About this place
For evenings when a drink calls for substantial grilled meats and hot comfort food, Bar&Grill Billy's in Muko makes a convenient destination. Living up to the "Grill" in its name, the bar serves steak cuts such as chuck roll, top blade, and beef tongue, each ordered in portions of 100 grams. The kitchen also turns out a variety of drinks-friendly dishes, including sizzling teppan taco rice, pizza with an original house sauce, seafood ajillo, and bone-in sausages.
Behind the counter sits an extensive lineup of spirits. Regional Kyoto craft gins such as Ki No Bi, Kyoto Gin, and Kyoto Wakan Dry Gin share shelf space with well-regarded Japanese whiskies like Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, alongside an assortment of bourbons and Scotches to suit different tastes. Draught beer, bottled Corona, mixed cocktails, and shots are also available at accessible prices.
The interior has a laid-back, welcoming tone, with rock and indie music setting an easygoing rhythm for solo patrons dropping in on their own. With a gaming console and darts on hand, it suits anything from a quick pre-dinner drink to a lingering late-night hangout. Operating hours run from 19:00 in the evening until 1:00 the following morning, with Thursdays off. Cash is the only accepted payment method.
