This minimalist, golden-hued bar champions sustainability, earning accolades like “The Best Bar in Korea”. ZEST Seoul, voted 18th best bar globally, ditches traditional labels for a sleek, no-excess aesthetic. Dohyung “Demie” Kim, winner of the Altos Bartenders’ Bartender Award 2024, leads this eco-conscious haven. Alongside co-founders Sean Woo, Jisu Park, and Noah Kwon, Kim prioritizes minimal waste.

Guests can witness this dedication firsthand in the open prep lab. ZEST Seoul invites you to drink responsibly, harmonizing environment, community, and people.
