My sister, boyfriend, and I were exploring the streets of Kyoto when an angel appeared and randomly recommended Bar Kingdom to us. He mentioned that his friends bragged about this place and would highly recommend us seeing it! Something about his energy and our excitement to try a new bar lead us here. At first we were skeptical since most places require reservations but the second we entered we were instantly greeted kindly and seated. No menus, we just told the bartenders what we liked and they prepared the drinks. We explored other past reviews and read a review on their seasonal fruit drinks so we took a gamble and ordered three more drinks, this time a Japanese pear sake drink, a kumquat sake drink, and a mandarin ginger lemon tequila drink. WHEN I TELL YOU OUR JAWS DROPPED AFTER OUR FIRST SIP and our tired eyes instantly felt rejuvenated again. Omg. I cannot recommend this place enough ! Truly felt deeper in love with Kyoto after...

Hands down the best service I've ever experienced. From entering the door and having our coats taken, to submitting our preferences for a drink order, to being escorted out and having them double check we knew where we were headed after. The attention to detail here is sublime.

There is no menu to order from, the staff will ask guiding questions to help them create a flavorful masterpiece of a beverage that is tailored to your preferences.

The staff also brought out a few small snacks to enjoy our drinks with, which were lovely.

It was a bit difficult to find the way inside as it was dark out when we went and the small sign wasn't well lit, but I found that added to the appeal a bit, almost like a speakeasy vibe.

I can't recommend this place...

⭐︎2024年10月追記 京都全体のオーバーツーリズムの弊害で、以前より状況がかなり悪化しています。残念ながら8割9割は外国人客となり大変騒がしい空間となってしまいました。近くのロッキングチェアと同じ状況です。

大人数の外国人客あるいは新規の日本人客を受け入れる→異なるカクテルのオーダーがたくさん溜まる→マスターがイライラする&マスターが従業員にキツく当たる(客側にも全て聞こえている)→カウンターの雰囲気が悪くなる→日本人の常連はややこしいカクテルをオーダーしないor早めに退散するように気を使う→さらに新規客や外国人客の割合が増える、という悪循環に陥っています。

特に『イライラして客前でスタッフを叱責する』というのは裏でして欲しいです。これはバー業界に限らずどんな職種においても本当にあり得ないことですし、上司のマネジメント不足・実力不足を露呈しているだけです。叱責の内容も教育的指導というよりは理不尽な内容が多い印象です。これは銀座で修行したバーテンダー多くに共通する悪癖と思います。1日の仕事を終えて非日常を感じにバーに行っているのに、どうして日々の仕事の辛さや苦しさを眼前で見せつけられないといけないのでしょうか?お金を払ってまで?

カクテルを作ることができるスタッフはマスター以外にもう1人いますが、全てを作る許可をマスターから得ているわけではないため、マスターの負荷を完全に軽減するには至っていません。どんなに腕利きのバーテンダーであっても、作り手1人に対して席数のバランスが取れていません。この点は(味はばらつきがありますが)カクテルを作ることができるスタッフが常に2.3人入るロッキングチェアと対照的です。

現状のオペレーション(カクテルを作ることができる人が実質マスター1人という状況)であれば、テーブル席のいくつか(特に奥の個室)には客を入れない、あるいは外国人客や団体客の割合を絞るなどしないと回らないと思います。すでに現状では混み合った時はオペレーションがショートしています。

『お客さんを絞る』という行為をバーテンダーの矜持が許さないというのは気持ちはわかりますが、それは果たして常連客や日本人客のことを考えているのでしょうか?独りよがりではないでしょうか?快適なバー環境を作るためにはやむを得ないのではないのでしょうか?

また、大人数のうるさい外国人客を受け入れる店は京都には他にたくさんありますし、任せておけばいいと思います。木屋町や祇園に乱立しているオーセンティックバーチェーンの得意客でしょう。

大声で騒いだりカウンター裏を徘徊したりするマナーのない客も最近かなり増えています。そういう客に対しては営業スマイルで誤魔化すのではなく、他の客のことを考えて厳しく注意する、あるいは追い出すなどして欲しいです。ハーフパンツやサンダルの客など本来ドレスコードで弾かれるべきでしょう。

バーの治安や雰囲気を守るのもバーテンダーの役割ではないでしょうか?

総じて、現在のオペレーション・環境ではマスターの素晴らしい技術がうまく発揮できておらず、このお店を愛する人間として忸怩たる思いをしています。客数を絞り渾身のカクテルを丁寧に作る、というのがこのお店およびマスターの力量を最大限に発揮できると思いますし、本来マスターがしたいことではないか?と思います。

このレビューを書いたのは、怒りからではなく、このお店とマスターの凄さを知っている人間としてただただ悲しいからです。失礼な文面で申し訳ありません。ただ、もし今の状況が続くのならば行くのを辞めようと思います。

⭐︎以前の感想 味はとても美味しいのだが、とにかく最近は観光客とインバウンドだらけでとても騒がしくかつバーテンダーもスタッフも気の毒になるぐらい忙しそうで客として飲んでいて落ち着かないお店になってしまった。また、マナーのないうるさい客も増えてきて悲しい。以前よりはマシだがマスターも忙しくなるとスタッフを客前で叱責することも多くこちらが気を遣う。

ロッキングチェアもこちらも、昔は落ち着いて飲めてとてもよかったのだが、最近は観光客と外国人に食い荒らされてしまいトータルの満足度が下がったので、むしろ祇園で飲むことが増えた。

マスターが今後一体キングダムをどのようなお店にしていきたいのか次第で大きく変わるが、このままの状態が続くと地元客がどんどん離れて外様だらけの観光バーになってしまう可能性があり大いに懸念している。マスターのこれまでの真摯な仕事ぶりをみるに、おそらくマスターはこんな状態の店を作りたい人ではないのではないか?と思う。

オープンしたての頃は客足が少なく仕方ない面はあったが、今後は観光客や外国人を制限する、マナーのない客には媚びずに追い出す...

The best bar I have ever been to. This was recommended by a coworker and I am so glad I took his advice. It is extremely classy and high quality. The setting is peaceful and you feel you are witnessing a masterclass in drink making and service. There is no menu, but the bartender knows exactly what to make based on your preferences. The staff is extremely attentive and in addition to any drink you order, there are small bites that come with them. While there is no menu, the prices are very good, so don’t let that scare you. Our final bill for 9 drinks was 16,000 yen, which was around $13 per cocktail. This bar cannot be missed if you are in Kyoto!

Eine außergewöhnliche Bar mit wunderschönem Ambiente und einem einzigartigen Konzept. Es gibt keine feste Karte, stattdessen werden saisonale Früchte auf kleinen Kärtchen präsentiert, die mit verschiedenen Spirituosen kombiniert werden können. Das Ergebnis sind maßgeschneiderte Cocktails, die perfekt auf den persönlichen Geschmack abgestimmt sind. Zur Begrüßung gibt es eine kleine Tasse exzellenter Rinderbrühe – eine wunderbare Geste, die den Abend einleitet. Die frischen Früchte werden direkt hinter der Theke verarbeitet, und die Barkeeper beraten kompetent, welche Kombinationen besonders harmonieren. Mein persönliches Highlight war Kiwi mit Mezcal, dicht gefolgt von Kumquats mit Mezcal. Der Inhaber führt die Bar mit sichtbarer Leidenschaft und wird von einem engagierten Team unterstützt. Die gesamte Crew war extrem freundlich und bemüht, trotz Sprachbarriere mit den Gästen zu interagieren. Entgegen einiger anderer Rezensionen können wir nicht bestätigen, dass Touristen hier ungern gesehen sind – ganz im Gegenteil: Bei mehreren Besuchen haben wir erlebt, wie sie sich große Mühe gaben, Gästen auch bei vollem Haus noch einen Platz zu ermöglichen. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist leider die Atmosphäre welche manchmal etwas angespannt wirkt, da der Chef etwas streng zu sein scheint und sein Team gelegentlich vor den Gästen zurechtweist. Ein besonderes Lob geht an die junge Dame hinter der Bar, die uns mit exzellenter Beratung, freundlicher Art und großem Engagement ein rundum angenehmes Erlebnis beschert hat. Leider endet unsere Zeit in Kyoto, aber wenn wir zurückkehren, wird diese Bar definitiv unsere erste Anlaufstelle für außergewöhnliche Cocktails sein.
