Where the concierge points people first
- Dubliners Irish Pub — The Shinjuku branch of the Dubliners, a Tokyo chain with several pubs on this list including one in Ikebukuro. Reliable Guinness on draught and easy to find near the station. (35.6911, 139.7025)
- CELTS 八重洲店 — Celts on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station, which the directory also lists under its English name. Useful for a pint while waiting for a Shinkansen or a highway bus. (35.6807, 139.7711)

- Irish Pub Scéal eile — A small Irish pub in Sumida, on the east side of the city. Out of the central crowds, and its name means another story in Irish. (35.6952, 139.7929)

European sport lands in Tokyo around midnight
Japan is nine hours ahead of London in winter and eight in summer, and it never changes its clocks. A Saturday 3pm kick-off in England starts at midnight in Tokyo in winter and 11pm in summer, and evening Six Nations or Champions League games can land in the small hours. Irish pubs here will often stay open for a big game, but not always, and closing time is up to each pub, so check ahead before planning a night around it. Indoor smoking is banned in most Tokyo bars with staff under the metropolitan ordinance.
