Hongdae bar for solo drinkers with house-party seating: Tipsy Couch
Tipsy Couch Yeonnam Branch is a bar for solo drinkers in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul, a 4-minute walk from Hongik University Station Exit 3. The writer arrived worried that a first solo bar visit would feel awkward, but the house-party layout of bar stools, dining tables, sofas and bed-style seats made conversation with strangers easy. Tipsy Couch suits nights when you want to talk with new people rather than drink quietly alone.
