This sports bar is exceptionally proud of their gourmet burger that tastes as good as it looks. It boasts an urban interior design and features four large-screen monitors that always broadcast one sports event, like soccer, baseball, and rugby!

The bar has made special efforts to ensure all customers can enjoy their sports viewing wherever they may be seated. This is especially evident during important national matches, where you feel genuinely united with fellow fans in this most conducive environment.

The bar's signature dish is burgers, of which you'll find about ten different types that will collectively appeal to all sorts of taste buds, like the "Avocado Burger (1,380 yen, tax excluded)" and "Fried Chicken Burger (1,180 yen, tax excluded)".

These gourmet burgers are prepared with carefully chosen ingredients, and the shop's logo is branded onto the buns, making the entire platter visually unique and appealing. The burger patty is made using meat minced in two different ways, giving it a juicy texture that reminds you of steak, yet is easy to chew.

If you're having a cheeseburger, note the lusciously thick cheddar cheese on the patty and how creamy it feels with every bite. By the way, you can get a refill of fries if you ask. You'll never have to worry about leaving this bar on an empty stomach, that's for sure!

When night falls, a light food menu also becomes available, so even if your stomach is at maximum capacity after one of their delicious burgers, feel free to get some finger food to go with your beer as you watch your favorite sports event being broadcast on the screens!

It's so spacious that even at full seating capacity, there is much elbow room to go around, and this is one of the bar's major selling points.
