I wish I could only write positive stuffs, but today have to write negative issue because I don't want anyone to have bad experiences during your stay in Kyoto.
DO NOT GO TO KI BAR IN PONTO-CHO!!!
On my arrival, I was not greeted or welcome or asked anything even it was the first time to drink there. The male bartender who has tattoos in his arm (I think is American) was so rude. Even when I tried to order beer, he told me to wait with non verbal communication (body language) as talking to his colleagues/mates.
Drinks are bloody expensive. 500 yen Edamame wasn't cooked properly and its proportion is so small. It's much under valued.
There are better pubs in Kyoto. But drinks there are so expensive. The hostel bar near Kyoto station is quite cheap and a good place to drink, I reckon. Alternative Geal in Gion is a good Irish pub although drinks are still expensive.
