About
Cozy speakeasy cocktail and whisky bar hidden behind a vintage phone booth entrance near Moran Station.
Tucked away in Seongnam’s bustling Moran neighborhood, Seongjisulrye presents itself as a true speakeasy. Guests enter through a deceptive mint-colored telephone booth, stepping off the alley into a dimly lit hideaway scented with incense and fabric softener from steaming hand towels. The intimate room holds four tables alongside a wooden counter, outfitted with stable, wide stools designed with footrests and bag hooks. Vintage coasters, corked water bottles, and shelves lined with whisky establish a quiet retreat for low-key dates or late-night drinks. The bar functions with an open-ended, bespoke rhythm. While classic cocktails, wine, and whiskies populate the written menus, guests frequently opt for off-menu requests simply by asking the bartenders for “anything.” Bartenders tailor drinks on the fly to individual tolerances and personal tastes. One competition-inspired creation themed around nineties neon balances low alcohol levels with a sugar-dusted cherry resembling a disco ball, offering subtle dairy and fruit notes over harsh syrup. Another bespoke order yields the Wildflower, a floral glass brightened by amaretto and fresh lime, while spirit-forward classics like the smoky, sharp French Connection demonstrate precision with darker spirits. The sister location, Seongjisulrye Zero, continues this ethos underground, hiding its door behind an operational rotary phone and shaking up sessionable originals like the pale, gentle White Noise. Seongjisulrye eschews pretension for craft and hospitality, making it a natural secondary stop after dinner in the area. With non-alcoholic alternatives alongside single malts and tailored pours, it transforms a playful entrance into a dependable neighborhood sanctuary.
