My Little Cave
마이리틀케이브
About
Cozy, cave-like LP bar and listening hideaway in Yeoksam offering highballs, wine, books, and vinyl jazz tunes.
Tucked above a coffee shop on the third floor near Yeoksam Station, My Little Cave lives up to its name with low-lit, cave-like intimacy and wood-toned warmth. Part vinyl listening bar and part bookish hideaway, the space is lined with shelves of novels, curated book quotes, and vinyl records spinning jazz tones. By day, weekday patrons can book an afternoon tea session dubbed "skipping out," while evening transforms the room into a moody haven for nightcaps. Depending on the night, the vibe shifts between quiet, introspective reading sessions along the row of window seats and lively, conversational Friday night chatter around the plush sofas and round tables. The bar caters thoughtfully to solo drinkers and duos looking to decompress after work. Guests often doodle with provided crayons or flip through shared guestbook diaries, reading scribbles left behind by strangers before adding their own thoughts. The drinks list spans wine, whisky, and approachable cocktails. Refreshing, easy-drinking options include citrus-forward yuzu and grapefruit highballs, as well as non-alcoholic alternatives, while wine drinkers lean toward accessible bottles like Bread & Butter Pinot Noir. Complimentary biscuit sticks that evoke dipped chocolate snack stems arrive first, but the kitchen also turns out well-paired bites. Light plates like tangy tomato marinades tossed with salty olives make easy companions to highballs, while the burrata served alongside seasonal fruit delivers a rich, milky contrast. Cap off a glass with playful house touches, like a lucky draw that might yield a scoop of croffle-scented ice cream. Whether claiming a quiet perch by the window with a novella or tucking into a private corner table to share a bottle, this Gangnam refuge offers a grounded, atmospheric escape from the district's frenetic pace.
