Gonggan operates out of a traditional hanok in Anguk-dong, Jongno-gu, redesigned with a sleek and contemporary interior. Listed among Asia's 100 Best Bars in 2024, the establishment is led by a head bartender with extensive experience in the Gangnam and Cheongdam areas. The cocktail program centers on a narrative that connects the Joseon era to modern times. Traditional Korean ingredients are integrated using whisky-making methods, resulting in drinks that maintain structural integrity. Every signature selection comes with a bite-sized snack tailored to complement the specific liquid profile. Beyond the printed menu, the staff accommodates requests for classic cocktails or bespoke creations. The bartenders provide detailed background on each drink, making the environment accessible for guests unfamiliar with craft cocktails. An intimate setting makes it a suitable choice for solo patrons as well. Opening hours begin at 4 p.m., catering to those looking for early evening drinks at reasonable prices. Potential visitors should be aware that the building's acoustics allow sound to travel easily between tables, which may lead to overhead conversations during busy periods.
