  We had a great last evening in Kyoto at Birdland. The bar is very cozy and intimate. The bartender duo were both delightful and very knowledgeable on cocktails and whiskey. We got some great recommendations for Japanese Whiskey from them and even had some cocktails made up on the spot based on our preferences. We also had some nice chats with them, both in Japanese and in English when our Japanese knowledge failed us. The atmosphere was great, and even without live music on a weekday we still greatly enjoyed our time. The prices were also very fair. Thank you so much for a great evening!

  Checked out Birdland on a Friday and then again on a Saturday for a few drinks and some live music while visiting Kyoto from overseas. It was dark, moody, smokey, full of locals, and stocked with some fine local whisky - everything I wanted for a relaxing night out. The service from the owner and his son were excellent. Both were very friendly and personable with great selection of CDs playing in the background. The pianist on the Saturday night was incredibly talented and was even able to play a Bill Evans song upon request. This place is a gem, don’t skip it if you enjoy jazz and whisky.

  If you love whiskey, jazz and old school vibes...I highly recommend this place. Birdland is a time capsule that will instantly transport you to a better timeline. Effortless charm that is not "curated", and you will be slightly cooler just by having been there. The bar tenders are absolute masters of their craft, offering impeccable, effortless service, knowledge and warm demeanor. An absolute treasure.

  I had such a wonderful time here. The 81-year-old owner was absolutely delightful to talk to. He speaks English very well and is such a lovely person. We really enjoyed spending time with him and the other gentleman working there, and we

  Owner of the bar, Akira, is amazing and speaks great English. Welcoming and friendly, this bar is open to everyone as a hidden gem in Kyoto. Please check it out! Live piano on Fridays and Saturdays, other days plays a great selection of music and will recommend drinks based on your preference!
