Gangnam lounge bar for highballs and kaymak ekmek: Mixed Table

A quiet place for a highball in Sinnonhyeon

Mixed Table

I recently had plans in Sinnonhyeon, and after dinner I wanted a quiet highball. While searching around Sinnonhyeon Station, I came across the spot I’m introducing today.

I’ve been to quite a few bars in Sinnonhyeon, but this newly discovered place felt different from the atmosphere alone. It’s called Mixed Table, and tucked further into Nonhyeon it was a lovely place to spend some quiet time.

How to get to Mixed Table from Sinnonhyeon Station

This Sinnonhyeon bar is about a 400 m walk from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station. It is in the building with Ultramen, deep inside Nonhyeon-dong’s dining alley, so it wasn’t too difficult to find. An unclear location can leave you wandering around, but I found it quickly just by following the directions.

If you’re arriving by subway, come out of the exit and walk straight toward the dining alley. There are several alleys, so if it’s your first visit, it may be helpful to keep a map open. Even late at night, there were plenty of people in the alley, which also made the walk feel less intimidating.

Mixed Table opening hours

Let me also go over the hours you’ll probably be most curious about. On Monday, Mixed Table is open from 18:00 until 01:00 the next day, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday have the same 18:00–01:00 schedule. On Friday and Saturday, it stays open a little later, from 18:00 until 02:00 the next day. Sunday is its regular day off, so do keep that in mind before visiting.

There are lots of delicious highball options, and this place does kaymak really well. It’s delicious.

It is open until 1 a.m. on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends, so it was great for taking things easy late into the night. There aren’t many Sinnonhyeon bars open this late, which made me even happier with it. It felt easy to drop in even when dinner plans ran late, so I’m keeping it in mind for my next get-together too.

Highballs and kaymak ekmek under soft lighting

When I stepped inside, the lighting was soft and the tables were generously spaced, making it easy to settle in and talk. There was a varied selection of highballs to choose from according to your taste, and the snack menu was put together to pair nicely with drinks. The highball I ordered here had a clean aroma and went down smoothly, so I kept reaching for it. Kaymak ekmek? It’s bread-like, but seriously delicious.

My friend who came with me also loved the atmosphere and said we should come back next time. In addition to the signature highballs, there are menus that change with the seasons, so I found myself wanting to try something else on my next visit.

An atmosphere suited to dates and small gatherings

Mixed Table is close to Sinnonhyeon Station, so it was convenient to reach by subway. Inside, it is decorated in dark, cozy tones, creating an atmosphere well suited to a date or a small gathering.

Each table had soft lighting, so photos came out with a lovely mood too. The staff kindly explained the menu, so I think even first-time visitors could order comfortably. It felt like a space that works equally well for a quiet drink alone or for getting together with several people to chat.

I’d like to recommend Mixed Table to anyone looking for a good spot in Nonhyeon. I was satisfied overall with the location, hours, atmosphere, highballs, and snacks, and it made me want to visit again. Being close to Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station made it accessible, and its late hours made for an easy visit. If you’d like a highball around Sinnonhyeon, do remember the place I introduced today and give it a visit!
