東京都写真美術館, Tokyo-to Shashin Bijutsukan
A must for fans of photography, with multiple floors of constantly changing exhibitions of the best photography from around Japan and the world.
former Beer Museum
A mildly interesting permanent exhibition covering the brewing process in general and the history of Japan Beer Brewery Company which developed Yebisu beer, and which is now a part of Sapporo Breweries. There is even a Virtual Brewery Adventure to try.
パイレーツ・オブ・東京湾
Tokyo's long-running English and Japanese improv comedy group has performed unscripted shows at What the Dickens! since 2010. The international cast takes audience suggestions in both languages and builds scenes on the spot using physical comedy and pantomime, keeping things accessible regardless of language ability. Book tickets online in advance as shows can sell out.
兜
Charcoal grill (sumibiyaki) restaurant that looks way more expensive than it actually is. Not a bad choice just for drinks either, which start at ¥400 for a draft beer.
キムカツ
A cutlet shop. The special cheese cutlet is recommended.
A small standing bar with many high quality varieties of sake available in cup-size bottles: great for tasting several from all over Japan. All sake is initially served cold, but the staff will warm each cup to your desired temperature.
A British pub where there's always football on the telly.
One of Tokyo's best-known and oldest-running nightclubs, although it used to be in Kabukichō before 2004.
An extremely popular British pub in the heart of Ebisu. Fairly expensive (anything imported costs close to ¥1000), but has one of the best selections of British beer and cider in town.
in Ebisu Garden Place
You can try a lot of beer at a low price.
A small restaurant on the second floor of an unassuming building behind the Ebisu Station; it features fresh fish and a large selection of sake. The menus are in Japanese but the staff speaks English.
Capsule hotel.
ホテルエクセレント恵比寿
Affordable and clean business hotel, with a total of 127 rooms (single, double, and twin). Breakfast is available at an additional charge.
ウェスティンホテル東京
Slick 5-star hotel. Renewal completed in Dec 2023.
Has its fair share of boutiques. The Beer Museum's souvenir shop deserves a special mention.
Moved to Gotanda.
