Kyoto Bar Jam

Kyoto Bar Jam is a music bar in a basement in central Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, playing punk, R&B, and soul. It remixes old-school hip-hop and music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s on vinyl, with live DJ mixes on Fridays and Saturdays. The owner and bartender speak English and Korean and offer local recommendations, and guests who come alone can enjoy the music. The basement space is small, so it is a little cramped for dancing.
