About this spot
Perched on the ninth floor of Myeongdong, The Roof Seoul offers skyline views that rival the city's most exclusive speakeasies without the pretense. While the cocktail list changes nightly, expect bold flavors like yuzu-infused gin or smoky mezcal cocktails that pair perfectly with a late-night stroll through the bustling shopping district.
