Four coworkers came for round two after drinks on Songridan-gil and shared the signature cocktail Ma-Doranna, Catharsis, a Balvenie 12-year and a chocolate cake cocktail. Doran Honsul Bar is a quiet pick for introverted groups who find the Bangi-dong food alley too loud. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3rd floor, 10 Ogeum-ro 13-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul (Songpanaru Station, Songridan-gil) - **Ordering**: QR code ordering; water, snacks and tissues at the self-serve bar - **Drinks**: A wide range of cocktails plus about 50 kinds of whisky - **What we ordered**: Signature Ma-Doranna, Catharsis, two glasses of Balvenie 12-year, chocolate cake cocktail, ice cream - **Perk**: One free cocktail for a receipt review - **Changing seats**: Possible, but ask the staff first *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Vertical photo of the entrance to Doran Honsul Bar Jamsil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-01-11zto-966.webp) We visited Doran Honsul Bar with our coworkers as round two on a Friday night. After finishing our first round on Songridan-gil, we wanted a low-key second drink, and this solo bar was what we landed on. Bangi-dong is great, don't get me wrong, but it's so packed and loud and chaotic sometimes you just think, what am I doing here, haha. I'm sure a lot of you know that feeling. And I bet plenty of you also just want to drink quietly by yourself sometimes, or maybe you're hoping to meet someone new — meeting naturally is always the best way, right? Haha. So let me introduce you to Doran Honsul Bar, the Jamsil solo bar where we had honest conversations, laughed a ton, and enjoyed some really good drinks with our team. ![Interior of the Jamsil solo bar visited for round two on a Friday night](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-02-1mfvw-966.webp) ## Why we picked Doran Honsul Bar near Songridan-gil over Bangi-dong It had been a while since we'd had a proper Friday night out, and this solo bar in Jamsil was where we ended up with our team. We wanted somewhere quiet to drink together. The Bangi-dong food alley is packed with people, lots of young energy, which is great, but the four of us are hardcore introverts and that much energy was just too much to handle, haha. We figured we could drink quietly and still have fun here, so we headed to Doran Honsul Bar on Songridan-gil. ![Full view of the black-toned interior at Doran Honsul Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-03-qc64m-966.webp) ![Solo bar seating area with calm lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-04-1lfro-966.webp) ## What is the atmosphere like at Doran Honsul Bar Jamsil? The whole place is done up in black tones to keep things quiet and calm, and it really did feel that way. True to the solo-bar theme, it's designed so solo visitors and all kinds of guests can enjoy a drink alone in a relaxed atmosphere. ![Bar seating and lighting at Doran Honsul Bar Jamsil Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-05-sq4yk-1200.webp) ![Self-serve bar and signage in a corner of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-06-103lf-966.webp) ![Table with QR ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-07-l4rdc-966.webp) ## How to order, use the self-serve bar and change seats You order through a QR code, and water, snacks, and tissues are all available at the self-serve bar. Also — for the sake of any meaningful connections — you can move seats, but you do have to check with staff first! And if you want to make the most of your evening, just say a light hello to whoever's next to you and start chatting. Oh, and one more thing: leave a receipt review and you get a free cocktail! ![Usage instructions and small items on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-08-rw9e8-966.webp) ![Game pieces set out on a solo bar table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-09-1eyb2-966.webp) ## Table games that make it easy to get talking Since we came as a team, we decided we'd just have honest talks with each other tonight — though everyone was secretly a little excited wondering if someone handsome might show up, haha. We even had a code name, 'raccoon,' for if someone good showed up, and the joke was that any married guy would vanish home immediately, haha. While we waited, there were plenty of games to keep us entertained, and true to a solo bar, a lot of them were designed to get you talking about worries or things on your mind. It seems like a great way to naturally get to know someone from any angle. You know that awkward blind-date-bar thing where you go around the table repeating 'what's your hobby, what's your name, what's your job' like a parrot? Playing a game face-to-face like this at the table seemed much better for actually getting to know someone. ![Conversation-style question game cards on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-10-1j7ye-966.webp) ## How Ma-Doranna, Catharsis and the Balvenie 12-year taste Since we were in the mood to savor a little solitude, our team ordered the signature Ma-Doranna, Catharsis, and two glasses of Balvenie 12-year. There's a great range of cocktails, but they also stock around 50 kinds of whiskey, so you can pick whatever suits your mood. ![A glass of the signature cocktail Ma-Doranna](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-11-rerih-966.webp) ![The Catharsis cocktail alongside a whiskey glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-12-c05g6-966.webp) The signature Ma-Doranna especially had this coffee-like note along with a sweet flavor and the taste of the alcohol coming through — oh, it was really good, haha. It's the kind of drink that's so tasty you keep sipping without realizing how much you've had, but it has an irresistible charm, haha. The whiskey came with a proper whiskey glass and an ice ball, cool but not too harsh, and we all told our team lead he looked so cool nursing his whiskey to soothe the day's solitude, haha. ![A glass of Balvenie 12-year whiskey served with an ice ball](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-13-1mr91-m-966.webp) ![A cocktail and two whiskey glasses on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-14-1p9ae-966.webp) Drinking together and finally saying the funny things we'd wanted to say for a while was so much fun. When's my boyfriend going to show up, funny stories from college, work gossip — time just flew by while we chatted. ![Table full of drinks during a chatty night out](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-15-14gon-m-966.webp) ![Card game laid out on the solo bar table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-16-gnzo5-m-966.webp) That's how you enjoy Doran Honsul Bar on Songridan-gil. Oh, and — our card-master team lead asked, will I ever find love?????!!!! And the tarot's answer??????????????? It's up to you, apparently, haha..... ![Playing a tarot card game at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-17-10e98-966.webp) ## Chocolate cake cocktail and ice cream to snack on We lost track of time and ordered the chocolate cake — honestly I thought it would be an actual chocolate cake with alcohol in it, but a cocktail showed up instead and I was like, huh??? But it's a good day, so we drank it anyway, and oh... I immediately understood why it's called the chocolate cake. It had this subtle chocolate and cake aroma with a sweet taste. Paired with lemon as a snack, it was so good. ![Chocolate cake cocktail garnished with lemon](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-18-1arnt-966.webp) ![Self-serve bar snacks as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-19-966zg-966.webp) ![Ice cream ordered as a side snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-20-1cgut-966.webp) ![The final cocktail of the night](https://img.superchart.com/images/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night-21-k4vdj-966.webp) For snacks we had the basic self-serve bar snacks plus a side of ice cream, and honestly the combo of whiskey and ice cream was really good. It's a snack that doesn't fill you up too much but still hits the spot — nice touch from the owner, haha. We said let's have one more drink on such a good day, and everyone one-shotted the cocktail we got, mood instantly up!!! It was such a fun time. We got so into it that nobody actually shouted 'raccoon,' but if you're looking for somewhere in Jamsil to have a simple drink alone, meet new people, or just blow off some stress with a casual drink, I highly recommend this Jamsil solo bar, Doran Honsul Bar~~!! ## Where it is - Doran Honsul Bar Jamsil Branch (도란 혼술바 잠실점) - 3rd floor, 10 Ogeum-ro 13-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 오금로13길 10 3층 - 37.5132359, 127.1088422 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%84%EB%9E%80%20%ED%98%BC%EC%88%A0%EB%B0%94%20%EC%9E%A0%EC%8B%A4%EC%A0%90/@37.5132359,127.1088422,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-menu-fold/doran-honsul-bar-jamsil-team-night/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
