Bar Ixey
About
Perched on the third floor in Higashiyama, Bar Ixey is a masterclass in Kyoto's legendary cocktail scene, run by a welcoming husband-and-wife duo. Expect bespoke, artfully crafted drinks made with seasonal Japanese fruits, premium local gin, and rare whiskies, all tailored to your personal taste. The intimate, dimly lit space offers a serene escape from the Gion crowds without the intimidating atmosphere of some high-end bars.
Insider Tip
There is no menu here; just tell the bartender your favorite spirits and flavor profiles (sweet, bitter, herbal) to get a custom creation.
