Bar

Diseutil

디스틸 The name is the English word 'distill' — to refine a spirit by distillation; the bar's Instagram spells it bar_dstill.

Compiled from 20 blog posts read in fullSources →

A cocktail and whisky bar on a side street between Sangsu Station and the Hongdae club strip. The sign is small enough that one visitor walked past it; inside are two bar counters and a large communal table. Seasonal creative cocktails cost 24,000 won (two 2025 posts) and most other cocktails about 20,000. Order a drink and house cream cheese with crackers arrives. We read 22 posts from October 2024 to September 2026, all of them first-hand visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What sets it apart

  1. The house snack dominates the posts: fifteen mention the cream cheese and crackers, and seven say it is free, one noting they asked and were told there is no cover charge. One post (January 2025) thought a charge applies if you have only one drink, and a March 2026 post says an extra plate costs 2,000 won.
  2. Nine posts say the bartenders were friendly. Posts describe being recommended off-menu drinks to match their taste and hearing how each cocktail was developed; one visitor with a Taiwanese friend notes a bartender greeted them in Taiwanese phrases.
  3. Eight posts went with friends and three with a partner; many came here as a second stop after dinner. Three posts say it was quiet enough to talk.

Getting inside

Separate restroomsyes 0 · no 1 (of 20 posts read)

No post describes the floor or any stairs from experience; the '1st floor' in the address is a copied listing.

Nobody mentions a step at the door or wheelchair or stroller access. That means unknown, not absent.

That the toilet is inside appears only in one copied listing. One post says it is a single-occupancy room and tidy, another that it is clean.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

  • Opening hours changed: posts from December 2024 and January 2025 list 18:00 to 02:00, while three posts from May 2025 on list 19:00 to 02:00. Three posts give the first Sunday of each month as the day off, and one gives a 01:00 last order; these are copied listings.
  • Views on price split three to one: three posts call it on the expensive side, one (drinking whisky) calls it reasonable. No post gives whisky or food prices.
  • Only one post (October 2024) says they waited — briefly, though it saw others turned away. Two posts found it fairly full on a weekday, and a February 2025 visitor phoned ahead and was told exactly two seats were left. Nobody says whether reservations are taken.
  • Two posts call the room small; one counts about ten bar seats across both counters plus a table for around eight, and one found the bar chairs uncomfortable.
  • Three posts say it is four or five minutes from Sangsu Station exit 1, but all copy directions rather than describe the walk.
  • Three posts copy the phone number 02-337-7560. One visitor called to ask about seats, but whether reservations are accepted is unknown.
