8 of the Hottest Rooftop Bars/Cafes in Seoul

It's officially summer! Which means......PATIO SEASON! What better way to enjoy the summer, than to sip a nice cold beer or cocktail with a great view of the city! Lately, rooftop bars/cafe's are the newest growing trend. They have quickly become plentiful in the city, but are also quite busy. Some are even quite exclusive that they do not accept walk-ins. Nevertheless, these rooftop bars/cafes will always put you into the summer mood, even if it's 40 degrees with humidity out here. 

PP Rooftop lounge

PP is one of those rooftops lounge's that looks like it belongs beside an ocean in the Mediterranean, with the white draping, bamboo trees and lanterns that set the mood. It's also pretty exclusive. The first time I walked in with friends, they said all the tables or booked on the rooftop, luckily we already told him we already made a reservation. So, check out their instagram to make reservations.

Avant Garde is a cute place to hangout with friends. There's no loud music and it's not usually crowed because it's down the street from other popular rooftop bars.
