01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

In Shinseicho, Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, BAR BUDDY lights up every Wednesday night from 20:00 until 24:00 in the space usually occupied by Takimono Ebisu. Operating just one evening a week, it has earned appreciation from guests who value the bartender's poised, welcoming hospitality.

The counter and tables are stocked with beer alongside a wider lineup of alcoholic drinks, complemented by food and attentive table service. Seat reservations are accepted, making it easy to plan ahead when looking for a quiet drink in the middle of the week.

Payment is cash only, with no support for QR code services or transit IC cards. Because there is no private customer parking, planning to arrive via public transport or nearby coin-operated parking lots with cash in hand ensures a smooth visit.
