ZEST

A polished room and a clear point of view make this one of Seoul’s standout cocktail bars. Zest is known for drinks built around Korean ingredients and a zero waste approach, but the place never feels like a concept first and a bar second. What makes it worth visiting is the combination of precision and ease: cocktails with real character, service that stays warm, and a mood that feels refined without becoming stiff. In Apgujeong, it offers a sharp look at how modern Seoul drinks now.
