Stopped in for Christmas dinner while visiting Kyoto with my family. The beer was in fine condition, though I was saddened to see that there Rogue selection had been finished off right befroe we arrived. They had a decent selection of Rogue bottles, plus three Minoh brews on tap that night. Also had the normal Guinness and Kilkenny. The food was all great. My burger was delicious and I also had a slice of the pizza, which was also excellent. I wish they would expand their tap lineup a little bit, but I really can’t complain with the level of service and overall atmosphere of the place.

Run by an Irish expat chef and his Japanese wife. Great draft beer selection usually includes two from Osaka microbrewery Minoh and two from Rogue as well as Guinness, Kilkenny and Sapporo. Food also top notch. Pizzas and steaks can’t be beat. Also pub staples like Irish stew and Fish & Chips are great.

Great food from pub grub to 3-course fine dining at reasonable prices. Amazing view of the Kamo River and Eastern Kyoto. Best draught selection in Kyoto. Usually 2 micro-beers from A.J.I. Minoh, 2 Rogues Ales, 1-2 Isekadoya and some Hakusekikan on tap, along with your Guinness, Kilkenny, and Sapporo. Lots of Rogue bombers lately at great prices. Music sporadically.
