A cocktail & whiskey bar where paintings and alcohol become works of art
Gallery Pigment
Let me introduce you to Gallery Pigment, a secretly hidden space on Namchon-gil near Hoehyeon Station.
This is a 'speakeasy bar', which means a secret bar without a sign. When you first open the door and enter, a small gallery space appears. However, if you solve the puzzle using the hint of the small QR code on the white wall and enter the hidden door, a secret space with a luxurious atmosphere unfolds. Gallery Pigment is an artistic space where paintings and alcohol become works of art. You can enjoy whiskey on the first floor and cocktails on the second floor. It is a popular date course because of its unique concept and artistic atmosphere.
Changing seasons, colorful atmosphere
Gallery Pigment changes its seasons every 3-4 months, and it emphasizes the new season by changing the works in the gallery, objects placed throughout, and the spatial arrangement to match the changing season. That means that the atmosphere is not the same every time, and even if you have visited before, you will be greeted by new spaces and works the next time you visit.
Experience the colorful charm of Pigment with a new concept signature cocktail every season.
Start with a welcome session
This ticket includes a cover charge, allowing you to enjoy Gallery Pigment's special and unique services, including a welcome session and welcome food or drink.
When you enter Gallery Pigment and take your seat, you will first be provided with a warm towel and water, and a few drops of aroma oil will be placed on the back of your hand. The subtle scent of this aroma oil will accompany you throughout your time at Pigment and will remain vivid in your memories.
The basic plate provided to enjoy with alcohol consists of menus that go well with whiskey and cocktails, such as cheese pretzels, salted chocolate, and coconut chunks, and the menu of this basic plating may change at any time.
Signature Cocktail "Season 7"
At Gallery Pigment, we present our own unique signature cocktails inspired by art each season. Introducing the signature cocktails that you can experience now in Season 7.
Yoon Hyung-geun (a cocktail made by smoking hazelnut wood with a rich flavor using black sesame, a black ingredient)
Inspired by his works, which are so heavy and contain deep thoughts that he is called a 'silent painter', I expressed the black resonance mainly in black and dark brown, and expressed the spreading feeling in the work as smoke through the smoking of smoked hazelnut wood.
Lee Woo-Hwan (a cocktail that reconstructs the Milkis beverage using molecular gastronomy and serves it in the form of ketchup, and reinterprets Dubai chocolate as a liquid using pigment)
It is a cocktail like the artist's work that reconstructs simple forms to convey abstract images and reconstructs them into new forms. The fact that he has created various materials into new forms is the most distinctive characteristic of artist Lee Ufan.
Kim Hwan-ki (served in a warm cocktail form with a strong red and refreshing blue feel, served with sugar cookies)
I was inspired by the works of artist Kim Hwan-ki, who was inspired by his difficult life in a foreign land and his complex emotions such as longing for his homeland. The complex use of Western and Korean ingredients creates a spicy yet sweet, sweet yet spicy, complex and subtle flavor that seems like an unlikely combination but actually works together.
