Over a friends' night out, the table shared Relax Riesling white wine (9%) with gambas & baguette, bacon tomato pasta and whole garlic chop steak, plus a plate of apple on the house at the end. With soft lighting and roomy seating, Hyehwarang works just as well for a group get-together as for a quiet date. ## Good to know - **Location**: 22-3 Daehak-ro 14-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul — Exit 4, Hyehwa Station (Line 4) - **Hours**: Weekdays 17:00–24:00 / Sat 16:00–01:00 / Sun 16:00–24:00 - **Parking**: No on-site parking; use the nearby Dongsung-ro parking lot (paid) - **Reservations**: Available through Catch Table and Naver Reservation - **Groups**: Full venue rental and company dinners available - **What we ordered**: Relax Riesling (white wine, 9%), whole garlic chop steak, bacon tomato pasta, gambas & baguette *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Today I visited Hyehwarang, a wine bar in Hyehwa with such a nice vibe 🍷 It had been a while since I hung out with friends and I wanted somewhere with good atmosphere — I was so satisfied haha.

I liked that it's away from the main road, so it was quiet. The moment you walk in, there's wine, sake, whiskey and more lined up at the entrance and counter! So many good drinks, my eyes were everywhere 👀 ![Wine and liquor bottles displayed at the entrance counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-02-4ckg4-900.webp) ![Shelves of sake and whiskey organized by type](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-03-1koui-900.webp) ![Spacious main hall seating in the hanok-concept wine bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-04-1rayi-900.webp) The place is really spacious and clean! Lots of seats and comfortable, so it looks great for booking as a group too 👍🏻 A hanok-concept wine bar! The lighting isn't harsh at all, it's soft and romantic! ![Hyehwarang's outdoor terrace seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-05-3po19-900.webp) There's outdoor seating too! On a nice day I bet it'd be lovely to drink wine outside. Such good interior... the bathroom was clean and nice too! ## Hyehwarang menu: how many wines are on the list? ![Hyehwarang's wine menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-06-54zwg-900.webp) ![Menu page continuing the wine list](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-07-1js7f-900.webp) ![Wine menu including premium selections](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-08-1wn35-900.webp) ![Liquor menu listing whiskey and beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-09-1ia54-900.webp) ![Final page of Hyehwarang's drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-10-mjx8b-900.webp) Looking at Hyehwarang's menu, they've got a pretty wide range of drinks, and especially a huge selection of wine! Price ranges go all the way up to premium lines. Wine lovers, you have to visit! There's also whiskey, beer and more, so even people who aren't into wine can enjoy themselves together haha 🍺🍾🍷🥂🥃 ![Food menu listing anju (drinking snacks)](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-11-17qq2-900.webp) The food menu is simple! Not many items, but they all looked delicious so it was such a struggle to decide,,,, We ordered the 'Relax Riesling' white wine, chosen because it felt like it matched Hyehwarang's relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. We were really hungry so we ordered these anju (drinking snacks) too. - Whole garlic chop steak - Bacon tomato pasta - Gambas & baguette ![Bottle of Relax Riesling served chilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-12-1f8ys-900.webp) ## What does the Relax Riesling white wine taste like? The staff prepared the wine nicely chilled for us. Our Relax Riesling had a sweet fruity aroma with just the right touch of acidity! It was low ABV at 9%, and the body was light, so it was easy to enjoy cleanly! I liked how neatly they poured it for us! ![Relax Riesling white wine poured into a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-13-mzdai-1200.webp) ![Wine glass set under soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-14-1jemt-900.webp) The Relax Riesling was so good, I want to come back and try other kinds of wine next time 🥂🥂 ## Food to share: gambas & baguette ![Hyehwarang's gambas & baguette spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-15-1l1ru-900.webp) Gambas & baguette. The bread was chewy and the gambas was genuinely delicious,,, ![Gambas packed with large shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-16-1eoi7-900.webp) ![Baguette for dipping into the garlic oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-17-10h76-899.webp) See how huge and plump the shrimp are!! There were plenty of them too. Loads of garlic, and dipping the baguette in the oil was so good. Highly recommend! It goes really well with wine. ### Bacon and tomato pasta at Hyehwarang ![Bacon tomato pasta set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-18-17njj-900.webp) ![Tomato pasta topped with large bacon pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-19-1dee0-900.webp) ![Thin noodles well coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-20-1m8r0-900.webp) The bacon pieces were huge! Plenty of sauce, and the tomato flavor was strong, so it paired really well with the wine. The noodles were super thin so they soaked up the sauce nicely. ![Table of anju with friends eating together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-21-1r34i-900.webp) *(the people who came to eat...)* (the people who came to eat...) ### Whole garlic chop steak There was plenty of steak along with onions, mushrooms, peppers and other vegetables. The portion was big so we got really full 🤤🤤 ![Whole garlic chop steak loaded with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-22-ia1xm-900.webp) ![Steak sliced into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-23-1h9gq-900.webp) The meat quality was excellent and so tasty. Another recommend! ![Plate of apple served on the house](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night-24-1eq73-900.webp) They even gave us an apple on the house 🍎🤍 Eating it at the end was such a refreshing finish, loved it. ## Who is Hyehwarang best for? There aren't many wine bars with this kind of atmosphere in Hyehwa, so I had such a great time at Hyehwarang! The lighting isn't too bright and the overall feel is calm, which made it easy to chat comfortably. With that hanok charm, I'd especially recommend it to couples who want a quiet date while taking pretty photos! ## Where it is - Hyehwarang (혜화랑) - 22-3 Daehak-ro 14-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 대학로14길 22-3 - 37.5843057, 127.0028009 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%9C%ED%99%94%EB%9E%91/@37.5843057,127.0028009,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@eulji-narrow-counter/hyehwa-hanok-wine-bar-riesling-night/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
