  • Price¥600–1,300 ($4–8.70)

New River-Side Air is a laid-back American-style bar and café in Yonago City that stands out from the region's mostly Japanese-style izakaya and sake-focused bars. The interior favors a casual diner-and-bar hybrid look, with booth and counter seating, and draws a crowd interested in Western-style food and drink, including younger locals and expatriates in the Yonago area. There is no dress code, and the atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, without a strict late-night party focus.

New River-Side Air

New River-Side Air is a laid-back American-style bar and café in Yonago City that stands out from the region's mostly Japanese-style izakaya and sake-focused bars. The interior favors a casual diner-and-bar hybrid look, with booth and counter seating, and draws a crowd interested in Western-style food and drink, including younger locals and expatriates in the Yonago area. There is no dress code, and the atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, without a strict late-night party focus. The menu centers on hamburgers and other American comfort food alongside a wide range of craft beer and Western-style cocktails, distinguishing the drinks list from the sake- and shochu-heavy menus typical elsewhere in Tottori Prefecture. Background music leans toward Western pop and rock rather than the enka or generic pop found in many local izakaya. New River-Side Air runs from around 18:00 to midnight, closed on Mondays, with weekend evenings busier than weeknights. There is no cover charge, and reservations are not generally necessary outside of larger groups.
