Bar Ixey

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.
