A place with reasonable wine prices and good service. A relaxed atmosphere that accommodates everyone from solo diners to large groups. Be sure to try the Carbonara Spicy Whelk.

The staff is super friendly! They have a wide range of drinks and they are not too expensive either. Clean place with a clean bathroom :) and no I’m not paid to leave this review lol I’ve been a regular for more than 10 years and finally I’m leaving a review.

A total gem of a cocktail bar tucked away in the back alleys of the busy Jongno pocha street. The staff is very attentive and friendly. It’s a great place to visit if you want to enjoy drinks with some chill music.
