How would you spend an evening in Kyoto - too many options!

Hi! Will be visiting for the first time in mid November and have 4 days in Kyoto.

I have a few hours (4 PM to 8 PM) to spend solo as my friends head to Nintendo Museum, and am conflicted on how to spend my time!

  1. Yasaka shrine as the lights turn on, walk by Komo river, grab a drink in Pontoncho street?
  2. Gion walking tour?
  3. Rooftop bar (anyone been to K36)?
  4. Just grab a ramen and chill out
  5. Be spontaneous (as if my type A planner heart would let me)

Any suggestions of your fave bar or restaurant are appreciated, Id be happy just walking around and grabbing a drink in a nice vibe.

Hope this doesnt get flagged as low effort - my Kyoto google list would beg otherwise. Simply looking for recommendations from someone who is not an influencer!
