Zac Baran

A basement bar located just south of the University of Kyoto, Zac Baran is a veteran of the Kyoto live music bar scene. A popular hangout for folk from all walks of life – students and staff from the nearby university, doctors and nurses from the nearby clinic, and anyone who appreciates jazz and blues – legend has it that this basement bar was the gathering place of the Japanese Red Army, the party behind Japans’ communist revolution in the 1970s and 1980s. Regardless of its history, Zac Baran is a cool place to hang out..

Price: Budget Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 6:00 p.m.-2:00 a.m. Address: Metabo Okazaki B1, 18 Shogoin Sannocho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8392, +81 75-751-9748

Jittoku (拾得)

Like Taku Taku, Jittoku used to be a sake brewery, and even today, after decades as a performance venue, it has retained the atmosphere of a brewery, with its stone floors and seats made of sake barrels. Anyone can book the venue for a performance, making it a great place for aspiring local musicians. The venue generally caters to a mature, Japanese crowd, so most of the music performed will be rock, blues, or folk, but there will be occasional performances of J-Pop, electronica, and other genres.

Price: Mid-range Hours: 5:30 p.m.-12:00 a.m. Address: 815 Hishiyacho, Omiya Shimodachiiru Sagaru, Kyoto, 602-8125, +81-75-841-1691
