BAR NOTES BAR NOTES

Bartenders' own stories run through the seasonal menu near Hyochang Park Station, with each drink credited to the person who created it. The Writers Martini arrives with a scented pen and paper so you can write while sipping; it is strong and meant to go slowly. Yongmun Cheongwa is another signature, and Forest is lower in alcohol with a matcha note. Campari drinks are another strength; one twist on the Americano cocktail adds makgeolli soda and is topped with makgeolli jelly. Beyond the list, the bartenders will build a drink from flavors you describe, and a cheese plate covers snacks. Strength ranges from light drinks to whisky on the rocks, and the calm room suits a quiet second round. The bar sits on a residential lane in Yongmun-dong.
