This is a very nice bar. It is kind of hidden, you have to open a door and go upstairs. The bartender is very nice and the drink are really good. I recommend it. I had an Espresso Martini and my boyfriend had a cosmopolitan.

Very nice and friendly host, staff and patrons!! Although I couldn’t speak Korean but English only (and Japanese), everybody was kindly trying to chat with me which made me feel like drinking at my friend’s house that I actually stayed there almost 6 hours!!! That was definitely the most memorable moments of my 4-day Korea trip. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 감사합니다!!

A nice cozy bar with a friendly atmosphere. It was my first gay bar during my trip and the staff/owner made me feel very welcomed. They could speak fluent English so it helps. Thanks for the great time!
