Words by Courtney Garcia: 6 Speakeasy Bars in Seoul to Drink Cocktails in StyleTwo neon red Chinese characters are your only beacon into this establishment. Descend into the basement, pass the punching bag, and tap the bell. Behind the nondescript door, you’re welcomed into a dark, ambient lit room with rich leather couches and scenes from classic American gangster movies like Scarface and The Godfather. While martinis and gin and tonics are the specialities (and most popular choices), the friendly bartenders here are specialists at catering cocktails to your personal tastes.
