You had us at hirata steamed buns and Japanese beer. Arrive at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and wonder where the hell BarChick’s sent you. Trust us, you’re in the right place, just follow the dark corridor scribbled with chalk graffiti (see if you can spot BarChick’s mark) and climb the stairs.

Enter a pitch black warehouse space with black walls, barrel tables and people playing on retro pinball machines and fuseball tables. Grab a Japanese beer and get involved. They’ve got an amazing selection of Japanese craft beer, some good sake and also a couple of frozen cocktails – big up the Yuzu Margarita, it’ll hit the spot. If you wanna kick the evening off properly do as BarChick did and start with a Soju Bomb, served on a drum it’s a shot of soju balanced over a glass of beer, bang the drum and sink it Jagerbomb style. Kanpai!

Aside from the beers, the food is where it’s at. Tuck into the stickiest Korean BBQ style wings known to man and pillow-soft fluffy hirata buns stuffed with slow-cooked meats like pork belly and chicken. Prepare to get messy!
