Why it works solo
HaNook Jonggak Counter Cocktails
Go here when you want a calm, hanok-styled cocktail and whiskey bar that’s set up for one-person visits. The bar table is the easiest seat—solo guests are shown there—while the room stays quiet enough to actually enjoy the drink and the setting. It’s open nightly from 19:00 to 02:00, and the best time to arrive is right after opening before it fills up.
