Cocktail bar in Yuseong, Daejeon for solo drinks: Mullae Hanjan

I visited Mullae Hanjan Solo Drinking Bar, Daejeon Bongmyeong Branch (문래한잔 혼술바 대전 봉명점) because I wanted to sit comfortably on my own, have a drink, and spend some time. I chose everything from sweet cocktails to a stronger option, and stayed while reading the guestbook.

Is it comfortable to visit alone?

Once inside, the space was larger than I expected. The tables were generously spaced, so it looked suitable even for a group. The atmosphere was softly lit, and I did not feel too self-conscious about standing out on my own, so I settled in comfortably.

What can you do while spending time alone?

There was a guestbook and a variety of games at the table. I drank while reading the messages other people had left, one by one. It was also nice to look through the games, making it a decent place to pass time alone.

There was also a portable battery rental machine. I tend to use my phone a lot when I am alone, so I thought being able to rent a battery if needed was useful.

How do cocktail ordering and payment work?

I used the QR code on the table to view the menu, order, and pay. It was convenient to choose from my seat without having to keep calling a staff member. There were many cocktails, so I spent a while looking before ordering options ranging from sweet drinks to one with a little more alcohol.

What did the cocktails I tried taste like?

How sweet was the Mullae Hanjan Signature?

My first drink was the Mullae Hanjan Signature. I chose it because it was described as a coffee-milk-like dessert cocktail, but to me there was barely any alcohol taste; it tasted like sweet chocolate milk. It suited my usual preference for sweet, smooth cocktails.

The jelly and chocolate served alongside it went well together, almost like eating a dessert. The sweet chocolate flavor stayed with me with every sip.

How were Peach Crush and Egen Hanjan different?

The second cocktail, Peach Crush, had a peach aroma and a sweet-tart flavor. It felt different from the chocolate-milk-like Signature, so it was a good drink to have next.

My third drink was Egen Hanjan. It was listed as 18% ABV, so I drank it slowly. It differed from the sweet cocktails I had first, but its subtle lemon aroma and refreshing flavor worked for me.

Even after trying the other cocktails, I kept thinking about the Signature's chocolate-milk-like flavor, so I ordered it once more. I still liked how smooth and sweet it was the second time.

Did Bongmyeong Hanjan have a strong alcohol taste?

Lastly, I chose Bongmyeong Hanjan because it was described as a combination of Balvenie flavor and milk. Others said the alcohol taste did not suit them, but I found it smoother than expected. It had a different flavor from the sweet cocktails I had earlier, and this one divided opinions.

Why did I stay longer than expected after going for solo drinks?

At first, I planned to have just one or two drinks and leave. But I naturally started chatting with people nearby and stayed longer than expected. I enjoyed the time reading the guestbook by myself, as well as talking with others. During my visit, I had both quiet time alone and time spent in conversation.
