Kyoto, Japan｜Bar K6

This was a jewel to visit during our Kyoto trip. The staff was so knowledgeable, respectful and friendly. The whiskey collection is top notch. Calling it just a bar is an understatement - the food is some of the best in Kyoto. Personal favorite: garlic bread and omelette rice. Highly recommend!

One of the best known bars in Kyoto. A lot of the former apprentices here have gone on to open their own bars. One of them is Bar Rocking Chair. The 2nd floor has 2 main areas. To the left is a more private area for regulars. I think it is where the owner still bartends. To the right is where normal customers go. This is a very well stocked bar. Lots of rare bottles. Their spirits selection is very impressive for a bar better known as a cocktail bar. A bar I'd like to get to know more in the future.

A great bar with a classic style. Wide variety of local spirits. I actually had the best old fashioned in my life yet here! They allow ordering food and drinks until 2 am which is a plus. They don't have a cocktail menu so you need to tell the bartenders what you want which is a bit confusing but the staff is very attentive and fluent in English. And an extra thanks to Kenzo for the drinks and conversation! The only minus was that the place smells like smoke and it gets caught in the clothes so I'd give the place a 4.5\5.
