The first time I went, I fell in love with the atmosphere at first sight, and the kindness and fun here make it a bar you can't stay away from! They regularly have limited-edition cocktails, collab cocktails, and seasonal events like Halloween, Christmas, and year-end countdowns — Shutter is always fun 🔥 Except for my very first visit with friends, I've been comfortable enough to go alone every time. Highly recommend!❤❤

As soon as you open the door, the first things you hear are people laughing and glasses clinking. The vibe isn't closed off to just regulars, so it feels less awkward even if you come alone! Even if you're stuck deciding from the menu, the staff are quick to pick up on what you like, so it never takes long to decide. Just telling them whether you want it sweet or refreshing, and roughly how strong you'd like it, was enough for them to point me in the right direction. The space has a lively energy overall, so after a while your voice naturally gets louder, and just sitting there, you get swept up in the same energy. It's not just about the cocktails here — I love how the air in the space always feels alive. The conversation flows naturally without dying out, so I think I'll be coming back here often whenever I'm in Jongno!!

The service here is great, and the cocktails are absolutely delicious. It's a bar where English, Japanese, and Korean are all spoken. In particular, guests visiting from Japan can enjoy themselves comfortably since Japanese is spoken here. For example, you can enjoy calls here like "Ginkirakini Kirakirakinni" or "Suisuisuisuni~"
