The 10 Best Bars in Gangnam, Seoul

If you are looking for an upscale brew in Seoul, be sure to head to Goose Island Brewhouse in Yeoksam-dong. While the prices are a little on the high end, the beer does not disappoint here. Guests have the choice between five types of drafts, 12 types of bottled beer, as well as options in cocktails and spirits. Moreover, there is a pretty decent food menu with anything from beer-battered calamari, chicken wings and salads.

Live jazz music does exist in Seoul – right here at Once in a Blue Moon. You might be even more surprised to learn that this type of venue is so popular in Seoul that the bar covers three entire floors, each with stages for local musicians to perform. Guests can enjoy the live music while having a mix of French, Mexican, and Korean snacks as well as wines, beers and cocktails of all kind.

Kwon Byeong-su, owner of Twelve Cheongdam, wanted to create a bar with a homey feel that, at the same time, serves classy and simple drinks. We sure are happy with the result. Twelve Cheongdam is a beautiful establishment that serves the usual drinks and food with a refined twist.

SAHM is a place where you can still find surprises. The crafty bartenders come up with new creations on the spot if you ask them for something different. Moreover, the vast collection of spirits and liquors is unlike any other in town. While SAHM is a small location, it’s a must-visit when looking for a good time in Gangnam.
