(Unfortunately 300 yen per Night has closed and is looking for a new location)
So you're downtown Kyoto, tired and hot from shopping on Kawaramachi or Teramachi and just dying for a drink but don't want to go through the hassle of waiting for a table and dealing with incompetent waiters. Answer: 300 per Night. Set up like a Western pub, all drinks (and food) are 300 yen! (Well, okay, 99% of the menu is.) You pay with pre-paid tickets (minimum purchase of 3) which you can use anytime. Literally, it cannot be easier (or cheaper). Yes, for the price of 1 Starbucks coffee you can get a beer! Wednesdays are ladies night, all you can drink for the insane price of 1,000 yen! Fridays, non-Japanese get 1 sparkling wine free. Best of all, mention EDK and get 1 free drink!
