SHINJUKU: Beer and Cafe BERG... hidden gem at Food Pocket in Shinjuku Station "Lumine East"

We were in Shinjuku for the TOPSHOP opening reception but wanted to be fashionably late.  So where to grab a light drink/meal in Shinjuku?  I'm not one to randomly enter a restaurant because I'd rather spend the same money on something tasty.  Checked the trusty Foodie Website and we came across BERG that had a great ranking of 3.69.

Took a peek inside and noticed quite a few smokers...hmmm... wasn't in the mood to smell like a chimney before the party.  But our choices were few and pressed for time.

System is you pay for your food first then take it to a table much like a cafeteria.  The food started at only a few hundred yen... so so reasonable.  And draft beer was only 300yen.

They sold beer tickets.  3000yen for 10 and get one extra.

Small non-smoking section?  Great!



3 beers and 5 plates of food for about 3,000yen.  Everything was excellent for the price.

We are going to have to try the White Sausages next time.

This is the perfect place to start off the evening or even to hit up after a long days work.  Staff was extremely friendly and food was so reasonable.  Here are some photo's of the Food and Interior and Exterior.  I'd highly recommend giving this place a try if you are ever in Shinjuku.
