Great bar, with lots of cocktails, and great jazz music. The decoration is also very nice, for a charming atmosphere. It would have been perfect without the noisy american girls, or the super rude american guy sniffing around the whisky bottles and whistling like he's alone on earth. Price per person: ¥1,000–2,000

Hidden away in Kyoto’s Pontocho district, this retro jazz bar feels like stepping back in time the moment you open the door. The atmosphere is wonderfully nostalgic — dim lighting, timeless music, and the kind of character that only a place with real history can have. I was told the bar has been open for 51 years, and you can absolutely feel that legacy in the best possible way. It’s not a manufactured “retro” aesthetic — it’s authentic, warm, and deeply rooted in Kyoto’s old nightlife culture. If you love good music, classic bars, and places with soul, this is the kind of spot you’ll remember long after your trip ends. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly local Kyoto night experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nice old style jazz bar with a lovely atmosphere and two sections. Bar seating as you enter and then a dining and drinking section, with a view of the Kamo River. Like many jazz bars across Japan, Hello Dolly boasts a solid vintage sound system. Cocktails and drinks are reasonably priced. Price per person: ¥1,000–2,000 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
