Kyoto, Japan｜Gear

Very cool bar with great ambience. Very cool and hip vibe. Music was fantastic, a combination of chill reggae beats and classic rock like The Stones and Bowie. Bartender was very kind and welcoming, mixing us excellent cocktails (even looked up a recipe for a drink I requested that he wasn’t familiar with). He was very patient with us despite our inability to speak Japanese. Finally, the cocktails were very well made. This felt like a hidden gem I was very happy to find.

Great vibes, great music with a very accommodating bartender and great service. They do classic cocktails on request, we had a Manhattan and old fashioned which were fantastic. They do have a cover but the drinks are reasonably priced.

When you enter a bar and see the owner changing the LP record playing, you already know you are in a great place. Cozy, beautiful decor, friendly staff. Even when the bar is small, the look and feel will make you feel welcome at all times. This is absolutely a place worth a visit. We received a gift (pictures) by the owner just because we offered our sits to a bigger group. Such a lovely gesture of him!!
