I only told him my cocktail preference, and he made the cocktail exactly the flavor I wanted!! I think it was an experience that could only be had at Embargo👍🏻👍🏻🤩 I also ordered the French Wreck, and it was so delicious... I ate it so quickly that I don't have a picture.😋 The chair was so comfortable that I stayed there for a long time and didn't feel any discomfort! I think I'll go again next time~!!

It was a bar with a classic vibe!! The music was good, the lighting was dark and soft, and I really liked the atmosphere and interior design. The quality of the food and cocktails was high, and the service was sophisticated, so I was overall satisfied. I recommend it if you want to have a leisurely drink in a place with a nice atmosphere!

I've been here a few times with friends, but this was my first time visiting on Sunday! A quiet atmosphere and music unique to Sunday!! And even whiskey recommendations tailored to your individual tastes!! I had a great time! I didn't take a picture, but there's a special menu so you can go when you're hungry🤗

‘EMBARGO’, a quietly hidden bar inside Cheongdam’s alley. As soon as you open the door and enter, you can smell the wood and hear jazz music... The atmosphere was really nice. The first drink was the signature cocktail, Penicillin. The smoky whiskey with a hint of lime on top made me feel like the fatigue of the day went away. Bowmore 12y can also be drunk by the glass, so it will be quite attractive for those who like whiskey! The price for 5 people including service charge was 249,000 won, which was a better price than I expected considering it's located in Cheongdam. Next time, I want to start with a Negroni with some alcohol. This is a place I recommend when you want to have a cocktail in a nice atmosphere!

The CEO is famous for his delicious restaurants. Eat a lot of persimmons. Cassis oranges are delicious...
