MATCHES
매치스성수 Maechiseu Seongsu Matches as in matchsticks — the bar carries the match motif onto its menus and glasses, and its signature onion soup comes to the table over a small lit fire.
Compiled from 21 blog posts read in fullSources →
Matches Seongsu is a wine bar on the 7th floor of a building at Ttukseom-ro 13-gil 36 in Seongsu-dong. You tick dishes on a paper menu, take it to the counter, taste about three wines and pick a bottle. The dishes mentioned most are the campfire onion soup served over a small lit log (15,800 won, ten posts) and clams with shishito peppers (22,000 won, six posts). We read 30 posts from December 2025 to September 2026; 21 describe an actual visit, and 5 were set aside because they were about a different 'Matches' in Yongsan or other shops in the same building.

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.
What sets it apart
- Most visitors booked ahead: 13 of the 21 visit posts say they reserved, through CatchTable or Naver. One paid a 20,000-won-per-person deposit on Naver that was refunded after the visit, and one got free croquettes with a coupon for 4 p.m. CatchTable bookings. One group walked in without a booking.
- In the evening you order by the bottle — four posts say so, one noting glass pours are not available at dinner. Bottles chosen after tasting ran from about 60,000 to 85,000 won, and one writer says there is no wine list; prices are given at the tasting. Only one post, a collection of older photos, mentions an 18,000-won glass.
- It is a seventh-floor room with floor-to-ceiling glass. Five posts mention the windows, the sunset or the city view; one says the corner seats have glass on two sides. Six posts note from their visit that it is on the 7th floor, and four mention taking the lift up. One post saw a terrace and another a rooftop table.
- Seven posts call the staff or owner friendly — explaining each dish, lighting lamps as it gets dark, pouring the first glass. One writer said the owner smelled of cigarette smoke during the tasting, making it hard to judge the wine's aroma.

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 21 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 4 of 21 posts |
No one mentions a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller; we only know the bar is reached by lift. A 'no kids' note appears once, copied from a listing.
Three posts say the restroom is clean, one noting liners, perfume spray and hand towels. Nobody says whether it is inside the bar or separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second 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 25 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
- Opinions on price split: three posts call it expensive, three say it is reasonable, and one scores value 1 out of 2. Dishes mostly run 15,800–36,000 won and a bottle is required in the evening, so the bill depends on how many come and which bottle you pick.
- Portions split two to two: two posts found them generous, two found them small — one suggested coming as a second stop, another said two mains were plenty for two women.
- No post reports a wait. Two found it nearly empty when they arrived early (one on a Saturday, one at 5 p.m. on a weekday). Nobody wrote about later evening hours, so we don't know.
- The '5–8 minutes from Seongsu Station exit 3' line is copied from listings; no one describes the actual walk from a station or bus stop.
- Company: seven posts went with friends, four with a partner, one with a sibling, and one with a year-end group.
- Ten posts agree it opens at 4 p.m. and closes on Mondays. Sunday closing is given as 11 p.m. (six posts) or midnight (four, all from February 2026), and one June 2026 post lists both Monday and Tuesday as closed days. Much of this is copied from listings, so check before going.
- Three posts give the phone number as 02-6956-8662. Bookings in the posts were made through CatchTable or Naver; none mention phoning.
- Nearly every post repeats that the bar appeared on Sung Si-kyung's YouTube show and the dating show 'EXchange 4'; we treat that as hearsay. One news-roundup post could not be read and is not counted.
