Zoo Sindang

We loved every aspect of our experience here. The food was delicious and flavourful. And cocktails were very balanced and creative. We had a potato pancake, pasta and the fruit salad and we could have easily had another plate of each as we enjoyed it so much. The drinks menu is very unique, which makes it hard to choose but we opted for the rabbit, lamb and mouse. The staff are very engaging and speak English well. We would definitely come back!

There was no waiting. It was very easy to come in and get seated. I also liked that you can actually taste the subtle notes without it being too overwhelming and changing the taste of the drink as a whole. We got the Cat Cake and it was not quite not as an overwhelming sweet taste, it was just enough. We got the Pig and Mouse drink, definitely a little unique but worth a try!! Definitely add it to your Things to do in Seoul Checklist!!!

Think all the reviews about needing a Korean phone number are a bit outdated. Went there on a Friday at 8pm and got in immediately after scanning QR code. Staff were really nice and went on to explain every drink and food item in English when they easily could have ignored us. Drinks all a little bit on the sweet side but worth the price, with some really memorable ideas. Despite people standing around my girlfriend couldn't see the entrance, so passes the secret bar test 😀

Vibes was immaculate and drinks are incredibly creative. Definitely put this in your things to do in Seoul! It’s easily accessible via Sindang station but the entrance is a bit hidden so be sure to keep a lookout. We ended up ordering the hen, dragon, and lamb. Some drinks also offer mocktail options for those who don’t drink.

From the hidden entrance & decor to the food and cocktails this place is amazing. However the highlight was the staff that explained everything about each element of the menu and signature drinks. 100% recommend.

Excellent adress, the site is amazing beautiful decoration immersed in the jungle. Cocktails signatures are based on the zodiac and the food is even better. The bar tender were really nice and welcoming. Electro lounge music is well chosen to fit the atmosfere. The bar is super cosy, there is not so much space so not coming as a group is preferable. I highly recommend !

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.

Cute speakeasy, was a fun adventure trying to find the spot. A creative and thoughtful menu! Came on a Monday with no wait, a good thing to do in Seoul.
