Tabelog ratingHUB Ginza Corridor (HUB 銀座コリドー店) is a branch of the popular British-style pub chain, located on the lively, bar-lined Ginza Corridor street. It offers a familiar and reliable pub experience, making it a go-to for locals and visitors looking for a casual drink, a place to watch sports on screen, or a sociable stop before or after dinner in the area.
Guests consistently praise the house HUB Ale, served in pints or three-quarter pints, and the generous large-format cocktails, like the 'tower' cocktails and jumbo gin and tonics, which are especially good value during happy hour. The atmosphere is frequently described as lively and friendly, with helpful staff, making it easy to strike up a conversation with other patrons while watching a match.
The main drawback is its size. The pub is small and often becomes crowded and noisy, particularly on weekend evenings. Seating is limited, and much of the space is for standing. Some reviewers note that the vibe can be party-heavy and that the pub doesn't always show every requested sports match.
Expect to spend around ¥2,000–¥2,999. Reviewers recently paid approximately ¥1,000 for a pint of HUB Ale, ¥760 for a three-quarter pint, and around ¥470 for a jumbo gin and tonic during happy hour. For a casual drink in Ginza, it offers very good value.
