Gangnam lounge bar for a Chardonnay and olives wine date: Mixed Table

Why Mixed Table for a second round after dinner in Sinnonhyeon

Mixed Table (믹스드테이블) is a Gangnam lounge bar that's great for wine or cocktails after dinner in Sinnonhyeon. I was wondering, where should we go for a second round after dinner in Sinnonhyeon? I wanted a nice lounge bar with cocktails or wine, and then I remembered Mixed Table, where I'd been before!

When I visited last August, I went alone, had sparkling wine, and tried kaymak (Turkish clotted cream) for the first time. I was amazed.. The drinks and food were good and the atmosphere was amazing, but the one thing I regretted was drinking alone, not with someone^^,, So this time I went with someone instead of solo. Hehe

Mixed Table location and opening hours

Mixed Table is open Mon–Thu 18:00–01:00 and Fri–Sat 18:00–02:00, and closed every Sunday. It is 412 m from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 3.

It's tucked away at the start of the Nonhyeon eating street near Sinnonhyeon Station, but people in the know find their way here.. There was a day I wanted to come back near Sinnonhyeon, but it happened to be a Sunday, their regular day off.. This time it was a Saturday, so just in case I called ahead and then went straight over!

Mixed Table is a Sinnonhyeon lounge bar in the basement level. Cocktails, highballs, whisky, wine, kaymak, everything! It's all ready. Beer isn't written on the menu, but they sell Heineken and Guinness too.

What's the atmosphere at Mixed Table like?

Mixed Table is the very definition of a Gangnam lounge bar with great atmosphere.. The lighting is slightly dim and cozy, the space is roomy and comfortable, and the stylish liquor-bottle lighting is charming.

The silent film playing on a big screen on the wall by the entrance does a lot for the mood too. The music isn't loud or cheesy, it's refined and stylish, a 200% satisfying lounge bar vibe.

There are so many mirror balls, but they're not tacky, they almost look like an experimental art piece,, and the bottles are displayed so prettily. It's a perfect atmosphere for a Sinnonhyeon wine date, and since I'd had wine by the bottle last time too.. this time there were two of us, so I came all excited to chat happily over wine^_^!

Mixed Table menu and wine prices

Wine at Mixed Table starts from the ₩30,000–40,000 range per bottle, and the snacks include kaymak & ekmek (Turkish bread) or melon, truffle fries, schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), boneless fried chicken & whole potato, a cheese & ham plate and more. We'd had dinner so we ordered only a light snack, but the lineup is pretty solid if you're hungry.

It's also nice for just a glass of whisky or a cocktail, and there's a non-alcoholic menu, so no worries if you don't drink or have to drive! The wine selection is varied too, and with bottles from the ₩30,000–40,000 range, if one or two glasses never feels like enough, ordering a bottle is the real bargain. It's a great bar for a Sinnonhyeon wine date and the prices are kind too, so I love this lounge :)

Belleretta Chardonnay: why the bottle beats the glass

The wine we chose at Mixed Table was Belleretta Chardonnay, ₩12,000 a glass and ₩39,000 a bottle. When we ordered, they brought it chilled in a big ice bucket! With the weather warming up, white wine it is :)

Belleretta Chardonnay

It's a fresh, medium-bodied Italian wine with notes of tropical fruit, flowers, honey and vanilla. Not very sweet, with a slight acidity, a fragrant and refreshing white wine.

You can have it by the glass for ₩12,000, but if two of us have just 2 glasses each, it's already over ₩40,000, right..? With a bottle at ₩39,000, the bottle is honestly far more reasonable than glasses! It's such a kind price, not like a Gangnam lounge bar wine bottle price, that as a wine lover I couldn't not order it.

If you like light, refreshing white wine, Belleretta Chardonnay is perfect! I loved the fresh fruit and floral aromas with the clean finish.

Cheers, with a happy clink! There's no astringent taste lingering on the tongue, so it's an everyday white wine anyone can enjoy without pressure! Give it a try when you visit Mixed Table :)

Complimentary snack and the staff

At Mixed Table, pretzel crackers come as the complimentary snack, and they light a candle on every table. The friendly staff made the time even better. The staff member is a foreign woman, totally kind, and her Korean was so good too*_*

Green olives for a light pairing

Green olives

The green olives at Mixed Table were plump, firm and fresh. They have pits inside, so you just spit them out into the clear little dish they put next to them. A healthy snack that's perfect when you're full or want something light :)

Do photos turn out well on a Sinnonhyeon wine date?

Even a table with just white wine and olives looks like a hotel lounge bar at Mixed Table because the background is so good, so photos come out super pretty. The atmosphere and backdrop are so good it feels like a hotel lounge bar.. and the photos come out gorgeous, so I recommend it as a Sinnonhyeon wine date course ^_^haha

Once I got the light right, wow, this is just... it felt like I'd snapped the shot of a lifetime of the Belleretta Chardonnay. Menu photos turn out well of course.. but going with a boyfriend or a crush and taking great photos of each other would be so nice^_^!

A Sinnonhyeon wine date course where you can enjoy a relaxed drink with good music in a stylish space. If you're looking for a Gangnam lounge bar with great atmosphere, definitely visit Mixed Table! :)
