About
Apgujeong Rodeo cocktail den — dark wood, stiff classics.
The Garrison holds Apgujeong Rodeo's classic-cocktail line: dark wood, stiff pours, and a Saturday jazz program (9-11:40pm, 10,000-won cover) that converts the den into the district's best analog evening — early arrival at 7-8pm secures the seats that matter. The kitchen's flex breaks genre: a prime rib documented as exceptional for a bar, ordered as a legitimate main rather than garnish. House rules run traditional — one-drink minimum, no corkage, age restrictions enforced — and the hidden speakeasy room (300,000-won minimum) serves private occasions. Valet at 10,000 won solves Apgujeong's parking hostility. Hours: 7pm to 2am, 4am Friday-Saturday. Naver or phone reservations are Saturday-essential. Rodeo's bar scene chases novelty; the Garrison garrisons the classics — wood, jazz, beef, and brown spirits, holding position.
Local tips

- Saturday jazz performances run 9pm–11:40pm with 10,000 KRW cover charge per person; arrive early (7–8pm) to secure seating.
- Prime rib steak is exceptional for a bar; order as main dish, not just appetizer.
