Alice Cheongdam
Alice Cheongdam is Seoul’s enchanting speakeasy gem, ranked in Asia’s 50 Best Bars (#46 in 2024). Hidden behind a discreet flower shop, a narrow staircase and secret door lead you into a sophisticated, dimly lit lounge reminiscent of an English manor. Plush leather sofas, dark wood, velvet drapes, and whimsical Wonderland touches set the stage. The drink menu unfolds like the seasons—Spring’s fruity fresh elixirs, Summer’s vibrant and funky blends, Autumn’s warming depth, and Winter’s bolder, boozy creations. Signature concoctions like "Make Me Bigger" (rum, amaro, banana juice, tonka) and "Unbirthday Tea Party" (whiskey, oloroso, black tea, coconut) blend molecular techniques with theatrical flair. The bar even surprises you with a rabbit-shaped tiki mug for certain drinks, and playful theatrics—like glasses appearing magically—add to the Wonderland charm. Beyond the cocktails, Alice offers a premium back-bar selection—single malts, fine spirits, and local soju—as well as quirky bar snacks packed with whimsy. With daily hours until 3 AM (2 AM Sun–Thu, 3 AM Fri–Sat) and a smart cover charge for entry, Alice Cheongdam tends to fill up—reservations or timely arrivals are wise. Here, Alice Cheongdam isn’t just a bar—it’s an immersive journey into a topsy‑turvy wonderland of taste and sensation.
