Art C Company

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


A three-storey design and music-themed cafe located in an alley adjacent to Garosu-gil. Each floor brings a slightly different atmosphere, from cafe decorated with vinyl records and turntables, to kitsch basement bar and lounge decorated with towering contemporary artworks and pumping out retro music and hip-hop until 3am. The rose-petal-topped ‘Rose Garden’ cocktail is delicious and not too strong.
