The best cocktail bars Seoul 서울

This bar is very popular in the neighborhood. The decor certainly plays a part in its success. The atmosphere is very "rich English gentleman's club", with dark wood furniture and upholstered leather seats. On the menu, there's plenty of alcohol (cocktails, beers, wines, champagnes, whiskies and other liqueurs), but also a few dishes (cheese platter, fruit platter, chicken, prawns, pizza...). Even if the prices aren't cheap, this bar is still a great place to enjoy a drink or two.

This intimate bar with its muffled light is a landmark for fans of rock and blues music from the 70s and 80s. Decorated with the vinyls of the owner, Kyu Nam Jo,who has made a name for himself with his incredible record collection, it feels like in a friend's living room with a touch of vintage. Kyu Nam Jo continues to play his favorite tunes himself every night, while his wife serves drinks and popcorn at will. Attended by Europeans and Seoulite hispters. Music lovers are highly recommended to take a little trip there, pleasure guaranteed!

We really like the concept of this cute little place. As the name of the establishment suggests, it is both a bar serving gin cocktails and a flower shop. These, freshly plucked, come to decorate the drinks nicely. The aromas of the flowers delicately embalm the place and blend perfectly with the gin. For a really charming and original cocktail break. Besides, it is the ideal place for a little romantic outing. Successful "Date" in perspective!

It's certainly the busiest place in the neighborhood. Just across from the famous Noriteo Playground Park, this two-storey bar/lounge is popular with foreign and Korean students alike. Meeting people, exchanging, starting to learn a language (one or two beers help for that): this is the program of the place. Cocktails on the terrace, international evenings or "all-you-can-drink", the young students will appreciate. Plus, the drinks are cheap.

A chic, luminous and trendy decoration. Gangnam with a capital G! And the prices have been affected. You can enjoy good pasta dishes, risottos and other salads (very generous portions). As far as drinks are concerned, you will find mostly champagnes (overpriced) and tasty cocktails (much more reasonable). Even if it's not the most affordable outing you can do in the capital, the atmosphere is really top-notch and will leave you with really good memories. For an outing in pure Gangnam style.

This establishment, with its retro, subdued ambience, serves as a café by day and a bar by night. It stands out in the chaos of Itaewon, just a few blocks away. Renowned for its tasty cocktails, couples and groups of friends come to sip and relax on the soft vintage sofas. You can tell the place has many regulars, which isn't surprising given the charming, almost cinematic ambience and the bar tender 's mastery of his craft. Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available.

Perfect bar for a moment in the tropics in the middle of Seoul! Everything in the decoration of this establishment is reminiscent of the islands and we love this immersion! Little crush for wicker chairs/swings. To remain in the caliente theme of the place, the signature cocktails are all based on tropical fruits and are served with a lot of originality. There are also a few dishes that are not out of the ordinary. A truly unusual place that changes from the soulless bars you often find.
