A gathering of Spain enthusiasts convened at the Tapshop Bar in Seoul’s Hapjeong district on the evening of February 11, 2026, celebrating Spanish culture through wine, cuisine, and music, according to reports.
The Hapjeong branch of Tapshop Bar, located at 81 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, has quickly become a popular destination for those seeking a diverse wine selection and a vibrant atmosphere. The bar offers wines ranging in price, from affordable options to more expensive vintages and whiskies, with prices clearly marked for each bottle, according to a recent blog post.
Tapshop Bar currently operates multiple locations, including a previously established branch in Cheonggyecheon, and a recently opened location in Hapjeong. Reservations are highly recommended, particularly for the Hapjeong location, and can be made through Catchtable or Naver. The bar is open from 11:00 AM to midnight daily.
Customers are guided to first secure a table, then acquire either a glass of wine – requiring registration and pre-funding of a Tapshop Bar app account – or purchase a bottle directly from the counter. The bar’s interior is described as casual yet atmospheric, with a “hip” musical selection, and a substantial display of wines upon entry.
Dining options at Tapshop Bar include a menu of 30 paired dishes, with the lasagna and steak receiving particular praise from diners. Although the food is considered affordable and palatable, service can be slower due to the owner handling all culinary preparations independently. The bar as well offers free parking for one hour.
