Restaurant in Beppu, Japan
Oita Ingredient Tavern
Bepper's Tavern sits on the third floor of Plaza Ichiban-gai, a short walk from Beppu Station — making it one of the more accessible late-evening options in an onsen city where most kitchens close early. Booking is easy, the format is casual, and it works for solo diners, pairs, or a low-key special occasion. Confirmed pricing and menu details are limited; arrive with flexibility.
If you are looking for a late-night option in Beppu after the ryokan dining hour has passed and the resort town has gone quiet, Bepper's Tavern occupies the third floor of Plaza Ichiban-gai, right in front of Beppu Station. That address matters: it puts the venue within easy reach whether you have just arrived by train or are winding down after an evening at the hot springs. For a special occasion dinner or a date night that runs past standard restaurant hours, this is a practical anchor to know about in a city where late dining options are limited.
Bepper's Tavern sits in Ekimae Honmachi, the commercial district immediately facing Beppu Station's west exit. The station-front location makes it more accessible than venues deeper in the city's resort pockets, and a third-floor position typically means separation from street noise — a consideration worth noting for anyone planning a conversation-heavy dinner or a business meal. Beppu is primarily known as an onsen destination rather than a dining destination, so a tavern-style venue near the station serves a real gap: somewhere to eat and drink after the baths, after a long travel day, or late into the evening when most other kitchens have closed.
Because confirmed data on cuisine type, pricing, and hours is not available in Pearl's current database, specific menu or price-point claims would be speculative. What the address confirms is the format: a third-floor tavern in a station-front commercial building, which in Beppu typically signals a casual, convivial room rather than a formal dining experience. If you are planning a celebration dinner requiring a set kaiseki course or a wine-forward special occasion, venues in Oita City — including Aji Arai in Oita , offer more documented credentials for that occasion type.
Beppu's dining scene compresses early. Onsen resorts serve dinner between 6 and 8 PM, and neighbourhood restaurants follow similar patterns. A station-front tavern in a commercial building is structurally positioned to trade later than resort dining rooms, making Bepper's Tavern a logical candidate if you need somewhere to eat after 9 PM or want to keep the evening going after the baths.

Nearby options worth knowing: Hatano and 日本料理 奈加川 廣徳 are two other Beppu dining references tracked by Pearl. For regional context across Kyushu, Goh in Fukuoka represents the leading end of what the island offers in a more dining-focused city.
Reservations: Booking difficulty is rated Easy , walk-in is likely viable, particularly for solo diners or pairs, though calling ahead is advisable for groups or special occasion visits given the limited contact information currently available. Dress: No dress code data available; a tavern format in a station-front commercial building suggests smart casual is appropriate. Budget: Price range not confirmed , budget for a mid-range izakaya or tavern spend as a working assumption until you can confirm on arrival or by phone. Access: Third floor, Plaza Ichiban-gai, 1-4 Ekimae Honmachi, Beppu , a short walk from Beppu Station's west exit.

Comparing Bepper's Tavern directly to the ¥¥¥¥ venues in Pearl's Beppu peer set is not especially useful , HAJIME, Harutaka, L'Effervescence, RyuGin, and Crony are all high-investment, advance-booking destination venues operating in major Japanese cities. Bepper's Tavern addresses a different need entirely: accessible, lower-friction dining in an onsen resort town, positioned for late-evening use after the formal resort dining hour has ended.
