Public

Public is a shot bar where guests can quietly savor well-chosen drinks, including single-malt whiskies from independent bottlers. Located just a short walk from the east exit of Hankyu Katsura Station, up the stairs on the 2th floor, the calm interior arranges counter seats and sofa seating with comfortable spacing.

With guidance from the knowledgeable bartender, visitors can order anything from timeless standards like a gin and tonic to seasonal cocktails. Whether sipping a drink on the rocks alongside dry bar snacks or having a glass solo without distraction, the space lets each guest unwind at an undisturbed pace.

Open from 19:00 into the night until 4:00 the following morning, the venue permits smoking and welcomes cigars and pipes. From a relaxed stop on the way home from work to a late-night nightcap, it serves as a dependable, tranquil retreat for an evening in Katsura.
