Villa Records

Seoul, South Korea

Beneath the Seoul flagship of South Korean furniture and lifestyle brand Villa Records lies one of the city's most original drinking destinations. Descend the steep stairs to a room that evokes the retro-futuristic optimism of the 1960s and 1970s, wrapped in chrome and embellished with considered, vintage finishes. The cocktails apply molecular techniques to classic templates with creative flair, while the spirits collection, boasts rare cask bottlings. The bar food – sausage and cheese platters, steak and more – provides welcome sustenance. The furniture showroom, bookable in advance, is also worth the detour before or after: shopping and drinking, it turns out, sit together rather well.
