A Book Bar Where You Read, Drink, and Belong

Tucked up a quiet staircase in Hongdae, book.ikda is a book bar and wine bar in one — from a quiet night with a glass of wine and a good book, to a reading circle full of new faces. However you spend the evening, the pace here is yours to set.

Wine & Books

book.ikda is part bookstore, part wine bar. Around 30 wines, plus highballs and beer — about 40 drinks in all, starting from 6,000 KRW a glass. Pair one with a book chosen from our independent-bookstore curation.

Book Clubs

Our "Nadaum" book club runs every other month, alongside readings, classes, and pop-up events. Come alone with a book, or fall into a group for the night — either way works here.

A Good Night Alone

Many guests come solo. It's a quiet space with the volume turned down — good for reading alone, journaling, or just sitting with a glass of wine.

Getting There

A short walk from Hongik University Station, up a narrow staircase to the 2nd floor. Look for the book bar tucked into a quiet Hongdae alley.
