Dahee
address: 69road 7, Yeoidaebang-ro Yeoido-dong,Yeongdeungpo-guThis is the oldest korean cocktail bar and there is the oldest korean bartender. You can enjoy all over 20 cocktails for just 5,000 won. However you can not enjoy over 4 cups of coctail at once. The bar pretty small that others won't be able to enjoy it if you stay too long. But don't disappointed, the bartender makes cocktail very toxic. So if you take 4 cups of cocktail then you should go home.
