Alice in Wonderland Themed Bar: Every drink has a corresponding story
Verified User Reviews
This bar, Alice Cheongdam, is very famous in Seoul and is loved by young people. It has a large collection of fine wines and first-class bartenders.
This is a famous bar. Koreans are good at making cocktails. Maybe their culture has been closely connected with the United States for decades. There are several drinks that you have never seen in other places. You can try them.

Asia's 50 best bars! Recommend booking online in advance, otherwise you will have to wait for a table. Second visit, still very lively. This time they have two rounds of Guest Shift... Wow! Service is fast and professional, they can also communicate in English. Tried the drinks from Zest and Virtu, personally I like Zest better!
Step into Zest, the epitome of modernity and chic in the heart of Korea. This bar is more than just a place to have a drink, it’s an experience

One of the best hidden bars in Seoul. must try the grapefruit. mind blowing, and cucumber.
The exterior is a fruit shop, and the entrance is in the refrigerator, which is very interesting! The point is that the cocktails are so delicious~ The atmosphere in the store is very comfortable and relaxing. The bar tender speaks very good English and has clear pronunciation. Communication is no problem at all. I highly recommend this place to friends who want to come for a 2-stall after dinner~

Bar Cham is a craft cocktail bar located in a small alley near Gwanghwamun. The bartenders are very friendly, speak relatively good English, and are very attentive to all the guests that come in. I was lucky enough to get a seat at the counter on a Saturday night.
Their drinks are beautifully crafted with many local elements, and each drink brings a different surprise.
The oak furniture in the bar gives the place a nice feel, as if you have traveled back to the old days of Korean residences.

Myeong-dong | 762m from downtown

Highlights:
Full of exoticism and elegance, a haven for cocktail lovers
Verified User Reviews
This bar is located in the basement of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun. If you don't know the door of the bar, you really can't find it. There are many kinds of cocktails, and there are also several special beers. I recommend the local craft beer with a 7.5 degree degree, which has a special taste but tastes great! A cocktail costs about 25,000 won, and a beer costs 19,000 won.
Charles H is an upscale speakeasy hidden behind an unmarked door in the basement of the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. Its decor evokes the Prohibition era with an Art Deco facade, gorgeous polished marble, a backlit bar, and grained leather booths. The carefully crafted menu reads like a guidebook. The bar's name is a tribute to Charles H. Baker, explorer, author of The Gentleman's Companion, connoisseur, and one of the world's pioneering bartenders.

A colorful aesthetic and a feast for the senses
Verified User Reviews
I enjoyed some authentic jazz in Seoul! I visited this sacred place where BTS's V used for filming, so I went partly for the sake of my fan activities, but the live performance, the atmosphere in the store, and the excitement of the audience were all amazing!
Stepping into this place is like entering a jazz lover's paradise. The intimate atmosphere combined with the captivating live performances create an unforgettable experience.
The comfortable and stylish decor, attentive staff and enchanting music make it a standout venue in Seoul's nightlife scene.

It gives people a very comfortable feeling, the music and lighting are great. The waiter's attitude is also good, and he recommended several special wines for us to try. It's just a pity that I forgot to take pictures of the environment in the store. I must remember to make up for it next time I go! Drinking wine and chatting with friends here is really an ultimate spiritual and soul journey.
