Ki Bar Ki

One person who tried the matcha beer said they enjoyed it; it reportedly cost about 1,300 yen. It could be a fitting first order at Ki Bar Ki, whose drinks list includes several Kyoto-inspired options. Alongside Ki No Bi Kyoto, there are gins such as Ki No Tea, made with matcha, Ki No Tou, with brown sugar, and Ki No Bai, with plum and berries. Sake is available as a sampler of 3 types, while wine choices include red and white by the glass and prosecco. There is plenty to choose from if you want to try different drinks one at a time or pick something to suit the mood.

Cocktails are on offer too; visitors have mentioned lemon sours and rum and cola. The whisky list includes Japanese names such as Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki, so the selection ranges from mixed drinks to Japanese whisky. The games, music and live performances are part of the experience here, rather than just an accompaniment to a quick drink. One visitor mentioned seeing comedy, making the bar an option for an evening out with drinks and a show. Located in Ishiyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, the bar has terrace seating and is listed as dog-friendly. All-you-can-drink options and drinks happy hour are also advertised; check the terms before making plans with friends.
