Why it works solo
Yeonnam Speakeasy-Style Cocktail Bar
Go here when you want a calm, proper honsul setup in Yeonnam rather than a loud Hongdae street stop. Catalyst Yeonnam has dachi-style counter seats facing the bartender, so you can watch your drink get built, plus small 1–2 person bar tables. The movie/LP-inspired, speakeasy-like mood stays low-key, and it’s open late for a second or third round.
