Bar
Yokatane
요캇타네 Yokatta ne is Japanese for 'that turned out well' — one writer glosses it as 'what a relief'; it is the sister bar of Kataomoi ('unrequited love') a few doors away.
Compiled from 16 blog posts read in fullSources →
Yokatane is an LP bar on the second floor of a building on Wangsimni-ro 4-gil, right by exit 7 of Ttukseom Station. Several posts describe it as the sister bar of Kataomoi, a jazz LP bar on a fourth floor nearby. It centres on whisky and cocktails; you read the Notion menu through a QR code on a postcard handed over when you sit down. Prices quoted in posts: cocktails 15,000-18,000 won, whisky 17,000-18,000 won a glass, Ebisu draft 13,000 won. We read 30 posts from August 2025 to September 2026. Nine were really about Kataomoi and were set aside; 17 describe an actual visit.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.
What sets it apart
- Five posts say the bar takes song requests; three of them say requests are only taken on Tuesdays, and one says requests are limited to set days. A November 2025 post noted that once a record goes on, the whole album plays through, rather than hopping between requests.
- Four posts say a free snack comes with drinks: salted-caramel chocolate, Ritter Sport, Bouchard milk-caramel sea-salt chocolate, and crackers with a draft beer. One November 2025 post was handed warm barley tea along with the menu postcard on sitting down.
- Seating wraps around a central work station. Two posts describe one continuous bar table around a small kitchen-cum-cocktail bar; a third mentions a few more seats further in, so we can't say every seat is at the bar.
- Three posts call it roomy — two in comparison with Kataomoi, one for its large bar table. Two mention a full wall of windows.
4 more
- Two posts found it good for quiet conversation; one (March 2026) found the music a bit loud and suggested sitting near the entrance.
- Two posts say you can order drinks without food; two more came after dinner and skipped food entirely.
- Five posts found the staff kind; one describes the owner recommending whisky by asking you to pick sweet, peaty or smoky and then a strength from mild to strong.
- Ten posts say who they went with: eight with friends or colleagues, two with a partner.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 3 of 16 posts |
|---|
Three posts mention going up to the second floor, but none says whether by stairs or lift, or whether the entrance has a step. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there is none.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 20 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Opening hours changed in spring 2026. Posts from August 2025 and April 2026 list 17:00-02:00 daily; from May 2026 posts say Tuesday and Wednesday open at 18:00, closing at 01:00 in two posts and 02:00 in one, and one May post lists Wednesday as a regular closing day. One August post gives the times reversed. All of these are copied info blocks, not observations.
- Views on price split one to one: one post warned that a few drinks plus a snack adds up fast, another called it reasonable. The only total we have is 116,000 won for several whiskies and tteokbokki.
- No post reports waiting at Yokatane itself. Three came here because Kataomoi was full or had a queue, and one found it nearly full around 9 pm.
- Only one post (August 2026) gives a phone number, 0507-1300-0298; another lists Kataomoi's number and a third says there is none. Nobody mentions reservations; one writer phoned Kataomoi and was pointed to free seats at Yokatane.
- One November 2025 writer says he is an old friend of the owner; he paid his bill but was given a beer on the house.
