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 whiskey without the awkwardness—Identity Yeonnam is set up around counter seating facing the bartender. You can order one pour, ask what to try next, and browse bottles along the wall while you wait. The menu is whiskey- and cocktail-forward, and there’s simple bar-style snack service to keep the night easy. Open daily 7pm–4am for late-night Hongdae solo plans.
