Nelson's

Nelson's Louisville Side is a pub to consider when you want more than a few nibbles. The menu includes substantial dishes such as macaroni gratin with Daisen chicken and mushrooms, stewed hamburger steak, and a baked dish of meat sauce and mashed potato.

The gratin is generously topped with Gruyère and listed at 900 yen. For a cheese-focused meal, there is also thin-crust pizza with washed-rind cheese and Amela tomato sauce (1,200 yen), or grilled chilli con carne with smoked cheese (950 yen). Reviews mention hamburger steak, cutlets and fried chicken, as well as curry and steak; some diners say they enjoyed a proper meal rather than just a light bite.

If you would rather start with a few small plates, options include fresh sausage with mashed potato (1,000 yen) and Jamón Serrano with olives (1,000 yen). Squid braised in tomato sauce with its liver is also on the menu (950 yen). Drinks include beer, wine and whisky, and reviewers have praised the selection of alcoholic drinks.

The menu's wheat beer is 700 yen. It is described as having a banana-like aroma and a mellow flavour from the wheat malt. Draught Guinness is 650 yen, with a creamy head and smooth finish. In Megurohoncho, the pub offers dine-in service and table service. It can suit an evening centred on a meal or one spent over drinks and nibbles.
