Bar Towser
Look for the kitty silhouette. They serve cocktails and bourbon, with beer and bar food available as well.
Aussie Bar
An Oz-themed bar with Victoria Bitter and other brews from Down Under — look for the yellow sign by the Nishiki Canal Walk.
Bar Vagabond
A well-stocked wine cellar and whiskeys from around the world.
Bar Rude Boy
An upbeat reggae bar; the space is small, but there's enough room for a DJ and good irie.
Pinball Cafe
Friendly and welcoming American themed bar and cafe with a wide variety of cocktails as well as all the standard fare. A good selection of Japanese and Western food is served until the early hours, but come early for a reasonably priced and surprisingly good lunch set. If you're lucky you may even catch the owner performing live with his 1950s rock band, an occasion not to be missed.
Hau 'Oli Kitchen
This small, friendly bar's atmosphere and theme are Hawaiian, although the bar food is mostly seafood and Italian.
Bar Hips
A popular bar among locals and visitors alike, across from Ishiyama Park. Among the liquors on the menu is Okinawa-style awamori — best on the rocks.
