“Charming whiskey bar”
We stumbled upon this charming little bar and had an outstanding experience. Only afterwards did I read the bad reviews—so I feel compelled to share a very positive one. Our family of five was greeted at the door by the bartender, who quickly set up a table for us overlooking the river. In the corn...er was a vintage Royal typewriter, pleasant jazz tunes came from the stereo, and there’s a good selection of whiskeys. We were there between 5-7, when there’s no cover charge per seat, and it’s cash only. I’m not sure whether the bartender is new or different from the other reviews, but he couldn’t have been nicer to us.

“Rude bartender. A Place to avoid”
Brutal and savage bartender scolded us when we entered No clear sign about taking the shoes off on the entrance His rudeness made us leave the place at once so beware of this place I have never met any rude japanese ever. I can understand that so many similar people had same experiences in goog...le review Avoid this place unless you like being treated badly

“Great environment and selection, awful hospitality”
Lovely bar, great location, great whisky selection. However, the bartender seemed hell bent on avoiding having any customers. Greeted any new arrivals with an aggressive questioning about the cover charge, payment methods, and so on. Didn’t engage us in conversation. Told me off for touching bottles... lined up on the bar. Possibly the only rude Japanese person we met in 15 days in this wonderful country. Such a shame.

“Poor”
We have been there tonight with my wife... Place is nice and cosy.. Jazz music in the very background... Price are a bit high and you have to pay a 500 yen charge to seat per person... One thing that shocked us, align with the previous comment... All customers (japanese) got snacks with their drinks...... we were not offers any... Maybe we should have asked... Nevertheless this place is average... nice but nothing incredible... Large choice of whisky for sure... but you can find much better for a better price in a better place in Kyoto for sure...

“Perfect ambience along the river”
I went with my wife's family for after dinner drinks. We sat on the "Yuka," which is a raised wooden deck platform which extends beyond the restaurant towards the river. The breeze was pleasant on a hot, humid Kyoto summer night. The staff were perfect and the drinks were great. Not exactly cheap, ...but I think it was a good price for this type of experience in this location. Recommended. Enjoy!
