BAR GU
바 구 Ba Gu Gu is read as the Korean number nine, which is why several posts also write the name as 'Bar 9'.
Compiled from 8 blog posts read in fullSources →
An LP bar and wine bar on the third floor of a red-brick house down an alley off Ttukseom-ro in Seongsu-dong. Posts say it opens at 6 pm and closes Mondays. Vinyl plays while it serves wine, cocktails and plates: beef-rib kimchi buckwheat noodles 22,000 won, bouillabaisse 29,000, aioli potatoes 8,000, signature cocktails 18,000–19,000, wine by the glass 12,000. We read 22 posts from August 2025 to September 2026; 9 are about this bar and 8 describe a visit. The other 13 only shared the name and were set aside.

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
- There is both bar seating and tables. Of the five posts that describe the seating, four mention two-, four- and six-person tables besides the bar, and one group sat at a four-top. One post notes that from the bar you can watch the cocktails being made and the owner spinning records.
- Two posts mention a basket at each table for coats and bags.
- Of the five posts that say who they came with, four came with friends and one on a date. Plenty of titles call it a date spot, but only one writer actually went with a partner.
- Two posts mention a dessert in exchange for a review, but the gift differs: truffle ice cream in a March 2026 post, green-tea tiramisu in an August post.

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.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 6 (of 8 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 1 of 8 posts |
It is upstairs, not in a basement: six of the eight visit posts describe going up to the third floor. One writer assumed a bar would be underground and instead climbed stairs to the top floor; another said it looked so dark from the street at night that they thought it was closed.
No one says whether there is a step at the door, a lift, or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. Six posts mention climbing to the third floor, one of them by stairs. That is an absence of reports, not a confirmed absence.
Only one post describes the toilets: inside the bar, one unisex and one women's. The 'separate men's and women's toilets' line in three other posts is copied from the listing, so we did not count it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 9 posts we gathered, 1 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
- Whether it is quiet is disputed: three posts call it quiet, one says the speakers are loud and suggests an inner table for conversation. Size splits two to one as well — two found it roomy, one said it is not large. One post says weekends get packed.
- Opening hours appear to have changed. Five posts from August 2025 to May 2026 give 6 pm–1 am (2 am Friday and Saturday); two from August and September 2026 give 6 pm–midnight (1 am Saturday, last order 10 pm in one). Most of these are copied info blocks, so check before going. Five posts agree it closes Mondays.
- No post describes the walk from the station or a bus stop; '774 m from Seongsu Station exit 3, down the lane left of Sujeong Mini Supermarket' is copied directions.
- Nobody reports actually waiting. Two posts went right at opening and walked in; one adds that it filled up fast, the other implies popular places have a queue. One post advises booking ahead on weekends.
- Seven posts give the same phone number, 0507-1375-4425, and say bookings are taken by phone or Instagram DM; none of the writers say they booked.
- One post relays a friend's claim that the owner previously ran a restaurant in Yatap before moving to Seongsu. It is hearsay, so we did not count it.
- Three posts (March, May and September 2026) share the same copied info block and the same recommendation phrasing, and one still carries a half-deleted review-count widget. None discloses sponsorship, but we weigh them lightly. A payment-terminal installer's case-study post was not counted as a visit.
