For the next few months, I will be checking out these bars. I will further categorize these venues into the following categories:
- Cocktail bars
- Wine bars
- Hotel bars
- Whisky bars (bars with a good selection of whiskies, since I am a single malt fan)
And also, when I have the time I will have some “fun” reviews of more affordable and louder bars.
If you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to leave a comment.
Bar list after the jump. (30+)
I visited several “best” bars in Seoul and lounges and had yet to be satisfied. Even hotel lounges that charge 25 dollars a drink had nothing more special than a skilled bartender strictly adhering to cocktail recipe list.
This weekend, I found the place that offers the best selection and quality of all drinks.
The place is Coffee Bar K in Cheongdam-dong.

My sources tell me that there are some major changes happening to the club scene in Seoul, besides the fact that Club Circle is undergoing renovation. I do hope Circle remains competitive after its facelift, and let’s see if they will go by the same name when it opens again…
3 updates happening to the club scene in Seoul after the jump.
For the longest time I was on the mission to find the best mojitos in Seoul. All I wanted was a perfectly prepared glass of mojito with fresh mint leaves and lime. I’ve ordered mojitos in a dozen or so bars that are supposedly famous – some rather disappointing and some very pleasantly suprising.
Here are some bars and lounges I checked out that were rather decent (I won’t even mention all the crappy ones I’ve tasted in clubs and cheap bars).
M Lounge (Villa Sortino), Itaewon
Serein (Garosu-gil), Shinsa-dong
Woobar (W-Hotel), Gwangjang-dong
74, Cheongdam-dong
Lound, Cheongdam-dong
Club Function (Macaroni Market), Itaewon
So where is the master mixologist of mojito?

One of the venues sporting the nicest gallery-type interior.
Dear Chocolate is a chocolatier with a kicking interior. Apparently they won three designer awards for interior decor. Really looks like you are walking in a trendy gallery.
Some pictures and a very brief review after the jump.
