Antidote Antidote

Antidote is a cocktail bar on the second floor of a building between Daeheung Station and the Gyeongui Line Forest Park. Its name means a remedy for poison, and the bar extends that idea into a prescription-style menu of original drinks. Signatures use direct ingredient names such as basil, guava, and bokbunja, helping guests understand the central flavor before ordering. The basil drink combines gin, basil, and lemon, placing herbal aroma and bright acidity at the front. Fruit-based options create different levels of fragrance, sweetness, and tartness. The list also includes classic cocktails, whisky, and food, so the bar suits either a single drink or a longer visit with something to eat. Its emphasis is on approachable spirits and inventive cocktails rather than a large collection of rare, expensive whisky. The venue opens in the evening and runs later on Friday and Saturday than on most other nights. Reservations and visits with a dog are accepted, but dedicated parking is not available. Guests should find the entrance in the side street and go up to the second floor, where seats near the bartender make it easier to ask about unfamiliar ingredients.
