Mars Cafe planet act.

Mars Cafe is a cafe bar, which means it has both sides. If you do not drink, or are not so keen on alcohol, you will still feel right at home. If you do drink, it works as a proper bar too. You are welcome to come just for coffee or a non-alcoholic drink. It is a relaxed spot in the Horikawa-Gojo area of Kyoto, with or without a drink in hand.

Absolutely. Alongside coffee and tea, we offer a wide range of soft drinks including soda, ginger ale, cola, tonic, orange juice, apple juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, and yuzu juice. We also make non-alcoholic cocktails, so just tell us the mood you are after. You are very welcome to drop in just as a cafe.

We do not show sports all the time, but for big international events, such as the Olympics or the World Cup, we are happy to put popular matches on if they air during our opening hours. Let us know in advance about a game you would like to see and we will do our best. On big match nights, the whole room tends to get into it together.

Mars Cafe is open from 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM, with last orders at 1:00 AM. It is a relaxed place to settle in late, after sightseeing, after work, or after checking into your hotel. Plenty of our guests arrive later in the evening.

We are closed on Sundays. We also occasionally close on other days, which we announce on our social media, so it is worth checking before you visit.

Yes. Many guests use Mars Cafe as a night cafe, a place to unwind late over a coffee or a light drink. Whether you are in the mood for a drink, a coffee, or just a bit of conversation, come as you feel that day.

We serve a wide range of drinks including beer, cocktails, wine, champagne, whisky, sake, and more. Not everything is listed on the menu, so feel free to ask for a favorite by name. Please forgive us if we have run out. We also make non-alcoholic cocktails. Just tell us the mood you are after and we will do our best.

Lots of guests come on their own and relax at the counter. Walk-ins are very welcome. For larger groups, a reservation, or a quick message before you come, is a big help.
