Sapporo Lion Beer Hall in Ginza

Before we had a Choco-Ring from the Heart Bread Company, Antique, we went to a Sapporo Lion Beer Hall in Ginza.

This is the inside of the store.
They are using red brick for the wall which is more like a western style and the you just feel like you are in Germany drinking beer or something!HAHA
This is the ceiling and tiling.
The ceiling was soooo high! it's a really huge place.
It's been like 76 years or something since this Beer Hall was build.
It's really old but beautiful:))
Red Brick + Lamps = pretty!
HAHAHA
There are many pictures and posters on the wall which was taken or published more than 70years ago!
The details of the wall just reminded me of the church in Germany:))
aahhh I miss Germany and my family...
Sorry ladies, needed picture for my blog.
so under the tiling picture, there is a kitchen where they prepare meals/beers for the customers;))
Near the exit.
It's a big hall with almost 100 tables and it's kind of crowded but really nice place!
We went to eat like 4:00 pm and I could see many range of people from babies to old people!
Because it was the last day of the Golden Week, many families were there too to have some family-time late-lunch:))
This store is open from 11:30-23:00 (Mon-Sat) and on Sunday or other holiday, it is open from 11:30-22:30. And the lunch time is a 11:30-14:00pm
Many people were ordering this Garlic Bread so did we!HAHA
My mom got a Black Beer and I got a Perrier Water:P
And some fried potatoes from Hokkaido:))
(Hokkaido is the famous place for Potato/Sea Food/and what else?)
My father is from Hokkaido but he hates Potatoes.LOL
Goshh I can't believe I ate all of this and went for the Choco-Ring...
ABSOLUTELY TOO MUCH CALORIES.

View from the entrance.
It is said that this Ginza's Sapporo Lion Beer Hall is the birthplace of Beer Hall in Japan. This hall was build in 1934 and then the idea of Beer Hall or Beer Garden spread to other place in Japan.
oh and according to the source, many Beer-pouring masters were produced from this place:D HAHA
So if you are going to drink beer, you better come here in Ginza and taste the real good Japanese beer:))

Outside of the beer hall.
Shiiit, this lady is on the way.LOL
But you can see the huge Yebisu Beer cans at least:))
