Rocking Chair - Kyoto

The bar mixes the vibe and the decor of a speech lesson with Japanese architecture and culture. What more do you want from a bar that has beautifully designed cocktails with a rocking chair (yes, they have a few in there, and you should definitely get one). But if the cocktails and decorations were not enough, they also have great food. Would definitely recommend rice gratin. If you want an izakaya experience, but very high, this is the place for you.

This was one of the most unforgettable food experiences of my trip. This language type bar/restaurant is top class! Very affordable for quality and take care of them in any dish and drink. Also not shown was the Kyoto Gin martini and seasonal cobbled vegetables, which are beautifully paired together. Her cocktails are balanced and nothing I had was excessively sweet. My recommendation: early here! They fill up quickly and when you come too late, they will turn you away. They are foreigners friendly and have an English menu.

Amazing cocktail bar! I came on a Wednesday night with a friend and was seated at the bar. All of the bartenders were friendly and I enjoyed watching them make the drinks for the room. Every action they did seemed filled with intention and they were very observant of the room. If they noticed you wanted to go to the bathroom but someone was already there, they would politely tell you to wait and then notify you when it’s ready. If you were conversing with someone about their drink, they would bring the bottles used to make the drink to you. I thought the service was excellent and the bar snacks they served of a great quality. Please note that their is a seating fee of 500 yen, and all classic/specialty cocktail drinks are 1000 yen or more (all major international credit cards seemed to be accepted). Greatly enjoyed my time here!

If you enjoy excellent cocktails, this is absolutely the place to visit. The service here is amazing. The bartenders are good above and above any average or above average cocktail lounge. It is a beautifully illuminated and decorated lounge. The drinks they make are different from everything I've ever had. They are a good number of seats, all of them very nice and cozy. There are also many swing chairs! You don't take reservations, and when I was there, they had to turn people away because the bar was full, so try to come here before busy times if you want your choice of seat. I would be absolutely back if I had only lived in Japan.

I visited bars in New York, to London, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Tokyo this was the best one so far. The flair, quality of the drinks and the Tiramisú ! are outstanding. Thank you for this great night.
