16’s Stairing Steps Case

Located on the second floor, this confoundingly named beer bar overlooks Waseda-dori and specialises in Belgian product. Around six beers are on tap at any given time – on our visit, the selection included everything from rarities like McChouffe, a strong dark ale, to more standard choices like Chimay Rouge. The impressive bottle selection on one of the walls is also fun to check out. Guest beers from local heavyweights like Baird are available, while those playing it safe can go for Kirin’s Heartland. Note that the bar has a 'No Students' sign out front – we're not sure how serious they are about enforcing the policy, but you might want to refrain from getting drunk out of your mind and singing the Waseda school song here.
