Franz Club German Pub - Minato

For the price, the quality of the food isn 't quite there. I paid around 8000yen for 2 beers and a meal. The beer was good and was either actually imported or brewed to an acceptable quality, as well as being served in brand specific glassware. The beer, at least, gets a 4/5 (cost bringing it down a notch, expect to pay around 1500Y for 500ml). Unfortunately the same could not be said about the food. Firstly each dish comes on its own which makes a meal quite expensive, and secondly, it was very average. The meat (Schweinshaxe) was reasonable, but the potatoes were undercooked and the sauerkraut was just dreadful. The venue is nice, with relevant decoration, but much smaller than I expected based on the photos I was scoping out the place for a larger group event but it was immediately obvious that it doesn 't really cater for groups larger than 4 people, even without COVID concerns. The ambience was also not quite bierkeller and more shopfront cafe with most of the tables along huge windows overlooking the sidewalk and street outside. Service was friendly and prompt, as to be expected in Japan.

Big German beers and sausages in a cozy bar sign me up!

Portions are not too big, should come standard with some fries or baked potatoes for that price

Stopped in aftergoing to the garden across the street. Had one of the lunches. Wonderful service. Good timing on the various courses. Appetizers and the cold soup were absolutely outstanding. Everything was served in a true German style. I WILL go back when I return to Japan next year and I will order the large beers.

The beer is good. Genuine German beer. Food is also okay.
