BAR CRAFT

The cocktail bar is tucked into an alley in Gion, Kyoto, and serves matcha Old Fashioneds, shiso cocktails, and seasonal fruit cocktails. Its Irish coffee is brewed with beans ground to order. A menu monitor outside shows the offerings, while the first floor has a counter and private tatami rooms and the second floor has sofa and floor-seating areas. Smoking is allowed in the second-floor seating area, so avoid it if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke.
