About
Vinyl bar in Euljiro. Drinks + records + retro Seoul.
Climb the stairs to the second floor and the owner is already threading a stylus onto a Glenfiddich ad-era LP. The walls at 을지FM are lined floor-to-ceiling with vinyl—Beatles, Korean city-pop, dusty jazz sleeves—and the turntable sits at counter level where you can watch the grooves spin under warm overhead bulbs. Counter seats fill first for exactly this reason. By nine on a weekday the tables are full of office teams nursing highballs, but the crowd thins hard after eleven when the last trains loom. The house pours Jim Beam highballs with lemon and rosemary, and wines run from Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon to single-malts like Ardbeg 10. Brie arrives baked on a wooden board with honey, blueberries, crackers, and mixed nuts—engineered for slow picking between sips. Mini pretzels land with every drink order. There's pizza if you're hungry, but most people string together small plates and let the music do the work. Write your request on a memo slip at the counter: if they own the record, it plays; if not, the owner streams it and nods when the track drops. One regular's handwritten note still sits in a drawer somewhere asking for Sung Si-kyung. Weekdays before nine, or after midnight on weekends, grant you a quieter room and better odds at the turntable-facing seats. Cards only. No English menu, but the staff pours drinks in front of you and pointing works. Post a Naver receipt review and they'll slide over a mini brie plate or a cold Stella without asking.
