Bars · Hongdae & Mapo
Selected vinyl records fill the room at Bar Kian, where single-malt whisky and music-inspired house cocktails give you a reason to settle in and listen. It suits a solo drink or a date built around the soundtrack, especially if a substantial, spirit-forward drink appeals.

Why visit
- Bar Kian is an evening stop for listeners who want vinyl music alongside whisky or a named house cocktail. In a December 2024 account, Polle reviewer 석슐랭 described a classic bar where the selected records filled the room, and recommended it for a solo drink or a date.Polle+1
Start with your drink preference
- The reviewer ordered Chet Baker from the signature cocktail list and described a strong alcoholic impression. If you enjoy a drink with presence, ask the bartender about its ingredients and sweetness. The same writer considered single-malt whisky the bar’s main focus and felt the prices were substantial, though worthwhile for the setting. Compare a whisky pour with a cocktail according to what you actually want to drink.Polle
Come for the records
- For 석슐랭, the carefully selected vinyl records were central to the experience: music filled the room rather than merely supplying background sound. They recommended the bar for drinking alone or with a partner. This makes it a stronger prospect for an evening centred on listening than for someone whose priority is quiet conversation.Polle
Check the current menu before ordering
- Tabling currently lists another named cocktail, Let’s Get It On, at ₩27,000. Ask for the current cocktail and by-the-glass whisky prices before choosing, especially if you have a firm budget. The original visitor identifies the bar at 25-6 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, on the first floor.tabling+1
