Clubs & Pubs in Kyoto

I'm staying in Kyoto and don't know any Japanese. I would like to know if anyone has advice on a good place to go out (whether in Pontocho or wherever) where I could mix with both other foreigners and Japanese in their 20s-30s who like hanging out with Westerners, etc. (Places backpackers may go, etc...?)

thanks - I'm staying at an inn and am VERY bored because there is no-one here but me! :)

Sam and Dave's. Lots of fun. Bring money.

theres quite a few irish/english bars in kawaramachi area. try the hub, its popular! sam and daves is a meat market, if thats what ur after!

Of course that's what he's after- he said he was alone.

The hub sounds more like what I'm after. I'm not on the pull or anything! ;)
