A coworker introduced me to Cock o' the Walk recently. It's a nice British Isles-style pub near in Roppongi, not far from work. They have a pretty good selection of beers on tap and in bottles (see below), and offer full pints for 600 yen during happy hour. Full pints can be a bit rare in Japan, and 600 yen (about $6) is not a bad price for that much beer.

There's live celtic music on the occasional evening (first Wednesdays, maybe) with an older British guy on what looked like a banjo and somewhere between 4 and 8 Japanese on a variety of instruments, including tin whistle and Irish bagpipes. It was good music and a good time.

Beers on tap:
Shepherd Neame 1698 Celebration Ale
Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger (Kentish Strong Ale)
Shepherd Neame Spitfire (Kentish Ale)
Westons Old Rosie Cloudy Scrumpy Premium Cider
Guiness
Heineken

Bottles:
Young's Special Ale
Fuller's London Pride Ale
Fuller's Golden Pride Superior Strength Ale
O'Hanlon's Port Stout
Fuller's Discover Blonde
Fuller's ESB
...plus a few that I couldn't quite make out from my barstool.

They also have a pretty nice looking menu, but I haven't had much off there yet. I've heard a few people rave about the bangers 'n mash, and the fish 'n chips at their sister pub, The Warrior Celt, are supposed to be worth the trip to Ueno.
