Kawagoe Beer Kurabar

Kawagoe Beer Kurabar is a brewpub in the Crea Mall area of Kawagoe serving Coedo, the town's locally brewed craft beer brand whose name references Kawagoe's own Edo-period nickname, 'Koedo' or 'Little Edo'. The beer flight lets diners sample Coedo's range, from pale, hop-forward styles to darker, roastier brews, paired with bar food built around the region's signature ingredients: sweet potato fries served with a miso dip connect the menu to Kawagoe's famous satsumaimo, while grilled Fukaya negi skewers bring in the neighboring city's celebrated sweet winter leek. The dining room has the casual, slightly industrial feel typical of a craft brewpub, with high-top tables, exposed fixtures, and a menu board highlighting rotating seasonal Coedo releases alongside the regular lineup. The atmosphere turns lively and noisy in the evening, particularly on weekends, as groups gather for beer flights and shared plates rather than a quiet sit-down meal. There is no extensive wine list -- the beer program is the draw -- and reservations are recommended for larger groups given the pub's popularity with both locals and visitors curious to try Coedo beer at its source city. It closes on Sundays and opens for dinner only, from 5PM to 11PM.
