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.

3. Suntory Building Rooftop Beer Garden
Suntory Building Rooftop Beer Garden has been loved by a lot of local people since Suntory established its headquarter office in Dojima in 1971. It’s located at the center of the office town, surrounded by much greenery like a garden terrace.
In addition to its iconic beer “The Premium Malt’s”, there is a beer hall where you can customize beer to your favorite flavor. Of course, there are a variety of options for non-alcoholic drinks. There are 3 courses for food: Korean-style BBQ, Beer Garden BBQ, and Premium BBQ. Korean-style BBQ includes beef bulgogi with lots of cheese. Beer Garden BBQ is a standard BBQ course including 3 kinds of meat. If you want to enjoy both meat and seafood, you should go with the Premium BBQ course. One of the best Japanese beers must make BBQ more tasty and juicy.

5. Senri Hankyu Hotel Poolside Beer Garden
Senri Hankyu Hotel was built in 1970 when Japan World Exposition Osaka was held. It’s located at the center of the Toyonaka-Senri area that has convenient access to the city and the airport. The appearance and interior of the building remind you of the history of more than 50 years.
The hotel has a poolside beer garden, “asoba NIGHT”. You can enjoy a lot of interesting food and drinks at the poolside. Under the concept of “asobi (meaning enjoy)”, a variety of creative foods are available, such as drinkable croquettes and apple jelly that resembles beer. In addition to BBQ beef, there are also international dishes such as Singapore, Korea, and China. 4 different kinds of beers are available, as well as Korean and Chinese drinks.
Some events are going on there. You can enjoy a Samba performance every Tuesday. If you put on green stuff somewhere in your body you can get a discount on Mondays and Wednesdays.

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.
