About this place bell KYOTO

bell KYOTO is a small gay bar in the basement (unit B1-C) of the Takase Building in Nakajimachō, Nakagyo ward. That's in the Kiyamachi and Sanjo nightlife area. Like most Japanese gay bars, it's likely a counter bar where the master sets the tone, and a table charge is common. We have no confirmed hours or prices. Check its Google Sites page or call 070-4285-3177 first. Some Kyoto gay bars are regulars-only or Japanese-speaking.

The best place I've ever been! The waiter, host, and everyone else were so attentive and incredibly kind. He even played me the playlist of openings and endings I wanted to hear! He was so sweet. He took me back to my childhood and is so happy for who I am! If you're gay and a geek, this is the place for you!

The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive. He gave us some great recommendations for onsen (hot springs). He accommodated our individual drink requests and had a stimulating conversation with us. We felt completely at ease and would definitely go back.
