(Revisited in September 2022) Visited during a weekday social gathering in Iidabashi for the second round. Arrived around 9:00 PM with two groups already present, mostly young people. I have visited a few times before and I always find the atmosphere quite pleasant. This time, there were five of us. Started with a Beam Highball for 429 yen. I remembered the pizza being delicious in the past, so I ordered one, only to be told it would take over 30 minutes as it was still frozen solid and needed time to thaw. I gave up and opted for the Beef Jerky for 649 yen. Also ordered the Adult Chocolate for 429 yen. When they arrived, they were surprisingly small... nowhere near the satisfaction of the pizza. I had planned to just have one drink, but ended up staying over an hour... and ordering more! The total bill for five people came to 9,000 yen.

Located near Iidabashi Station, this restaurant is convenient for a second or third stop as it is open until 27:00 and allows smoking (both regular and electronic). With a cover charge of 390 yen, you can enjoy unlimited popcorn as a snack. They also offer unlimited prosciutto for 500 yen, but be careful as this price is per person. We ended up ordering about 5 plates for two people, which made us worry about consuming too much salt. It's best to order in moderation, maybe one plate per person. The menu is generally full of junk food with strong flavors, perfect for drinking, but those concerned about their blood pressure should be cautious. The carrot Calamuchito salad for 490 yen was a unique idea and surprisingly delicious. They accept PayPay as payment.

The area in front of Iidabashi Station is convenient because there are few stores open late at night! I have never been alone, so I'm not sure what it's like alone, but when I go with another person, the staff doesn't talk to us. #Iidabashi #Pizza #QuattroFormaggi #PotatoSalad #Popcorn #Highball #Cocktail

I'm always struggling to find dinner options. The office district is empty on Saturdays. There are no people around. I'm a salaryman working alone. The place feels like a sports bar, with monitors scattered around. It has a cozy atmosphere like HUB. There's only one staff member and one customer. I wonder if more people will come later. It's relaxing. I'll have one more drink and then head home.

(Revisited in January 2019) After enjoying a delicious drinking party at Yu-san, we walked towards Iidabashi Station and noticed that everyone still seemed to be in high spirits. So, I suggested grabbing some pizza for a second round, and everyone agreed without hesitation (laughs). We arrived around 9:30 pm, and it was quite crowded compared to our last visit. Luckily, a large table was available, so we were seated right away with five people. We ordered Jim Beam highballs and a Margherita pizza in medium size for 540 yen. Despite the price, the pizza had a rich flavor and was perfect for snacking. We ordered another one since it was so tasty. As more customers arrived, the place quickly filled up, including the counter seats. The board pizzas were devoured in no time. We ordered another one and more highballs. An hour flew by, and before the train color changed from yellow to orange, we decided to head back. Thank you for the meal!

The second stop for drinking in Iidabashi is a popular place known for serving popcorn as a complimentary appetizer! Their pizza is also delicious! Today, I had a highball and an original drink. The drinks are always amazing and the atmosphere is great. A wonderful place!

They are open until 4:00 AM, so if you want to have an all-nighter in Iidabashi, this is the place to go.

(Visited in early May 2018) After leaving the pork skewer restaurant and feeling a bit hungry, we wanted a quiet place to have a leisurely conversation for our second round, so we decided to visit this place. While the Jimbocho location changed from a pizza place to a curry shop, this one has always been a bar-style Italian diner. It has a bright atmosphere, giving off a sports bar vibe. It seems like they changed their business style to match the environment of the location. I have visited the Jimbocho location multiple times, but this was my first time at the Iidabashi location. We arrived around 8:30 pm, and there was only one other couple at the counter when we arrived. We also took seats at the counter. They served us a bucket of popcorn as a complimentary starter (lol). I ordered a Jim Beam highball for 421 yen and a Margherita pizza for 540 yen. The pizza here is cheap and delicious! They don't just bake pre-made pizzas in the oven; they stretch the dough, add toppings, and then bake it. So, it takes a bit of time. The finished pizza is cut and served, and the smell of mozzarella is amazing. The crust is thin, but it's satisfying as a snack. Much better than those Margherita pizzas that cost over 1000 yen! It pairs really well with the Beam highball. "Another one, please!" Two more groups, totaling six people, arrived after us, but the atmosphere in the restaurant remained pleasant and not too noisy. We stayed for about an hour and then paid the bill. It was 3000 yen for the two of us! At 1500 yen each, it was a reasonable second round. I would definitely like to visit this place again! It seems like the perfect spot for a post-party cool down with another drink!

It is a pizza-centered bar located in a semi-basement near Iidabashi Station. I discovered that they have limited quantities of currywurst on their menu, so I decided to check it out. During the time I visited, highballs were priced at 190 yen, which was quite cheap. I ordered a highball and currywurst. The appetizer was popcorn. I sat at the counter next to a group of two girls. The rest of the customers were couples, and the place was moderately busy for a rainy weekday. The currywurst was cooked on a special machine designed for baking pizzas, with sausages placed on a griddle and cooked, then topped with ketchup and curry powder. Currywurst is a German dish, and there are different styles, but this place leaned more towards the former style. The menu advertised the currywurst as "super delicious," but taste is subjective. Personally, I thought it was reasonably good for the price. There were some slightly burnt parts, so I felt that a gentler cooking approach might be better.

I have used the Shibuya and Shinjuku stores several times, but this was my first visit to the Iidabashi store. The location is great as it is right in front of the station. The food menu goes really well with Jim Beam highballs, and I ended up eating too much. Starting to drink from happy hour is very cost-effective. There is also a wide selection of delicious whiskey highballs that are not included in happy hour.

I went to Rats Dining Iidabashi near Iidabashi Station East Exit. It's located on the basement floor, so you go down the stairs directly into the restaurant. The floor was sticky and made a squishy sound as you walked, giving a slightly uncomfortable feeling. The atmosphere was similar to a HUB with table service. There were counter seats and table seats. I noticed there were 4 female and 1 male staff members. The interaction between the customers at the counter and the staff gave off a vibe similar to a girls' bar. Upon entering, the staff greeted me with a high-five. Popcorn was served to other tables. The menu mentioned free refills, but I was told that it's only for items served at the beginning. A beer in a mug cost 390 yen plus tax. The food items were reasonably priced. The octopus carpaccio was 490 yen plus tax, and the spicy potatoes were 490 yen plus tax, although they weren't very spicy. I also had a shrimp dish for 490 yen plus tax, which was made with soft-shell shrimp and was quite tasty. We each had two drinks, and the total bill came to a little over 4500 yen after adding the 390 yen plus tax charge per person and a 10% service charge. The place seemed popular with male customers, and it could be a fun spot for those looking for that kind of atmosphere. It's conveniently located near the station, making it a good stop on the way home. The restroom was unisex, and although it wasn't dirty, it was a bit crowded with tipsy male customers, which made me hesitant to use it as a woman.

In April 2014, I visited a challenging dining bar called "Rats Dining Iidabashi Store" located near Iidabashi Station East Exit. The area is known for having a high turnover rate of shops, but I was hoping this new restaurant would stick around. The energetic young female staff greeted me with a high-five as I entered. The interior had a counter and table seating, with three TV monitors showing sports. I ordered a Hinano beer, followed by a Corona beer and two bottles of red wine. The complimentary popcorn was delicious and I couldn't resist having multiple servings. I tried the Quattro Pizza with honey, the Arrabiata Pizza which was surprisingly spicy, and the Fish and Chips which was a bit oily but went well with beer. Overall, I enjoyed the pizza the most with its chewy crust baked in a high-temperature oven. The imported bottled beers were a nice touch and the free popcorn was a great bonus. It was a casual and enjoyable dining experience.

First post on Tabelog. A bar in Iidabashi. Visited for the second round of a company drinking party, which was relatively young within the company but not considered young in society. We were looking for a place with an Irish bar vibe that could accommodate 10 or more people, and luckily found a nice spot underground. The timing was perfect as they were having a 3-day limited campaign with 99 yen highball drinks! Naturally, we ended up ordering only highballs and drank a lot! - Shrimp Ajillo: The shrimp was big and you could tell they didn't compromise on the shrimp at all from the photos. - Popcorn: I think it was all-you-can-eat. - Mixed nuts, olives, salad, prosciutto: I don't remember much as I drank too much, but it was incredibly cheap!

I didn't have any particular reason to go out, so I decided to try this place instead of going to the usual bar. The food selection was better than I expected, although the quality was a bit hit or miss. The atmosphere and prices were as I had seen before. I was surprised by the large serving of popcorn that came in a bucket, similar to the kaki-pi at M's Bar. I ended up finishing it all without realizing. They had a good variety of highballs, sours, and sweet cocktails, making it a nice place to chat and enjoy a casual drink. It's conveniently located near the station, so it's a good option for affordable drinks in the area. I found out online that it's part of the same group as Kyushu Netchuya and Buon Amore. I had thought Buon Amore was a standalone restaurant.

This restaurant is part of a chain, but I use it because it's close to my workplace. They still serve the usual appetizer, popcorn, which is all-you-can-eat. This day we had a group party so we ordered a course meal. The course included all-you-can-eat pizza and we had quite a lot. I didn't go for seconds of the popcorn, just kept eating the pizza and my stomach was very satisfied. They have a wide variety of drinks including cold and delicious draft beer. I was always worried about the slow service, but maybe ordering a course was a good idea. The cost performance is good, so I will definitely visit again.
