The Timber House, located in the basement level of the Park Hyatt Seoul in Gangnam (Teheran-ro), offers an elegantly crafted night-out experience combining lounge intimacy, premium spirits and live musical performances. From the moment you descend into the space, you’ll notice a rich wooden interior (hence “Timber”), plush seating arrangements, soft ambient lighting, and a stage area for live performances. Time Out describes the venue as one of the best hotel bars in Seoul, divided into themed sections: a Sushi/Sake/Soju bar, a Cocktail bar, and a Whisky bar — each with high calibre offerings. Drinks-wise, The Timber House stands out. The whisky section features premium and vintage bottles; the cocktail section showcases signature creations crafted by award-winning bartenders. For example, one review mentions a “Park Hyatt Negroni” made with local gin and botanicals, and others highlight imaginative soju-based or gin-based cocktails. Music is a core part of the experience too: live jazz and band performances are scheduled across the week (especially evenings Tue–Sat) which adds a sophisticated but relaxed soundtrack to the drinks. Service and ambiance are geared toward a refined crowd—business gatherings, date nights, connoisseurs of spirits—rather than loud clubbing. One review mentions the happy-hour (5–7 pm) which offers significant value for quality drinks in this setting. Overall, if you’re in Seoul and looking for a bar that combines craft drinks, premium spirits, live jazz and a polished yet comfortable setting in the heart of Gangnam, The Timber House hits the mark.
