This is the best spot I have ever been to in Korea! I don’t usually write reviews, but I have to recommend this amazing place to others. (Plus, they are very good at English.)
I visited during the daytime in summer (around 18:00), and the sunshine created beautiful scenery with leaf shadows. After the sun disappeared, the place transformed into a real jazz bar. If you really want to listen to music, weekdays are better than Fridays and Saturdays, as weekends can get very crowded. I recommend calling about 15 minutes before you arrive.

They have quite a lot of wines, including red, white, and sparkling options. The traditional Korean alcohol is also excellent. The tteokbokki and chicken steak pair very well with wine.

An extraordinary wine bar with a warm, inviting, and timeless atmosphere.

As soon as you walk in, the warm and cozy ambiance wraps around you, creating an immediate sense of comfort and relaxation.
It feels as if you’ve been transported out of time - you could just as easily be in Vienna as in New York. The beautiful décor is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, all set to the soothing sound of jazz in the background.

As an Italo-French guest, I was particularly impressed by the outstanding wine selection, which was both diverse and well-curated. The food was equally delightful, perfectly complementing the wines.
The two owners are genuinely attentive and go out of their way to ensure every guest feels special.

Whether you're looking for a cozy spot for an intimate date or a lively place to celebrate with friends, this wine bar hits all the right notes.
