京都府京都市下京区御幸町通仏光寺下る橘町434-2
Bar Rocking chair is a machiya cocktail bar serving cigars near Kyoto-kawaramachi Station in Kyoto. Tabelog places the bar 368 metres from Kyoto-kawaramachi Station. Google Maps showed it as operational on July 20, 2026, with phone 075-496-8679, regular hours of 5:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m., and Tuesday closed. The former official domain listed by Google and Tabelog returned a configuration error that day, so confirm same-day hours and reservations by phone or Google Maps. Google showed an overall rating of 4.4 from 874 ratings. Of the five text reviews currently displayed by Google, four positively discuss the fireplace, rocking chairs, cocktails, preference-based service or conversation. One negatively reports a long drink wait and an interaction while attempting to buy a cigar in the bar. The 874 Google ratings, five displayed reviews and zero Hamaki Suitai community reviews are separate counts. Tabelog showed a 3.89 score from 536 reviewers, a JPY 3,000–3,999 budget, reservations accepted, a JPY 880 cover including a small appetizer, 24 seats, major credit cards accepted, no electronic-money or QR payments, all-seat smoking and cigars permitted. Because Tabelog includes user-edited details, confirm current prices, seating, payment and smoking conditions directly. A historical WHISKY Magazine Japan feature describes the wooden machiya interior and courtyard, Kenji Tsubokura winning Japanese competition in 2015 and the world championship in 2016, and a cocktail called The Best Scene. This is historical editorial context and does not confirm current staff or availability. For cigars, Tabelog lists cigars as permitted, and a September 2025 Google review describes trying to buy a cigar inside. Two already preserved Google reviews from March and September 2025 also support on-site cigar use. Current brands, stock, prices, cutting or lighting service and bring-your-own rules remain unverified. Call before a cigar-focused visit.
