# Hapjeong cocktail bar for sweet-salty bar snack pairings: Rosetta - By Crossroads Lunch Goer (https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/) - Written Nov 11, 2026 - Local places › Bars › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This review was written after Rosetta provided the experience through an in-store visit campaign. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@weekday-spoon/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/index.md) ## In short Rosetta is a 19th-century European-style cocktail bar between Hongdae and Hapjeong in Mapo, Seoul, about a 6-minute walk from Hapjeong Station Exit 3. The writer paired Rosetta's signature Summer Sunshine cocktail (21,000 won) with prosciutto and orange (23,000 won) and burrata peach tomato (19,000 won). The sweet-salty snack and the creamy cheese dish differed in taste and texture, so they worked well ordered together. Rosetta suits anyone looking for a quiet, atmospheric second-round cocktail bar after dinner in Hongdae. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 35 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Getting there**: About a 6-minute walk from Hapjeong Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: Daily, 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. - **Parking**: Use a nearby public car park - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Booking - **Seating**: Bar seats, tables and private rooms - **Summer Sunshine cocktail**: 21,000 won - **Prosciutto and orange**: 23,000 won - **Burrata peach tomato**: 19,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩21,000 ≈ $15.5 · ₩23,000 ≈ $17 · ₩19,000 ≈ $14 (2026-11-11) *as written by the visitor on Nov 11, 2026 · not checked with the business* Today I'm introducing Rosetta, which I found while looking for a nice cocktail bar between Hongdae and Hapjeong! Hongdae has so many bars, but when you want somewhere good for a date that's also quiet and atmospheric, it's surprisingly hard to choose. ![Exterior of Rosetta in Hapjeong, like a French side street](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-01-go2la-900.webp) ## What kind of cocktail bar is Rosetta in Hapjeong? Rosetta is a Hapjeong cocktail bar with 19th-century French, European-style interiors, and signature cocktails inspired by famous paintings! From the outside it feels like a little cocktail bar on a French side street!! I'll walk you through the dishes I tried and the atmosphere inside. - Address: 35 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (1st floor) - About 6 minutes on foot from Hapjeong Station Exit 3 - Hours: daily 18:00 to 05:00 the next day - Parking: use a nearby public car park - Reservations available via Naver ## Rosetta's atmosphere and seating Stepping inside Rosetta, the soft lighting, vintage furniture and stylish paintings together made it feel like walking into a little gallery. ![Rosetta interior with soft lighting and paintings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-02-31xq1-m-900.webp) There are bar seats that are great for drinking solo, tables where a couple can spend time together, and even private rooms!! ![Bar seats, tables and room space at Rosetta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-03-mk4sa-900.webp) ## Rosetta's menu: painting-inspired cocktails, whisky and pairing snacks Rosetta sells not just cocktails but also whisky, highballs, beer and more. Its signature cocktails, inspired by famous paintings and the seasons, are the highlight. ![Rosetta signature cocktail menu inspired by famous paintings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-04-qbdsu-m-900.webp) ![Rosetta signature cocktail menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-05-yn2i1-900.webp) There's a wide range of whisky too, and you can get recommendations to suit your taste, so it's good for whisky lovers as well as cocktail fans. ![Rosetta whisky menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-06-18570-900.webp) ![Rosetta whisky and liquor menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-07-1tvhl-900.webp) There are dishes that pair well with cocktails, like burrata cheese with peach tomatoes, prosciutto and orange, pumpkin cream gnocchi, and a fruit cheese platter!! ![Rosetta cocktail pairing snack menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-08-59iav-900.webp) ![Rosetta snack menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-09-o1ils-900.webp) ![Rosetta food menu page](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-10-17pyk-900.webp) ![Rosetta pairing menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-11-6oz1e-900.webp) ![Part of the Rosetta menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-12-53zg7-m-900.webp) ## What does Rosetta's Summer Sunshine cocktail (21,000 won) taste like? The cocktail I ordered this time was the Summer Sunshine for ₩21,000! It's one of Rosetta's signature cocktails, and the menu also lists it under the name "Yeoreum Haetbit" (summer sunlight). ![Rosetta signature cocktail Summer Sunshine](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-13-1r9op-900.webp) Summer Sunshine combines unusual ingredients: yuzu (Korean citron), Korean pear, lemongrass, kefir yogurt, soda and seasoned seaweed! It isn't just a sweet fruit cocktail. The odd combination gives it Rosetta's own personality. ![Summer Sunshine cocktail made with yuzu and pear](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-14-1itk4-900.webp) ![A glass of Summer Sunshine cocktail on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-15-9giq0-900.webp) ## Prosciutto and orange (23,000 won): a sweet-salty bar snack Rosetta's prosciutto and orange costs ₩23,000: Italian-style cured ham served with orange. The salty, savory depth of the prosciutto with fresh, sweet orange made it a great match for cocktails. ![Rosetta prosciutto and orange snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-16-94xua-1200.webp) The salty prosciutto meets the juicy orange, so you get that sweet-and-salty combo. The fruit's freshness makes it lighter than an ordinary ham platter. Thumbs up! Salty prosciutto + fresh orange + nutty cheese and pecans: sweet-salty but refreshing. It's plated in pretty bite-sized pieces, so it's easy to pick up one at a time while sipping your cocktail. ![Bite-sized prosciutto and orange plating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-17-1vxbm-900.webp) The pecan in the middle was the highlight. The nuttiness added even more flavors and textures, haha. ![Prosciutto and orange topped with pecans](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-18-bs5ik-900.webp) ![Prosciutto and orange with cheese and pecans](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-19-2cc7w-900.webp) ## How do you eat Rosetta's burrata peach tomato (19,000 won)? Rosetta's burrata peach tomato is ₩19,000: soft, creamy burrata served with tomatoes pickled in peach brine!! A whole burrata sits on top, with red peach tomatoes and herbs plated underneath. ![Rosetta burrata peach tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-20-n2l8d-900.webp) Olive oil and pepper are drizzled over the burrata, so it looks delicious right away. We were told to cut the burrata in half before eating. Burrata is fun to eat because the outside and inside have different textures: the outside is chewy yet soft, and the inside is moist and rich like fresh cream, you know? ![Burrata cheese cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-21-1b2ui-900.webp) Add the peach-pickled tomato and the rich cheese gets a fresh, sweet-sour note, making it much lighter to eat. ![Burrata cheese with pickled peach tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-22-wy45m-900.webp) Soft, nutty cheese with fresh tomato is a combo that works well as a cocktail snack too. Thumbs up! ![Burrata peach tomato served with a cocktail](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-23-mc23w-900.webp) ![Rosetta cocktail and two plates of snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing-24-1rm0x-900.webp) ## Who is Rosetta in Hapjeong best for? The prosciutto and orange and the burrata peach tomato differ in taste and texture, so they make a good pair to order together, haha. Rosetta has varied seating, from bar seats to private rooms, so I think it suits dates, blind dates, birthday parties and anniversary get-togethers. Personally, I'd recommend it to anyone who finishes dinner in Hongdae and wants a stylish second round. If you're looking for a nice bar near Hapjeong Station or a Hongdae cocktail bar for a date, I recommend Rosetta! ## Where it is - Rosetta (로제타) - 35 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 어울마당로5길 35 1층 - 37.5495724, 126.9186396 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%9C%ED%83%80/@37.5495724,126.9186396,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/hapjeong-rosetta-summer-sunshine-pairing/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
