Summer is coming!!
There are a lot of summer attractions such as fireworks festivals, going to the beach, and BBQs in Osaka. And if you’re a big fan of beer, why not go to beer gardens? Beer garden is a place where you can drink various beers with tasty foods under the sky during summer. Cold beer refreshes your sweaty body during the daytime and makes you comfortable at night time.
These days more and more beer gardens open in a variety of spots such as rooftops of buildings and riverside in Japan. Now I’m going to introduce the 5 best beer gardens in Osaka.
1. “R” Riverside Grill & Beer Garden
“R” Riverside Grill & Beer Garden is located in the rose garden of Nakanoshima Park. You can enjoy BBQ and beer along the Doshima River and the Tosabori River.

There are also seats under the roof, so you don’t need to worry about the weather.
In addition to beers, it serves whisky, cocktails, and Japanese sake as well. There are 3 courses for food: Korean-style BBQ, premium BBQ, and lunch BBQ. You can choose the one depending on your preference!!

Did you find somewhere you want to try?
In my opinion, I recommend Senri Hankyu Hotel Poolside Beer Garden because it has a lot of interesting events during the beer garden season. You could get a more unique and exciting experience. I also like drinking during day time under the sun as I can feel hotness and cool down my body with a cold beer at the same time.
