gifts if you like. All in all would recommend coming here if you're visiting Otaru.

A nice little attraction located in the warehouse street of Otaru. The beer hall here can be easily missed as it's outer façade is a bit unassuming. Once inside you'll be greeted with a large open air hall you can sit down and eat and drink. The second floor is a small little tour of the brewery which is free of charge. We tried a few of their beers as well as non alcoholic beverages and I will say the cherry cider here is probably the best tasting beverage I've had in a while. The apple cider was also sublime. The food was just above average but you do get so sit in a nice atmosphere to enjoy your drinks. We had gone in the winter so it's a little counter intuitive to have an ice cold beer, but all the drinks tasted great!

Tourists, please learn to read signs. The negative review of another traveler complaining that there was no staff who assisted them is ridiculous. We just went there and you know what? There was a CLEAR sign in front saying that YOU should choose the table you prefer, sit there, look at the menu on the table, fill out the Order Form on the table and hand it to the staff. We followed instructions and everything WENT WELL. It’s so unfair for tourists to rate it low because they didn’t bother to read a sign that is right in front of them. We are also tourists but we know how to read. It was in ENGLISH. And if you speak neither English nor Japanese, then use Google Translate. It’s not that hard.
