About this place
Lit from 20:00 until 1:00 the following morning, Heaven in Kyoto's Nishi-Shichijo district is a bar where guests can unwind over drinks alongside a surprisingly robust food menu. Though arranged as a bar, its daily offerings feature Japanese home-style staples such as assorted sashimi, mackerel sushi, nikujaga simmered beef and potatoes, daikon simmered with chicken wingettes, and braised sardines, making it easy to enjoy a full, proper meal rather than just bar snacks.
The cooking from the mama in the kitchen yields a wide selection of small dishes and appetisers made to accompany a drink, including prawns and broccoli tossed in mayonnaise, roast beef, tofu hamburg patties, and squid tentacles with cucumber and egg white. Drinks are equally versatile, ranging from wine by the glass to beer, cocktails, and spirits, letting diners pair each plate with ease.
JBL speakers and a turntable outfit the room, providing a steady, comfortable soundtrack of classic rock and other genres. Seating options include both counter stools and tables, with reservation inquiries accommodated and cashless payments accepted. It is a welcoming retreat whether settling in for late-night fare or simply looking for friendly, unpretentious hospitality.
