The Common One Bar Kyoto

The Common One Bar Kyoto is a cocktail bar tucked in an alley behind a small door off the restaurant street near Gion-Shijo Station in Kyoto. It serves seasonal drinks and a range of spirits, with cocktails ordered at the counter. Past a brass plaque bearing the English name, a narrow path leads to a high-ceilinged bar and a separate room. There are service issues, including foreign customers being directed to corner seats or restricted from entering.
