About
A basement dining pub with media art, Korean-inspired plates, rice-wine tastings and a central bar near Sookmyung Women’s University Station.
Nine wall monitors play media art around the central bar at Refine Namyeong, a basement pub reached by a flight of stairs. The lighting is low and the room feels more composed than a typical drinks-and-snacks place, with seating that ranges from the bar to private rooms and tables for groups. It works for a date or a small gathering, but the polished setting comes with a menu that moves between Korean pub dishes and more restaurant-like plates. The limited-availability beef short ribs (우대갈비, ₩49,900) are repeatedly singled out and make sense with the traditional rice wines. For something softer, the cream sujebi (크림 수제비, ₩17,900) is a popular choice; the perilla-seed bibim pasta (들깨 비빔 파스타, ₩17,900) is another recurring recommendation. The grilled cabbage and scallop dish (알배추 관자구이) is praised for crisp cabbage and its juicy, broth-like juices. There are also seafood pancakes (해물파전, ₩18,900) and yukhoe (육회, ₩21,000) if you want familiar Korean drinking food. Staff are often described as helpful with drink recommendations, and rice-wine tastings let you sample before choosing. Book through CatchTable or Naver Booking if you want to secure a table; reviewers report a 10% booking discount, so check the terms when you reserve. Once seated, order from the QR code on the table. It is about a minute’s walk from Sookmyung Women’s University Station Exit 6. The pub opens at 5pm daily, closing at midnight Sunday through Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday. There is no building parking; paid parking is available nearby. This suits couples, friends, and small work or invitation gatherings who want drinks with a broader menu than standard pub snacks. The trade-off is that prices feel high to some visitors, and the mix of fine-dining presentation and pub-style dishes may not feel entirely coherent.
