What is the solo score?

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.

Go here when you want a calm, hanok-styled cocktail and whiskey bar that’s set up for one-person visits. The bar table is the easiest seat—solo guests are shown there—while the room stays quiet enough to actually enjoy the drink and the setting. It’s open nightly from 19:00 to 02:00, and the best time to arrive is right after opening before it fills up.
