Nestled in the heart of Seoul's vibrant Jongno District, The Griffin Bar offers a unique blend of sophistication and local charm. This rooftop bar, perched on the 11th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel, provides a stunning backdrop of the city skyline, making it an ideal spot for both locals and travelers.

The Griffin Bar is renowned for its innovative cocktail menu, featuring a selection of drinks that blend traditional flavors with modern twists. One standout is the "Seoul Sour," a refreshing concoction of soju, yuzu, and a hint of ginger, perfectly balancing sweet and tart notes. Another must-try is the "Griffin Old Fashioned," which elevates the classic with a smoky infusion of Korean whiskey, offering a unique take on a timeless favorite.

 The Griffin Bar also serves a selection of small plates that pair beautifully with their cocktails. Don't miss the "Korean BBQ Sliders"—juicy beef patties topped with spicy kimchi and served on fluffy brioche buns.

 The "Matcha Tiramisu" is a delightful fusion of Italian and Japanese flavors, featuring layers of creamy matcha-infused mascarpone and coffee-soaked ladyfingers.

Conveniently located at 279 Cheonggyecheon-ro, The Griffin Bar is surrounded by some of Seoul's most iconic attractions.

Terrible. We were not topped up with drinks, empty bottles and glasses sat for two hours. Our meals came over 30 minutes apart. One drink came 30 minutes after we ordered it. It was the worst service I have had in many years. It was embarrassing.
