点评:This is a place I always return to ever since my first visit in 1999. I have been back to Kyoto many times since then, and on each occasion I have visited Lennon Bar several nights a week. To me it has almost become a home away from home.
As the name suggests this is a Beatles themed bar. Several times a month there is live music, which is always advertised well in advance for the upcoming month on Facebook. For me, who was a teenager in the 60´s, this is reason enough to come here, but actually this is not why I have come back all these times. The main reason is the extremely warm and friendly atmosphere of this bar. This very much depends on Kiku, the owner of the bar. If it had not been for her, it would probably had been just like any other bar.
Every time I have returned to Lennon Bar, Kiku has been there behind the bar busy serving drinks and beer to her customers. Kiku is without question the nicest bartender I have ever come across (and, believe me, I have met quite a few travelling around the world for many years).
Even though I just returned home to Sweden quite exhausted after a 22 hour trip back from Japan, I have already started planning my next visit to Kyoto and Lennon Bar.
翻译:自从 1999 年第一次来这里,我总会回到这里。从那时起,我多次回到京都,每次我都会在每周的几个晚上光顾列侬酒吧。对我来说,这里几乎成了家外之家。
顾名思义,这是一家披头士乐队主题酒吧。每月有几次现场音乐表演,而且总是提前在 Facebook 上发布下个月的广告。对于 60 年代的青少年来说,这足以成为来这里的理由,但实际上这并不是我每次来的原因。主要原因是这家酒吧的氛围非常温暖友好。这很大程度上要归功于酒吧老板 Kiku。如果没有她,这家酒吧可能就跟其他酒吧一样。
每次我回到列侬酒吧,Kiku 都会在吧台后面忙着为顾客提供饮料和啤酒。毫无疑问,Kiku 是我遇到过的最好的调酒师(相信我,多年来我在世界各地旅行时遇到过不少这样的调酒师)。
尽管我刚刚从日本返回瑞典,经过 22 小时的旅行,已经精疲力竭,但我已经开始计划下次去京都和列侬酒吧的旅行了。
