Why it works solo
TO-BE Counter Cocktail Bar
Go here when you want a Hongdae-area cocktail stop that’s built for one: the main seating is bar-counter style, so you can order one drink at a time without feeling on display. The vibe leans social and lively, with frequent cocktail-show/event energy that keeps the evening moving. Expect a simple snack (often pretzel) plus easy-to-pick cocktail options, ideal for a calm solo unwind.
