Man in the Moon Gion — Restaurant in Kyoto

Such friendly, and accommodating staff. I got a hug from one of the bartenders!

When we came in the place was packed, a bigger group was celebrating a wedding. We were planning on moving on to some place we could sit down, and as I was looking into where else to go, the lady bartender came out to the front of the place to let us know she had made room for us. This was unasked for and super appreciated!

Were it not for her we would not have met a new friend Samy. He guided us through the rest of the night!

They have a great selection of beer and cocktails. I'm a huge fan of the Kyoto brewing company and they had it on tap! You can taste the fresh, crispness, of the water used while brewing, it makes for a wonderful mouthfeel.

I also had some of the strawberry milk alcohol based drink. If you like a superior version of strawberry Nesquick that also has booze in it, you will love this drink.

Thanks for the quality service. and great night guys!

I think it is worth noting the chef over at Gion Niti(best Italian food I've ever had, literally brought a tear to my eye), recommended this place when I asked him for a casual less expensive bar...

I ordered what was advertised as a large mug of a refreshing drink, but it arrived much smaller than expected. When I asked the staff at the bar if it was the same drink shown on the menu (as pictured), I was told: "We’re not the ones who make the menu ads—sorry." Disappointing response and misleading presentation. The place was nice though, air con good and nice area to sit down and rest...

The service is the worst that I has been in my life, the encarged person gave me the menu, and after 25 minutes I was ready ro order and she don’t attended me, the bar was empty she passed several times without attention until I stood up and left, I felt very unconfortable. People like that should not be working in service. I don’t recomend. Go to Kyoto yamaneko bar is near...
