Namyeong-dong whisky bar for a birthday: meatball pasta at B421
B421 is a wine and whisky bar tucked inside the Namyeong-dong food alley near Sukdaeipgu Station in Yongsan, Seoul. Three of us went to celebrate a friend's birthday and ordered duck steak (25,000 won), mushroom cream pasta (17,000 won) and beef chili meatball pasta (15,000 won) with La Brava Cava semi-seco (49,000 won), Balvenie 12 on the rocks (21,000 won) and a Maker's Mark highball (11,000 won). Between the wine bottle labelled with the reservation name and the low, dim lighting, B421 works just as well for a birthday table as for a date.
