Bees Knees in downtown Kyoto is an absolute gem if you’re into amazing cocktails.

It’s a quirky little bar with a cozy vibe, and let me tell you, they serve some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had.

A word of advice: they don’t take reservations, so it’s first in, best dressed.

We arrived at least 40 minutes before opening to snag a seat and it was absolutely worth it!

They often host special nights featuring Japan’s top cocktail artists, which makes the experience extra special.

Hands down, it’s the best bar in Kyoto for cocktails. Don’t miss it!
