Bar & Grill Yebisu is located in China Town in Central Sydney.
This restaurant is located at the intersection of Dixon Street and Little Hay Street.
IZAKAYA food is well known for its trendy tapas-like dishes. We serve smaller portions at our restaurant so that you can enjoy a greater variety of selections from our menu. Another meaning for the word “IZAKAYA” in Japan is “sake dining place”.
Needless to say, we, as an Izakaya, have a great variety of drinks with more than 100 items for you to select. Not only will you find your favourite beer, but you will also find yourself beholding some of the finest Sake, Shochu (or Japanese Vodka) and non-alcoholic Mocktails. Explore and choose your favourites!
