"The experience at Rakgojae is closer to 'enjoying culture' rather than 'drinking alcohol.' Leaning a glass against the sound of Gayageum in front of a neatly prepared Jooansang, you can escape from the busy modern society for a while and realize the true 'joy of enjoying the old.' If you want to leave the most elegant memory during your trip to Seoul, be sure to remember Rakgojae in Bukchon."
