A speakeasy bar hidden beneath the Four Seasons Seoul, accessed through a concealed door disguised within a white marble wall. The interior blends Eastern and Western design under moody lighting, creating an intimate, ornate space that feels undeniably special. The bar achieved World's 50 Best Bars ranking at 42nd globally and 7th in Asia in 2021, establishing its international credentials. Non-hotel-guests pay a 10,000-won cover charge per person, which comes with a welcome drink, an amuse-bouche, and continuously refilled hand-cut potato chips and pecans - more than compensating for the fee. Cocktails are uniformly priced at 32,000 won (29,000 won for non-alcoholic), each thoughtfully crafted with distinctive recipes. Communicating your preferences to the bartender yields excellent personalized recommendations, and sitting at the bar adds a theater element as you watch the mixologists work. Bar seating cannot be reserved in advance, so availability is first-come; table seating works well for group conversation. A smart-casual dress code is expected, and the atmosphere favors intimate conversation over boisterous nightlife. An ideal choice for hosting international guests, celebrating special occasions, or a refined date night in the city center.
