Early to mid evening friendly and welcoming proper drinkers bar despite the colourful appearance with a calm relaxed and chilled out atmosphere. The small but tasty food menu showcases the Korean chef's expertise and I can confirm this as the pork dumplings I ordered complemented my beers perfectly.
