ABRAZO812

아브라소812 Abeuraso 812 Abrazo is Spanish for 'hug' — several posts say the owner meant a warm embrace — and 812 is the lot number, 812 Yeoksam-dong.

Compiled from 29 blog posts read in fullSources →

Abrazo 812 is a wine bar in the basement of 29 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, between Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam stations. The owner asks what you like and picks a bottle; the dish ordered most (18 posts) is the two-tier Abrazo platter, caprese on top and chop steak below, priced 41,900 won in posts from February 2026. Bottles people actually paid for ran from 48,000 to 65,000 won, and a dish of hardtack biscuits arrives free. We read 30 posts from December 2024 to October 2026; 29 describe a visit, and the remaining one is a list of 25 Gangnam bars that we did not count.

Rows without a count: 19 of 21 posts.

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

  1. Fifteen posts call the owner kind. The scene they keep describing is the glass being topped up before it runs dry — one writer says he appeared 'like magic' just as the glass emptied. Three posts say the glassware was swapped when they changed wines, and several mention a short explanation and a first pour at the table.
  2. Fourteen posts say it is quiet enough to talk. They credit the spacing between tables and the basement location — one could not hear the next table, another said being underground shut out the street noise. Four posts say the room itself is large.
  3. Fourteen posts walked from the subway: about five minutes from Sinnonhyeon exit 6, seven or eight from Gangnam exit 11, through the alleys behind the Gangnam CGV.
  4. Eight posts mention free hardtack biscuits as the house snack; one asked for a refill.
5 more
  1. Eight posts say bottles bought to take away cost less than on the list — one puts it at 20–30% cheaper, and another bought an anniversary bottle here.
  2. Nineteen posts say prices are reasonable. The recurring line that it is 5,000–10,000 won cheaper than nearby wine bars reads like the bar's own pitch, copied. What writers report themselves: bottles start in the 30,000s (38,000 in one post, a 39,000 flat-price tier in another) and most dishes are 10,000–20,000-something won.
  3. Nine posts are return visits. Four come from one blogger who has been going with her husband since they were dating (October 2025 to July 2026), and two from another blogger who goes with friends. One more is a self-described ten-year regular who came with his wife and son.
  4. Nine posts came as a couple, nine with friends, two with family (one bringing a son), and one alone — that solo writer found the two-tier platter a bit much for one.
  5. Seven posts found portions generous, mostly about the royal board and the two-tier platter, which one says came filled to the edge.

Parking

Posts saying you cannot1 of 29 posts

Several posts copy the listing's 'no parking, use nearby paid lots'; only one speaks from experience, saying you would need a public lot but they walked since they were drinking. One post copies nearby lot rates of 5,000–6,000 won an hour.

Where it is

Map showing where ABRAZO812 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

Fourteen posts walked from the subway: about five minutes from Sinnonhyeon exit 6, seven or eight from Gangnam exit 11, through the alleys behind the Gangnam CGV.

Getting inside

In a basement20 of 29 posts
Toilet insideyes 0 · no 1 (of 29 posts read)

Twenty posts describe going down to the basement. Several mention the stairwell wall covered in corks from wine drunk here. Two say to look for the building with a GS25 convenience store.

The way in is a staircase down to the basement. Nobody mentioned a lift, step-free access, or whether a wheelchair or stroller could get in — that is unknown, not confirmed absent.

Only one post mentions the toilet: it is the building's shared restroom, not inside the bar, and it was clean. Whether it is split by gender or on which floor, nobody said.

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 30 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

  • Much of what is written about this bar follows one template: 13 years in business, about 170 (or 150-plus) wines, private hire for 20–40, 5,000–10,000 won cheaper than nearby bars, good for blind dates and anniversaries — in nearly the same order, with six posts ending on the same three hashtags. Two posts disclose sponsorship, two say they were hosted, four say they paid, and 22 say nothing. We treated those phrases as the bar's own pitch and did not count them.
  • Waiting barely comes up. One post arrived early and sat straight down; two (same blogger) booked through Naver. One post warns there may be a wait on Friday and weekend nights, but no one reports actually waiting.
  • All opening hours are copied from the listing. Twenty-one posts give them and 17 agree: Mon–Fri 18:30–01:00, Sat 18:00–01:00, Sun 18:00–23:00. Four differ (18:00 opening Mon–Sat, 18:30 on Saturday, 01:00 close on Sunday, 23:00 close on both weekend days). Last orders are mostly given as 23:30 Mon–Sat and 21:30 on Sunday. Only one post says there is no closing day.
  • Prices have risen: the two-tier platter was 39,900 won in December 2024, 40,900 in October 2025 and 41,900 from February 2026. No post totals a bill; the closest is a couple who had the platter (41,900) and a 59,000-won bottle.
  • Two posts say the menu shifts with the seasons. A roast butter-garlic chicken appears as new in January 2026, and a 12-hour sous-vide pork steak in June 2026 — when, one post notes, it was not yet on the printed menu.
  • Fifteen posts give the phone number as 0507-1401-0836; one gives 0507-1363-0140 and the list post 070-8810-0812. Several say Naver booking works, and two actually booked. Private hire for 20–40 is the bar's own claim; no post describes using it.
