Our 1–10 rating of how easy this place is to enjoy on your own: whether there is a natural seat for one, how simple it is to order, how staff treat solo guests, and whether the room gives you something to settle into. A 9 or 10 means arriving alone is completely normal here.
Bardo is a low-key, speakeasy-style cocktail bar tucked in Sejong Arcade basement near Gwanghwamun Station. It’s an easy honsul stop because the drinks stay simple—get a Negroni (they offer multiple styles) and you can settle into a cozy setup with comfortable host conversation. Come early for a calmer vibe, then linger at your own pace.
