Yeonnam-dong bar with a traditional liquor tasting set: Ijillirya
Ijillirya Yeonnam is a wood-toned Korean bar one alley off the main street in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul, where a traditional liquor tasting set is served alongside signature anju (drinking snacks). After a personal color wedding consultation, the writer ordered spicy beef belly hotpot and seafood banga jeon and sampled three traditional liquors from the self-serve bar, talking all evening without raising her voice. For a Yeonnam-dong date built on quiet, unhurried conversation, Ijillirya Yeonnam is worth remembering.
