Rocking Chair - Kyoto

Amazing cocktail bar! I came with a friend on Wednesday night and sat at the bar. All bartenders were friendly and I enjoyed watching them make the drinks for the room. Every action they did seemed full of intent and they were very attentive to the room. If they noticed that you wanted to go to the bathroom, but someone was already there, they would politely say that you wait and then notify if it is ready. If you had conversation with someone about their drink, they'd make the bottles drink. I thought the service was excellent and the bar snacks they served from a good quality. Please note that it is a seating fee of 500 yen, and all classic/speciality cocktails are 1000 yen or more (all important international credit cards seemed to be accepted). Very enjoyed my time here!

What an amazing bar! Had a great experience here with my wife, took the last 2 seats on Monday evening at 9 a.m. (they do not take reservations). There is a cozy fireplace where we sit, which is quite romantic. Then we asked Kindle to move into the counter to see the action. We loved the whole facility, the entrance, bartender, presentation and drinks. I would definitely recommend there special “The Best Séne”. Bartenders spoke English enough to prepare what we liked. Smoking is allowed throughout the bar, but they have good ventilation. 6 drinks ¥500 cover came to appx ¥10500. Would come back!

If you enjoy excellent cocktails, this is absolutely the place to visit. The service here is amazing. The bartenders are good above and above any average or above average cocktail lounge. It is a beautifully illuminated and decorated lounge. The drinks they make are different from everything I've ever had. They are a good number of seats, all of them very nice and cozy. There are also many swing chairs! You don't take reservations, and when I was there, they had to turn people away because the bar was full, so try to come here before busy times if you want your choice of seat. I would be absolutely back if I had only lived in Japan.

There is English written instructions on how to order and how the bar works. The bartender is not fluent in English but still try his best to introduce good whisky and cocktail. Remark, the Gin for Kyoto Gin distillery is very good!

Hands down, simply perfect. Gorgeous interior. It's not only the drinks, too. The pasta I ordered was so well balanced. It made me really happy. Very handsome staff, too. Overall pleasant experience. Highly recommended.
