Le Chamber

Seoul

Step into Le Chamber’s library, push the magical book, and a hidden door slides open to reveal a handsome illuminated bar with sunken lounge chairs beneath glowing chandeliers. Live piano music provides a mellow soundtrack, while patrons suck down Whisky Sours and libations inspired by flavours from around the world – each with its own narrative. Morning at the Garden is a herbaceous blend of gin, green herbal liqueur, egg white and secret home-made sauce, while the signature Chamber Story, which blends spiced rum with tropical fruits, hazelnut and bitters, is served, suitably enough, inside a book. Owner-bartender Louis Eom now has a mini-empire of cocktail establishments across Seoul, but this original, open since 2014, remains unsurpassed.
