About
Nakwon-dong café-bar in a rescued motel — Ikseon's retro nightcap.
Nagwonjang rescued a Nakwon-dong motel and turned its bones into Ikseon's best vertical café-bar: order on the first floor, climb five landings of the old yeogwan (no elevator — the house admits the ascent is tiring and scenic in equal measure), and emerge on a rooftop where hanok rooftiles spread below in the district's definitive overhead view. The retro conversion keeps the motel's skip-floor oddity as character; the 4-10pm window is documented prime time for the roof, when afternoon light hands over to lantern glow. Crowd calculus: Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch run packed, pre-11am arrivals buy quiet. Pet-friendly throughout, indoors and out. Daily 9am-10:30pm. As Ikseon nightcaps go, a rescued motel roof over the hanok sea is the district's most atmospheric altitude.
