The Harbour Tavern

Great slice of Britain in Japan

Owned and run by a Brit, this is the place to go in Kobe for good, hearty food and drink from back home. They have a wide choice of menu items from sausages to chicken parmigiana to pizza to fajitas, so there's bound to be something for everyone. I recommend the Sunday roast (lamb, beef or a mix) served after 3pm on Sundays for 1400 yen. They also sell Aspall cider in 3/4 or full pint servings, which is a rarity in Japan. They allow smoking. You can open a tab or pay as you go, which is very convenient for parties.
