Seoul lives up to its reputation as a 24-hour city with a wealth of bars and pubs, clubs, and live music and performance. Each neighborhood has its own character at night—Itaewon is international, Gangnam brimming with class, and Insadong home to cozy local makgeolli bars.
A grand piano and suave bartenders lend a 1920s vibe to this cosmopolitan hotel rooftop bar. Craft cocktails, an extensive cigar collection, regular live jazz performances, and a terrace featuring one of the best views of Heunginjimun Gate make this a splendid place to while away an evening. The prices reflect the posh ambience—expect to pay upwards of ₩20,000 per cocktail.
