"Yes, I am a mixed race." The consolation of the strong ‘한잔’ for yourself
Korea, Seoul
"After a hard day, the only thing that comforts me when I come back to an empty house is a glass of beer. So I drink alone today."
It is an ambassador of tvN <Solo Drinking Man and Woman> which recently ended. In a busy and fast competitive era, what we need is perhaps a one-time break and comfort. Here's a `` Sleep To Drink '' trip to a modern day.
Beyond honbab, it is the age of honsul According to the 2015 National Statistical Office data, the proportion of single households in Korea's total population is 27.1%. Three out of ten households are single households. This is an increase of about 7% compared to 2000, when 20% of the population was a single household. It's hard to get a good job because of employment shortages, job insecurity, and marriage and childbirth. This is why voluntary, selective non-marriage is bound to increase. With the increase in the number of single-person households, the era of playing alone and eating began in earnest.
Why did we drink alone?
Nevertheless, drinking alcohol alone requires considerable courage. When I open the door and enter the shop, the eyes of those who sit together and lean over the glass seem to be on me. A loud employee's "Are you alone?" If you add a kill, most of the K.O. Most eager drinks are given up at this moment.
Of course, if you have a thick face specially processed so that samgyeopsal or giblets go alone. You can go anywhere to eat and drink WINNER. But for the most part it is difficult. Wouldn't it be better if we could enter alone and have a drink alone? At least 'three or more politely refused' if the shop will be able to visit more and more souls.
A bar-shaped restaurant that you can eat alone
I looked for places where I could have a light drink on my way home from work. Already added the hangout of famous places and lovers among the Honsul. Eating and drinking alone is cooler than you think. You don't even have to keep time with someone, so you don't have to keep talking. I only drink and time together. Sit in the bar and share the worries of life with the jokes and jokes of people who live in uninhabited land. We who are free because we are free but lonely are comforted by such perfect others.
If you are a house that promotes spirits, you can relax.
Enjoy a drink alone in the daytime
First, let's go to the liquor restaurant that means `` you drink a glass of alcohol alone ''. This German house is located in an alley deep inside the university. At first glance, the idea is whether it is a German house or a German house.
If you come out of Hyehwa Station Exit 3 or 4, enter Café Bene Alley and enter the alley of Apgujeong Beer. The quiet Hanok building welcomes you with its strong coffee flavor. Opened the menu while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the shop. A variety of alcoholic drinks await you as a shop that recommends a drink alone. You can choose from dark draft beer such as `` Heretic Evil Twin Red Ale '', `` Old Rasputin '', `` Schneider Mine Hovenweise Tap '' and `` Sculppin IPA '' to cocktails using gin and tonic.
`` German house '' means "one drink of alcohol alone"
Above all, it is the point of <the German house> that you can drink alone in the daytime. Sit in a quiet Hanok in bright daylight and drink a glass of deep draft beer that will heal itself. It is a gift to oneself who is too busy and tired.

Big and strong meal, ‘rice and drink’
Next is Kim's Late Night Restaurant in Sangsu-dong. The motif is a popular Japanese man-made restaurant, Midnight Dining.

The original late night restaurant is open from 12 pm to 7 am in the back streets of Tokyo's busy streets, while the Kim's Late Night Restaurant in Sangsu-dong is open from 6 pm to 4 am.
The interior resembles the background of the original cartoon Midnight Restaurant.
You can enjoy a meal and drink alone in a restaurant that looks like the scene you saw in the cartoon.
Sake modeled after the master of the original manga, Midnight Dining.
In the comics, the episodes and menus of the guests are bundled together, and most of them are 'basic menus' that people who have seen them wanted to eat at least once. If you add a drink to rice menu items such as `` Charcoal Teriyaki Rice Bowl '', `` Cat Mamma '' and `` Abura Soba '', you can fill the hungry stomach and heart.

Of course, alcohol is also varied. We have a wide variety of drinks including draft beer, bottled beer, sake and shochu. <Late Night Restaurant> For those who like cartoons, it's a mixed drink + unusual trip.

Even if you are not alone, you can go with your friends. This is because they have plenty of rice, snacks, and various alcoholic beverages. You should go when you have the power to eat something by yourself. However, remember that you will not accept more than 3 people due to seat problems.

Lastly, Yeonnam-dong finds a day when he has to drink alone. The door from the house is very small. Sit down at the small bar and have a drink. Regulars enter the side of the host, and the hands meet.
Yeonnam-dong Honsul Ba
There is no appetite when the head is complicated by all kinds of worries. But when I feel like I'm left alone in this wide world, when I want to go somewhere, but I can't go anywhere, I choose to breathe for a while.
Unique decorations from the door
It is a time where people who are separated like islands gather to empty their wine glasses and listen to the stories of people who live on their own. I realize that I have a drink. Eventually I can only comfort me. Thus we are comforted, comforted, and find a cup.
The owner says that if you get drunk, you get ripped off.
