Our favorite Chigasaki watering hole was closed today, so we relocated to MacKenDy Brewery craft beer and pizza in nearby Tsujido, Kanagawa Prefecture. It’s been open three years and word of it had drifted in from time to time, but I’d never made it there.
They brew, and we all thought it was excellent--the Double IPA was somewhere in the zone of Baird’s Suruga Bay, which is my highest praise. Plus the made-to-order pizza and a laid back Shonan beach town vibe means this is somewhere I’ll be revisiting often. One more point for weekend insomniacs is a 5 a.m. closing time on Fridays and Saturdays! The trains start then, so here is a hangout for anyone anywhere. [update below]
To find another congenial, sublime place in one’s neighborhood--what a joy!

Directions: come out of the West Exit of Tsujido Station (the small exit on the Chigasaki end of the platform). Turn left to take you south of the tracks. Go down to street level and turn right (toward Chigasaki). MacKenDy is a couple of minutes walk on the right side (you’ll see the brewing tanks in the window).
