Atmosphere: 7.5/10
Located in Sindang-dong, Seoul, Zoo Sindang looks more like a technicolor jungle than a cocktail bar — packed with fake plants, Chinese zodiac characters, and tree installations stretching from floor to ceiling. The backbar is barely visible and clearly not a focus here. Music leans house/lounge at a pleasant, conversation-friendly volume. The space is maximalist but intentional.
Drinks: 7/10
Recommended drink: –
Menu is creative and themed — each zodiac has its own cocktail, with strength, ingredients, and tasting notes clearly laid out. Presentation is generally strong, with good-quality glassware and fitting coasters. Garnishes vary — some drinks are dressed up, others left plain — so it averages out. It’s more about the show than refinement.
Service: 6/10
Water wasn’t served. Team is professional, but too much going on to call it attentive. Worst part? The brutal waitlist system: you sign up via app, get zero wait time estimate, and then have only three minutes to get in when they call you. Miss it and you’re out. This forces people to just linger in front. Prices are above average and don’t come with a premium feel.
