THE SAILING BAR
Cocktail bar
Why we point you here
Charted at No.
85 on Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2024, The Sailing Bar is worth the detour if you're willing to roam beyond Kyoto's more obvious drinking spots. It's the kind of place worth building a night around, and that ranking points you to serious bartending in a city better known for temples than cocktails.
