A globally popular bar that is nominated for the ASIA BEST BARS 50 every year. It’s an extremely popular spot, with foreign tourists lining up before opening since reservations are not accepted. The bar’s namesake, the Bee’s Knees, is a cocktail from the Prohibition era, and its exterior is discreet, making it hard to find unless you know the place. It’s a must-visit bar when in Kyoto.
