The Takadanobaba branch of Kentucky Fried Chicken was recently renovated, with its grand reopening on April 1, 2016. Among other things, it’s now got a stylish new exterior and interior.

Look closely, and you’ll see that next to the door is an announcement that it’s a café and bar, and that’s the truth.

After 5 p.m., this KFC starts selling alcohol!

It’s not like they just keep a couple cans of Asahi chilling in the refrigerator, either. No fewer than 17 beers are on offer, including a selection of Japanese regional craft brews.

You can even ask the staff to whip you up a cocktail, such as the highball-like Colonel’s Hi, made with Suntory whisky and priced at ¥460 (US$4.10).

This being KFC, of course there’s a steady supply of fried chicken flowing from the kitchen.

But the menu isn’t afraid to also get a little fancier than plain old Original Recipe. For example, there’s also chicken cordon blue ratatouille (¥680 [US$6.20])...

...smoked chicken pepperoncino pasta (¥700 [$6.40])...

...and snacks such as this mixed olive plate (¥380 [$3.50]).

Right now this is the only KFC in Japan that serves alcohol, and is well worth a visit if you’re looking for another place to combine your love of alcoholic beverages and comforting fast food.
