"What can I say about this bar? This bar makes me feel that the best bars are not always listed on the Asia’s top 50 bars"
"This is one of the best bars I’ve gone to in Japan! It’s right next to L’Escamoteur and there was a long line so we ended up paying the ¥500 cover charge to come here"
"I do not leave many reviews but this bar deserves it"
"My husband and I wanted to end the night and our trip in Kyoto with a nice bar"
"There is no menu here as the bartenders can make you any cocktail to perfection"
What can I say about this bar? This bar makes me feel that the best bars are not always listed on the Asia’s top 50 bars. My wife and I visited this bar 2 days in a row because we love that there is no menu in this bar. We like to be surprised by the friendly bartender Tom-san who served up fantastic seasonal fruit-based alcohol and the classics. We really love the whiskey sour that Tom-san concocted for us. We were also amazed by Tom-san’s free pouring technique. It produced uniform drinks time and again without fail. I wonder how long it takes to be able to consistently free pour. This is a very traditional Japanese cocktail bar where the bartender’s skill in shaking and stirring remains a life-long craft that can always be perfected. The shaking technique is an art form, with the ice in the Boston shaker rotating and producing a classic rhythmic sound. Crushed ice forming on the surface of our white lady cocktail adds texture and balance to the drink. This is a bar that is not touristy, has no music and just focusses on the art of making a world class drink. Fantastic.
This is one of the best bars I’ve gone to in Japan! It’s right next to L’Escamoteur and there was a long line so we ended up paying the ¥500 cover charge to come here. It’s worth every penny. They don’t have a set menu - instead you tell their bartenders what you like in a cocktail (spirit, flavor profile, etc) and they get creative and make you something. One of the cocktails we had was a rum drink with freshly blended white grape. It blew me away with how naturally sweet and lovely it was. Their bartenders are incredibly gracious and just want you to have a great cocktail experience. RUN, don’t walk here if you’re looking for an amazing bar in Kyoto!

I do not leave many reviews but this bar deserves it. When we entered, it was empty. We shortly doubted our decision, but were greeted extremely friendly and welcoming. This place is all about the products and the craft of bartending - no music, no Menu, no shishi. The bartenders are extremely skilled and professional, are happy to provide share knowledge about local spirits and enjoy a good conversation, especially if you know a bit about spirits yourself. Initially we only intended to stay for a drink - after four of them I am writing this review and will definitely come back.
My husband and I wanted to end the night and our trip in Kyoto with a nice bar. We found this place and it was truly an amazing experience and we’re sad we didn’t find it sooner. Our bartender created drinks for us based on what we were wanting and he did not disappoint. Every drink we had was a 10/10. We were mesmerized by his talent and bartending skills, it was an incredible experience. Although we speak only English it was no problem and he was so kind to us. Thank you for such a wonderful night.

There is no menu here as the bartenders can make you any cocktail to perfection. I was SO excited to find a place that made an excellent Dirty Martini. We also tried an Old-Fashioned and the bartenders favorite whiskey drink: the Gold Rush. Came here at 5:30 on a Friday and we're the only people in the bar. Every other time we attempted to enter was between 8-10pm during the week and it was packed. We paid under $50 for 4 excellent cocktails. This bar is definitely worth a visit.

夕方から近くで食事の予定があり、それまで飲めるお店を探していたところ、感じの良さそうなバーが16時から営業していたので入ってみました。 カウンターが広く、綺麗で落ち着いたお店で、沢山のボトルが並んでいます。 フルーツや珈琲豆を漬け込んだ瓶も色々あり、その中からカクテルを作っていただく事に。 【注文】 □生姜とウォッカのモスコミュール 独特な味で面白い。 □白ワイン グラス 美味しいシャルドネ。 入店した時はオープン直後だったので、私しかいませんでしたが、数分後には他に2組の常連らしきお客様がみえたので、流行っているお店の様です。 お店の方は、バーテンダーの男性が2名で優しそうで感じが良かったです。 支払いはPayPayも対応していて、3,000円程でした。 チャージが550円なのも安いですね。 ご馳走様でした。
Very professional bartenders, if you are looking for nice cocktails it’s an amazing bar, they don’t really have menus but you can tell the bartender what you like, and they will create something nice for you. Staff was very polite and friendly, also English speaking staff was available.

Beautiful bar with very friendly bartenders. They speak perfect English. There is no menu, you just tell them what you like and they will make an amazing drink. I asked for some sweet whisky drinks and had some of my favorite from all time. They have some food available. 500 yen for cover. Highly recommended.
Never been to a bar with no menu. Apparently they're so good they can make anything?! Very friendly and nice vibe. They had some special made gin concoction and a good dark beer on tap. Would have been nice if music were playing.

We loved it here. We walked in here a bit skeptical as it was completely empty after being turned away from two bars that were full, however, we were very glad to have found this place. Our cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, and our bartender was awesome! Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful experience with this, chilled out bar. Wonderful service, it's takes alittle bit longer for drinks because only one mixologist was there during the time, but the drinks were fantastic. I would recommend for foreigners and locals alike. Pricey but worth the experience.
Friendly staff and very nice minimalist design. Impressive selection of cocktails but sadly none of this makes up for the complete lack of music and atmosphere. If you are looking for a drink in the style of a silent disco without the disco, head over to turquoise bar for sure!
This was probably one of my favorite bars in Kyoto. My first night i was greeted by an amazing bartender (whose name slipped my mind). They helped me plan the rest of my stay in kyoto, not to mentioned shared so many local tips to check out …

旅行で行った際に伺わせてもらいました。Bar自体入るのが初めてで注文の仕方も分からず申し訳なかったのですが、希望をお伝えするだけで、それに沿ったカクテルを作ってくれました。お店の人と話すことは初めてだったのですが、物腰柔らかく話しかけて下さり、少し緊張ながらも楽しく過ごさせてもらいました。あと、お店の人の笑顔が素敵です。1人でも入りやすく、初めてのBarがTurquoise Barさんで良かったです。また、京都に行く機会があれば訪ねたいと思わせてくれるお店です。
Really nice place, lovely cocktails and very friendly service. One of the barmen spoke very good English so it was easy to order and the range of spirits on offer meant you could pretty much order what you want. Highly recommended.
welcoming atmosphere, super collection of whiskey and all sorts of spirits, and very nice bartenders! I had a very nice evening, Recommended to everyone !

A fantastic bar, with barman who love their craft and are multi lingual. There was no menu but 6 drinks came to 8000yen which was premium but we felt was very justified by the quality of service. …
Fantastic spot with a wide selection of everything. We had Tom as our bartender and he was very kind and knowledgeable. Beautiful smaller zen garden on first floor. Would definitely go back again!
The best drinks I have ever had. Ask for the Mojito or the Matcha Liqueur. Amazing service, Yoshitani is the best bartender that has ever served. #1 bar recommendation in Kyoto, or the world.

Walked in with my daughters and the bartenders couldnt be more friendly. Made some amazing fruit infused drinks and had a Japan whiskey tasting. Very classy.
Amazing place! The bartenders are friendly and real craftsmen, we had a great time! Too bad we found this place on our last night but we will be back …
Awesome staff, very friendly and fun, amazing cocktails. Even their own fermented alcohol. Ask for a Moscow mule and you will get home brewed ginger ale.
Great service, reasonable prices, very knowledgeable bartenders who give good suggestions based on your preferences. Lots of choices of Japanese gin.
What an amazing experience I had last night! Neil was fantastic guiding the crowd about the Japanese Whisky! Definitely willing to visit next time
Our bartenders were Tom and Tora, very professional, intelligent and funny. Their drinks were strong and flavorful. You bet we are coming back.

Forget L'Escamoteur, this is the best bar in Kyoto. The bartender greets you with "we don't have a menu, what do you like?"... Enough said.
Such a beautiful quaint cocktail bar. No menu, they make whatever you want. Great selection of liquors, and sweet staff! Neil is amazing !
Shin is an amazing bartender. He struck up conversation with us in English and made us feel welcome. The drinks were also amazing! …
This was a great bar. Very formal and pleasant. Our bartender was Tom, he was excellent and provided great service. I will return again.
What a joy to go to the Turquoise Bar on two of our five nights in Kyoto. Campari Orange and a Martini - both perfect. Made by a master!
A delightful experience and friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere

Decent cocktails and attentive service. We visited at around 10PM and had a great time. Smoker friendly.
A great quaint space, superb craftsmanship by the bartender. A definite highlight of our visit to Kyoto.
初めてで慣れない私たちの雰囲気を察して、さり気なく緊張をほぐすような気くばりをしてくれました。 お客様には外国の方も多いようです。 立地やクオリティーを考えれば、お値段的にもとてもお手頃だったと思います。
1年ぶりに伺ったこの日は外国人のお客様が多く、みなさんフレンドリーに話しかけてくださったのでカウンター全体でおしゃべりしながら楽しい時間を過ごせました☺ お店の方の距離感も程よくて素敵なお店です。

菜單是日文,如果是略懂調酒的朋友可以直接跟bartender點,沒有的話黑啤跟香檳建議可以試試看。
野菜や果物を漬け込んだオリジナルのリキュールカクテルが最高にクセになります(*´ω`*)
ウイスキーコニサー資格を持つ、バーテンダーさんがいて、話が弾みました …
