For their first wedding anniversary, a couple sat at a ground-floor indoor table and ordered the BTS Meal set, swapping the drink for a non-alcoholic melon pop since they don't drink, alongside Bodeumi shell pasta, Juju's steak strips, and a mini cheese plate. Between the music, the exotic atmosphere, and the owner couple's stories, they gave it five stars as an anniversary date course. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Wed–Fri 18:00–23:00 / Sat–Sun 16:00–23:00 - **Closed**: Every Monday and Tuesday - **House rule**: One dish and one drink order per person (waived if ordering bottled wine or whiskey) - **Ordering**: Order via QR code at the table, pay at the 1st-floor counter on your way out - **Seating**: 1st floor indoor & outdoor tables, 2nd floor with 2 tables, 3rd floor private room and terrace - **3rd-floor private room**: Reservation only, 4–7 people, ₩200,000 weekdays / ₩250,000 weekends & holidays (8+ people inquire separately; whole 1st–3rd floor rental available) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Exterior of Sugar Hill wine bar in Haebangchon's Sinheung Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-01-1j0q7-1200.webp) Sugar Hill 99-15 Sinheung-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea Wed/Thu/Fri 18:00 - 23:00 Sat/Sun 16:00 - 23:00 Closed every Monday and Tuesday House rule: one dish and one drink per person (drink order required, but waived if ordering bottled wine or whiskey) ## A wine bar in Haebangchon's Sinheung Market for our first wedding anniversary Let me introduce a special, mood-filled space my husband and I visited for our first wedding anniversary! It's a small restaurant, bar, and culture space tucked into Sinheung Market in Haebangchon — 📍Sugar Hill. It had been a while since we'd gone on a date in Itaewon, and thanks to the fresh, exciting atmosphere that felt like we'd traveled abroad, we had such a happy time. ![Interior atmosphere at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-02-1si7y-900.webp) It's a place that serves house-made dishes alongside carefully chosen wines, whiskeys, and signature cocktails. With music curated by a musician-chef, the flavors, atmosphere, and stories all blend together naturally — such a charming space. ![Tasteful interior decor pieces at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-03-1r9qh-900.webp) ![Interior decor and lighting inside Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-04-48hfy-900.webp) ![Exotic space details at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-05-4puzn-900.webp) The interior was so tasteful, and every little decor piece had such sense that it made us even more comfortable on our date! Both the owner and staff were incredibly kind, so my mind stayed at ease throughout the whole meal. We took a seat at an indoor table on the 1st floor 🤎 ![1st-floor indoor table seat at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-06-s2ecs-900.webp) ![Table setting on the 1st floor of Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-07-1nxmy-900.webp) ![Atmosphere around the 1st-floor seating at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-08-7cnae-900.webp) ![QR code ordering sign at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-09-ag443-900.webp) How to order: you conveniently order from your seat via a QR code, then pay at the 1st-floor counter on your way out! ## What is the special BTS Meal set? We ordered Sugar Hill's special BTS Meal set! Here, BTS stands for... Bites (great food), Tunes (good music), and Spirits (a drink and good conversation)! It's a menu that carries the wish for good food, music, and stories with people to come together — and it felt even more special knowing it was reinterpreted in Sugar Hill's own way, based on the owner's real experience as a producer for the global McDonald's BTS Meal campaign. ![Outdoor table at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-10-on85s-900.webp) An outdoor table ### Don't drink? No problem — swapped for a non-alcoholic melon pop ![Drink from the BTS Meal set at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-11-11ayv-900.webp) The set normally lets you choose between (House wine or Obok) white/red wine or the Obok cocktail, but since we don't drink, we asked to swap it for the non-alcoholic 'melon pop' menu item instead, and enjoyed it a lot! ![Non-alcoholic melon pop with melon soda and ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-12-1ry8h-900.webp) Melon soda with ice cream and a cherry ### 1. Bodeumi shell pasta Inside big shell-shaped pasta shells ![Plate of Bodeumi shell pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-13-14449-900.webp) ...is a generous ricotta-cheese-centered filling, topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and baked in the oven — an Italian dish. ![Shell pasta topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-14-cdjs0-900.webp) The tangy tomato sauce and rich, savory cheese struck a perfect balance, and the combination of chewy pasta and soft cheese was really appealing! ### 2. Juju's steak strips A signature dish combining chef Juju's special oregano signature sauce with sous-vide searing technique! ![Juju's sous-vide steak strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-15-1vgrr-900.webp) Because the meat is sous-vide aged for a long time at a precise temperature, the inside was really tender with moisture and juices perfectly preserved. The surface was seared golden brown over high heat, giving it a rich, savory flavor. The oregano sauce was tangy and refreshing, cutting through any greasiness in the meat, so I enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish! ![Cross-section of steak strips with oregano sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-16-1mmoa-900.webp) ### 3. Mini cheese plate Made up of savory cheese, shine muscat grapes, and cute Haribo jelly — perfect for cleansing the palate! The cheese was arranged to evoke the BTS logo, with the purple representing ARMY fans and the Haribo representing the members 💜 (they explained this to us) ![Mini cheese plate with shine muscat grapes and Haribo](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-17-19t49-900.webp) One of the cheeses had a jalapeño finish, and all three were savory cheeses that would go even better with wine!! ![Full spread of the BTS Meal set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-18-rmorb-900.webp) ![Table at Sugar Hill after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-19-zox5v-900.webp) ## What are the 2nd and 3rd floors like? Time to take a look around Sugar Hill after finishing our meal ### 2nd floor On the 2nd floor, the kitchen is hidden behind a curtain, and there were 2 tables set up! ### 3rd floor ![3rd-floor private room at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-20-1nnno-900.webp) *Private room* On Sugar Hill's 3rd floor, there's a gorgeous terrace space that lifts your mood, along with a private room hidden away inside Sinheung Market! It's a space where you can feel the exotic vibe of Sinheung Market while spending precious time privately, at your own pace. It even has its own dedicated terrace and private bathroom, so it must be even more comfortable!! In particular, every little decor piece on the 3rd floor held the owner couple's memories and life in a tasteful way! Items the owner brought directly from Africa, his instruments as a musician, even a single poster — he briefly explained each one, which made looking around feel even more meaningful. 💜 It was a meaningful time that made my husband and I resolve to live even more charmingly going forward💜 ### Private room conditions - How it works: reservation-only (available for 4 to 7 people) - Cost: ₩200,000 on weekdays / ₩250,000 on weekends and holidays - Great for dinners with loved ones, birthdays, small gatherings, book clubs, creative meetings, author meetups, brand events, and more - 8+ people should inquire separately / renting the entire 1st–3rd floor is also possible The terrace space you find beyond the pink door ![Terrace space at Sugar Hill beyond the pink door](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-21-1mmoj-900.webp) ![3rd-floor terrace seating at Sugar Hill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-22-1ftnb-900.webp) ![Sugar Hill terrace overlooking Sinheung Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic/sugarhill-haebangchon-anniversary-nonalcoholic-23-1fqdb-900.webp) *Terrace* ## How was it as an anniversary date course?
