Why it works solo
Mangwon’s Counter Jazz Bar
Go here when you want live jazz without the pressure of finding a table—there’s counter seating right by the piano area, so solo drinks feel natural. Order at the counter, grab a glass of wine, and settle in as the set plays. Expect a small performance cover (7,000 KRW mentioned), so plan for it when shows are running.
