The Bridge - Furano

Bar was empty, we ordered drinks, the non Japanese waiter asked our wives to order drinks as well (or leave ?! . never been in such an unpleasant place.

The Bridge Bar is fantastic. The owner and staff are tremendously accommodating and will introduce you to other patrons both local and from afar. The owner is happy to provide you with helpful information and recommendations for your stay in Furano. A number of locals like coming here to converse and practice their English with English speaking patrons and they are more than happy to return the favour for those wanting to practice their Japanese. The bar is stocked with a great selection of beverages both local and imported including draught and bottled beer, spirits and cocktails. You can enjoy your time by just sitting at the bar chatting or you can play pool or darts. The bar is warm and cosy perfect for Apres Ski either on your own or with a group. The Bridge is a ‘must visit’ while in Furano. Very highly recommended.

We went there for a beer in the afternoon. really expensive, we paid for a draft beer 8500 yen. the bar lady was not really friendly. would not recommend to go there.

The bridge is great. A classic style bar in a sea of izakaya. Sit and bar and chat with other patrons. The welcoming staff are always on-the-ball with making introductions. Darts and pool are available for those inclined. A long list of imported and domestic beers is available as well as an extensive cocktail menu. With the recent founding of local breweries, more and more more local beer is available also, which is great to see and taste.

Our group of 6 had a wonderful time at this welcoming bar! We ended up going 3 nights in a row. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about local culture, things to do, and his liquors and will make you stellar cocktails alongside the interesting local beer on tap. 11/10 experience would recommend an after dinner stop!
