Nestled in Cheongdam-dong, Le Chamber is one of Seoul’s most iconic speakeasy bars. Behind an unassuming bookshelf entrance lies a dimly lit subterranean lounge with soaring ceilings, plush leather seating, glittering chandeliers, and mellow live piano music. Elaborate signature cocktails like the Mori Kiri (green‑tea martini with dry‑ice smoke) and Chamber Story (spiced rum, tropical fruits, hazelnut, bitters served inside a book) showcase flair and storytelling in every sip. Founded by world-class bartenders Eom Do‑hwan and Lim Jae‑jin—winners of Diageo’s World Class Korea—and later joined by champion bartender Park Sung‑min, the bar exemplifies “fine drinking”: slow, curated, memorable and refined. Expect meticulous service, a curated menu presented in hardcover books, and over 200 whiskies, plus house‑made ingredients like fermented pours and ginger beer. The 50-seat venue also offers VIP bottle storage and occasionally draws K‑pop stars for intimate Gatsby‑style cocktails. With main cocktails around ₩27,000 (USD 25) and occasional bar charge or entrance fee (₩10,000), Le Chamber ranks among the most premium cocktail experiences in Seoul.
