Beautiful speakeasy with a nice relaxed vibe. Such a great escape from the chaos of Koreatown! Mixology is on point.

Tucked above the fantastic Osamil restaurant, you have a standout sophisticated speakeasy bar. Intimate and upscale, you have a perfect setting to impress a date or out of town guests. Cocktails are creative and delicious mixing unique Korean ingredients. Each drink is a work of art, beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. However, be prepared for a high end experience to come with a high end price tag. Cocktails are above $20. Service could be improved for the type of establishment and price. I felt a bit rushed while we were there and was never checked on. As much of a fan of the Osamil restaurant, I expected better service. Regardless, worth the visit if you’re in the area and looking for a unique cocktail experience.

The cocktails were fine, comparable to any other bar. Concept/menu is cool & atmosphere is lounge-y. However, absolutely terrible service. they started discussing ordering “last call” for the table 30 minutes into sitting down and slammed the check down after we ordered “last call” while we were mid-cheers saying they have reservations waiting. To our surprise, there were plenty of open tables and not a huge line waiting as they made it seem. Overall super aggressive waitstaff, rolling their eyes when asking for napkins, couldn’t be bothered with anything other than rushing us out.
There seem to be many other reviews that say the same. Can’t enjoy a leisurely drink here - it’s NYC, save the vibe for your night and go somewhere else there are plenty of options.

Horrible place. Literally dropped the bill on us and rushed us out while we were mid conversation and there only for a little while. Never been personally rushed out of anywhere like this ever. I do not recommend this place.

A hidden speakeasy near K-town that my friend insisted we check out. At first, we thought we’d been duped. We walked into what looked like a regular Korean pub downstairs and thought, this can’t be it. But we soon realized there was a staircase leading to an entirely different world upstairs: moody lighting, mellow jazz, and just enough secrecy to feel cool without trying too hard.

We showed up a little after midnight on a Saturday and somehow snagged the last table (they were leaving as we went up). The place was slammed, so our drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive, and by 1am, they were already calling last orders (even though closing time is listed as 2am… suspicious, but fine). We only had time for two drinks (Baebae and the Harubang) both fruit-forward and easy to sip, without the overwhelming sweetness. Not life-changing, but definitely a good time if you’re in it for the vibes.

A stylish and cozy bar with a great selection of cocktails and whiskey. It wasn’t too loud, which made it easy to have a comfortable conversation. The woman who took care of our table was incredibly kind, and Enock, who also stopped by to check on us from time to time, was just as friendly. The quality of the bites menu was also excellent!

Highly recommend stopping by here if you are ever in the area! The ambiance is so romantic! I didn't reserve but was able to get bar seats on a weeknight. Wish the bar seats had back support which can be uncomfortable after an hour of sitting there.

I appreciated the knowledge of my server who knew exactly which drinks we would like, and was spot on with the recommendation! Trust their instinct when you come here :)

Try the O.E if you like margarita flavors, or try the Lime & Leaf made with alcohol if you like something not spirit heavy but sweet & sour taste!

Had two drinks, one bottle of Pellegrino, and one order of Chicken soy and garlic. Chicken was delicious but bite size. Noise level was loud and had to shout to hear conversation.

I am 90% sure they use fake/bad alchohol base for cocktails. I always have 3-4 drinks at ANY bar and NEVER get headache, but i get headache twice from this bar right after i finish only ONE drink here.

Gorgeous setting. The chicken bites are great but the charcuterie was below average. I felt rushed and forced to buy at every moment. The prices are way higher than similar quality in the area.
