Come early, savor slowly, and finish with a silky risotto that holds onto the broth’s aroma like a secret.

Podori Seongsu cozy wine bar interior with natural wines

2. Podori_bar Seongsu

Hours 17:00–23:00 Address 1F, 18 Seongsu-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul Value Thoughtful natural wines · seasonal plates · dog-welcoming

A warm, wood-toned nook near Ttukdo Market where the glow of glasses and the herb-laced aroma of small plates invite lingering. This is a local favorite for easy dates and solo sips, and dogs are welcome with care—two at a time—so you can wind down after a Seoul Forest stroll without parting ways. The owner tastes rigorously, so wines feel personal rather than pretentious.

  • Order this!: Ask for a glass that matches your style—citrusy and crisp or wild and skin-contact—then share a couple of seasonal dishes from the board.
TIPS
Mandatory alcohol order per guest; on weekends, a 2-hour limit may apply. Dogs are welcome (max two at once)—please call or DM in advance.
