I just realized I didn't include the why (i.e. what you could do with 
this information)?  You could use this information to

* find all pubs[1] in general area.
* find the nijikai location.
* find the closest pub selling X beer.
* find all pubs rated by X
* find pubs open at a specific time.
* find the next closest pubs to the station.
* plot all pubs in a given location[2].

and all based on information by people you know.

1. replace pub with pub/izakaya/tachinomi
