ZEST SEOUL

I just visited the No.1 bar in Asia 2025 in Hong Kong, and now I’m here at the No.2 bar in Asia 2025, Korea! The bar is super busy, and their cocktails are creative with an interesting twist! Definitely not boring. The bartender is very professional and clearly knows how to craft a great drink. The place itself is quite small and a bit crowded, with a lively (and slightly loud) atmosphere. It’s easy to get here by train and only about a 5mins walk from the station. Personally, after visiting both the No.1 and No.2 ranked bars, I’d say each has its own unique personality and completely different vibe. The ranking is just a number, therefore both are absolutely worth visiting.

This is one of the best bars in the world for reason! Drinks are superb! Atmosphere is lovely and loose, most importantly bartenders make it very pleasant and fun! Reservation is strongly recommended.

We just had to visit the best bar in Korea and were not disappointed - please note that there will be quite some waiting time if you don’t have a reservation! The staff was incredibly friendly and explained a lot about the cocktails taste profile. The cocktails are really creative and complex in taste, wich we absolutely loved. The prices are reasonable in my opinion (compared with € cocktail prices). The ambience is dark and moody with cool music. Since the bar is always packed expect it to be a bit more noisy though. We didn’t mind. All in all, highly recommend if you want to taste something new and unexpected.

This is the best bar ever I have ever had. The cocktails are made by fresh and natural ingredients. The different level of taste is very impressive. This is the no.1 bar in Seoul you shall not miss even with busy schedule!

Deserving of all the recognition and praise. This bar focuses on sustainability and zero waste. We didn't try any of the food, but enjoyed the free chips provided. The cocktails were all great. Their take on an old fashioned was one of the best I've had. The service was great and the bartenders can recommend the perfect cocktails for your tastes.

Very lucky to get 4 seats for a quick 45mins drinks by walk-in, totally worth it. Love the cocktails with full respect of traditional Korean food culture in creative presentation. Also love the kind and professional service there. Looking forward to visit again.

Wife wanted to try this place based on high rank, and it did not disappoint. She absolutely loved their take on the Expresso martini, and both my Soy caramel (old fashioned) and rice lunch were excellent. Nice calm atmosphere to enjoy specialty cocktails, prices at 26k each
