First Impressions & Entrance
Gangnam Signature Cocktail Bar Ferry Tail has a small hidden entrance in Nonhyeon, Gangnam. The teal exterior and warm lighting give the bar a low-key and cozy first impression, especially at night. The signage is subtle enough that you could easily miss it if you’re not looking for it, which adds to the “hidden bar” charm before stepping inside.
Interior & Bar Counter Atmosphere
Gangnam Signature Cocktail Bar Ferry Tail features a compact bar counter with shelves of spirits and liqueurs displayed under warm lighting.
The interior uses dark teal tones and polished marble surfaces, creating a cozy drinking environment without being loud or crowded.
Most seating is at the counter, which makes it comfortable for solo guests or pairs who prefer quiet conversation.
🥥 Sweet Night — Chestnut & Coconut (Seasonal)
Sweet Night is a creamy winter cocktail made with rum, chestnut liqueur, cacao, pumpkin, coconut milk, and cream. It leans nutty and slightly sweet, with a soft coconut finish. A house-made coconut chip is placed on top, enhancing the roasted aroma. Despite its dessert-like appearance, it has the highest alcohol strength among the three cocktails. The drink is priced at 22,000 KRW (≈ $17 USD), which is reasonable for a seasonal signature cocktail in Gangnam.
🌿 Mugwort Cocktail
Gangnam Signature Cocktail Bar Ferry Tail also serves a mugwort cocktail called Ssuk-sok-eseo, made with rum, mugwort powder, cacao, milk, honey, and a mugwort creme. The flavor profile is similar to a matcha latte with a distinctly herbal Korean twist, making it surprisingly smooth for those who don’t drink often. The drink comes at 20,000 KRW (≈ $15 USD) and is one of the most approachable options for light drinkers or non-drinkers.
🍊 Earl Grey White Mousse — Citrus & Tea Aromatic
Gangnam Signature Cocktail Bar Ferry Tail also offers an Earl Grey cocktail called Earl Grey White Mousse, made with Earl Grey–infused gin, Earl Grey tea, lime juice, rich syrup, and egg white. The flavor is citrusy and lightly creamy with an aromatic tea finish, making it the most refreshing and lightest option among the three. Because of its low alcohol strength and palate-cleansing profile, it works well as the first drink if you’re trying more than one cocktail. It is served in decorative teacup-style glassware and priced at 20,000 KRW (≈ $15 USD).
🧀 Maple Camembert Cheese Platter — Banana Brûlée Pairing
Gangnam Signature Cocktail Bar Ferry Tail also serves a maple camembert cheese platter that pairs well with their signature cocktails. It includes baked camembert topped with cranberries, banana brûlée, and crackers on the side. The combination leans creamy, sweet, and slightly savory, making it easy to snack on between drinks. The platter is priced at 18,000 KRW (≈ $14 USD) and works well as a shared dish or for solo guests who prefer something light.
If you’re not into drinking or want something sweet afterward, Gangnam Station is just one subway stop away from Sinnonhyeon.
