Great selection of japanese craft beer. Cool vibe and staff. Kinda disappointed with the potato salad though.
This place is awesome! Super friendly staff, cheap prices, and awesome food and drinks. Standing room only and it gets really packed, but its worth it to immerse yourself in Kyoto.
A cosy little gem offering a nice selection of beers and a view of the riverside.
Authentic Sake Bar with very good quality products, full with locals and friendly with us as turists. We loved the Tuna sashimi, but there are some things that are not on the enligsh menu - just ask
One of those old bars with a Great collection of sake. English menu available upon request. Bar food is good. Quick service. Smoking is allowed.
Really cool place. Only opened recently but does a great selection of craft beer and sake. Often has tap take-overs too. Great snacks.
It's a small bar with only four seats, but awesome cocktails and G&Ts, with a large collection of gins and tonics to choose from.
Quite, upscale whiskey and beer bar. The back room offers traditional mat seating. This place has a great ambiance that embodies more of a traditional Japan and less of the touristy areas of Kyoto.
Love this place - learned a lot about the sake we were tasting and the bartender was enthusiastic to share his thoughts. A great place to go!
Beer is expensive, around 1000 yen a pint, but it’s a good selection. Nachos are very a good choice to have some food. Service is the best. They don’t take cards, just cash.
Sake bar created by a chef from a famous traditional Japanese restaurant. Buried in a tiny alley off Pontocho
Hidden cocktail bar with a very talented bartender. Might need a recommendation from another bar
Excellent jazz bar in Gion. No live music but an immense record collection on vinyl
Craft beer and sake are fantastic! And the staff is super friendly and speaks English!
Another great craft beer place in Kyoto with 10 taps with local beer. The food and the stuff are great as well!
Adorable 2nd floor cocktail bar- or is it magic shoppe?! Walk up the flight of stairs to find out what treats Christophe and team have in store for you.
