L' Escamoteur

Unique cocktails. Joe our bartender was wonderful to chat with, walked us through the menu, and made incredible drinks for us. Would definitely return.

This place is amazing!!! 100/10, the owner is beautiful and all the staff are amazing; so helpful! Choosing the best drinks is easy because they are ALL amazing!!

This bar is one of the best in Kyōto. People are so personable, all types of people come here. The drinks are bar none. Must-see in the city.

Amazing place and great conversation by the bartenders. Really Knowledge on mixology cocktails

Amazing cocktails, lovely staff, incredible experience. Definitely a place you have to go when you are in kyoto.

An amazing bar with great drinks and the best bartenders! Thank you for a lovely evening

Super fun bar. We went on Halloween which was even more perfect. Bartender chatted with us for awhile, he’s got an interesting story. Drinks were tasty and fun to watch them be made. Definitely worth a stop if in Kyoto.

Came across this bar by accident when we heard the amazing music from the street. What a magical find. The staff are amazing and the owner Christoph delighted us with his fantastic sense of humour and the ability pick cocktails that were just what we needed. On top of the delicious drinks the staff put on a great performance with fire and smoke and theatrics. It’s all an illusion. Do yourself a favour and check out the hidden bathroom. Will not disappoint.

Friendly staff, awesome cocktails, amazing tunes, wicked ambiance. Definitely one of the top bars I’ve ever been to — no lie. A place that makes you consider coming back to a city just for the repeat experience.

The attention to the small detail is on par with “bar leather apron” on oahu.. which is the best oahu has to offer.. Id add photos, but flash is prohibited, and I’d rather give good photos.

Cozy, 2F bar with steam punk/old school magician vibes. Creative menu with plenty of flair and the most spectacular hospitality from Christophe and his team.

Sophisticated cocktails minus the pretense. Friendly, welcoming and exceptional.

Very good cocktails, nice staff. Everyone spoke English. It didn't feel very Japanese. As in that bar could be anywhere in the world. But the drinks were delicious.

Sadly I was only able to enjoy this spot for about an hour. The setting and decor of this bar is absolutely amazing. The cocktail menu is also top notch and different. Loved the atmosphere of this bar. The staff uniform also adds to the vibe of this place. I would highly recommend and revisit whenever im in kyoto again

Amazing place to meet great people. If you want a place to start the night off, this is it! Buy the bar tenders shots and ask them about Kyoto night life and they will give you the inside scoop. Walk around town and finish off back here! Buy more drinks.English speakers, great vibes, amazing drinks!
