Bulldog is a "world-bar" - the decor is primarily wooden, giving a sense of an Irish pub, UK tavern or a bar you might see in Anywhere USA -- excepts that it's located inside on the second floor of a mega-mall.
You wouldn't know it though once inside; decorating the walls are miscellaneous beer branded posters which don't give insight to a particular regional theme, knick-knacks adorn the ceiling cross-beams and an array of glasses hang by their stems above the bar.
Although typical in many ways- this is not a bland or boring bar by any means; its located in the heart of Ginza (think 5th Ave on steroids), has decent prices, and is hosted by a very friendly staff whom all of speak English enough to guarantee you get what you ordered. When I stumped a waitress with a question the Bartender was more than welcome to come out from behind the bar and explain to me the differences between two similar beers.
What I also really like about this bar is the opportunity to "people watch" - one of my favorite drinking activities. Looming over Sotobori Dori provides a scenic view of the bustling street which never ceases in activity or entertainment.But I really go here for the beer, of which Bulldog offers at any given time 4 taps devoted to jibiru; here are some of the beers I have been sober enough at the time to document:
Kinshachi - IPA
Kinshachi - Weizenbock
Fujizakura Kogen - Octoberfest Weizen
Baeren - Rye
