Stay in
스테인 비밀의정원 Seutein Bimirui Jeongwon "Stay in" is a play on "stain" — the menu book closes with "Stain to Stay in", about turning a mark into something to live by — and bimirui jeongwon means "the secret garden".
Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →
A cocktail and whisky bar in a basement on Eonju-ro 98-gil 14, in the back streets between Seolleung and Yeoksam stations. Since June 2026 it has run as "Stay in Secret Garden", with a storybook menu: signature cocktails at 25,000 won, any classic cocktail at 15,000 won, and food from 10,000-won kimchi fried rice up to 25,000-won chicken feet or intestines. It opens around 7 p.m. and runs into the early morning. In April–May 2025 posts it was simply "Stein" and cocktails were priced individually, 12,900 to 18,900 won. We read 30 posts from 22 April 2025 to 19 October 2026; one was about a different restaurant and was set aside, and all 29 others describe actual visits.

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
- A border collie called Nike lives in the bar; 13 posts mention him. A sign on the door asks guests to keep it shut because he is an escape artist, and there is a donation box for his treats near the toilets. One post noted he relieved himself on the floor and raised hygiene; one other said there were two dogs.
- There are curtained private rooms: 17 posts mention a room or separated seating, two give the size as four to eight people and three say there are two rooms. One post noted that the upstairs fountain area is cosier but not a closed room.
- Pretzels come free when you sit down; 10 posts mention them, one saying they were piled high. The True Heart cocktail comes with a jelly.
- Orders go through a tablet at the table; 8 posts mention it, including the 2025 ones. One post spotted an "I spilled it" button among the staff-call options.

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
7 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 11 of 28 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | 19 of 28 posts |
| Toilet inside | 13 of 28 posts |
Half a flight up from the basement bar is a separate table area with a fountain; 11 posts describe it, calling it variously the first floor, second floor, upstairs or half-level. Bar seats are downstairs, tables upstairs. One post found the upper area a little humid; another said it was cool without air-conditioning.
No post mentions steps at the entrance, wheelchair or pushchair access, or a lift — we simply don't know. Nineteen posts describe going down into the basement, and the upstairs tables are another half-flight of stairs up.
The toilets are inside the bar, with a row of perfumes by the mirror outside for guests to use; 13 posts describe them. One said the toilet was clean, another that hair wax and spray were provided. No post says whether they are separated by sex.
No one mentioned: 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.

What we do not know
- No post calls it expensive and 15 say it isn't, but many of those repeat the same promotional phrases about being reasonable for Gangnam. Prices have changed: in April–May 2025 cocktails ran 12,900 to 18,900 won each, while from June 2026 classics are a flat 15,000 won and signatures 25,000 won.
- The promotions have changed. Two April 2025 posts describe a buy-four-get-one cocktail deal and 20% off for a photo review; four 2026 posts describe a free shooter for writing a Naver receipt review.
- Opening hours differ from post to post. In 2025 they were 7 p.m.–2 a.m. (two posts) or 7 p.m.–4 a.m. (one). Most posts from June–September 2026 give 7 p.m.–6 a.m. on weekdays and 7 p.m.–3 a.m. at weekends, though two put the split at Sunday–Thursday versus Friday–Saturday. From October 2026, posts start listing Monday closures and a 6:30 p.m. opening, with closing times of 2:30, 3:00 or 6:00 a.m. All of this is copied from listing blocks, so check before going.
- The phone number, 0507-1441-4277, appears identically in more than 20 posts. Naver booking is only mentioned in copied listing blocks; no post says it booked ahead.
- No post reports queuing. One advised booking because weekend peak hours fill quickly, and an April 2025 post was the first guest at 7 p.m. but found it busy by the time he left. One post mentions a smoking area and waiting seats at the entrance.
- Most posts from June 2026 carry the same English hashtags and the same promotional phrases in the same order. Only three disclose sponsorship and one shows a receipt. We counted them as visits because what they ordered differs, but the tone of the praise should be read with that in mind.
