Osake No Bijutsukan Sanjo Karasuma Marumoto

This is AMAZING! Many vintage bottles at a very friendly price to try. (Few hundred yen per glass while happy hour) Friendly staff as well. Come here every time I'm in Kyoto!

So this place has bottles of whisky that they have kept since the 70s. On the shelf. Do you want to try a Suntory or Johnnie Walker who was already 12 in 1980? This is the place. Talk of Retro. The owners must update the list to include the name Retro Pub. Just say. If Google cannot tell you where you are, do you exist? Great place. Good music, cozy atmosphere. Chandelier. Very Asian, in the sense that you can't sit at the bar. You have a bar that is very pub-like, but no seats. Okay, good. Nice smoking room. I wish they had local craft brews on draft. Perfect place for it.

Happy hour is very important here, but also a glass Hibiki 21 for 2000¥ is great to try. The atmosphere is usually supported by wall coverings decorated with one of the best bottle displays I have seen.

Vintage whisky from ancient times. I tried the 1970/1980 johnny walker black, who were big and they were so cheap. Please do not hesitate to ask for a special whisky or cognac, they will never leave you down. Bar bites is great, but I miss the roasted chicken with Ponzu Mayonnaise when I first visited this place. Unfortunately they have taken it from the menu

Very nice bar. The atmosphere is very nice to enjoy a good whisky. And they have a lot of them. The price also good. They have also really tasty Japanese draft beer.
