About
Concept cocktail bar in Hongdae where drinks are themed as remedies—each named after herbal ingredients (pine needle, bellflower) with playful health benefits listed on the menu. Intimate wood-toned interior with vinyl and vintage bottles, personal menu cards kept on shelves for regulars.
Antidote themes its Hongdae-Daeheung cocktails as remedies: drinks named for herbal ingredients — pine needle, bellflower — with playful health benefits listed menu-side, the apothecary conceit executed through a laboratory-arranged bar counter (the documented best seat) and an owner whose sommelier-level recommendations favor the spirit-forward, non-sweet end on request. The regulars' ritual is the charm: Naver reservations generate personalized menu cards — name and date — kept on the shelves for return visits, membership by stationery. The wood-toned room runs vinyl and vintage bottles at intimate scale; post-7pm arrivals find the quieter register. Seasonal rotation means the herbal signatures come and go — availability questions are expected. Hours: 6pm-1am (2am weekends). Prescribe yourself accordingly: the antidote, shelved under your name.
