Great rooftop bar find! Has a nice overlook of Kyoto. I can only imagine how pretty it looks during sunset/evening. We came and it wasn’t too busy- so probably caught it during a good time. They offer variety of cocktails and offer some food options as well!

I had a decent experience overall. The drinks were okay; it wasn't bad, but it didn't really stand out either. 🍜 The atmosphere provided a nice setting with good views of the city at night. ✨🌃

Cute rooftop bar with great views of the city, especially during sunset. It was pretty crowded when we went and was hard to find a table. They had all the classic cocktails, and I enjoyed the fresh ingredients/fruit in my mango mojito.

Loved this rooftop find! Went after dark and could enjoy my mojito listening to buskers by the river and watching the lit up buildings. ¥1200 for a mojito, not a huge cocktail list but enough to keep most people happy. Kitchen was closed so couldn’t get a nibble unfortunately. Had some heaters and blankets if you felt the chill. Cool vibe even though it was pretty quiet when I went on a Tuesday night. I would have gone to watch the sunset but they aren’t open early enough for sunset at this time of the year (winter). Love a rooftop bar and this one was worth the visit!

Short: Staff are rude. This place fails at the basics. The food is OK at best. View are good. Long: staff wouldn't allow us to look around to see if there was space for 2, as the place was packed. Forced us to order first. Even though two people ordered four dishes and a glass of wine, staff said we must order another drink otherwise we can't stay. Stood for 5mins as no seats were available, a couple left and gave us their table, thankfully. Food came, no dry or wet napkins offered. No water offered. White wine was OK. The chicken 6pc was good. The chilli garlic fries have zero garlic, the chillis consist of clumps of peri peri salt and wet (from brine) jarred jalapenos on top (bad). Truffle fries weren't bad. All fries were warm and soft (not hot and crispy). Would not recommend.
