Bar Gyu+ (aka The Fridge Door Bar)
Bar Gyu+, also known as The Fridge, is notoriously hard to find but visitors are rewarded with original drinks and chill jazz music. The drinks range from standard cocktails to housemade recipes and rare Japanese whiskies. The bartenders are friendly and happy to give recommendations. The bar is instantly recognizable from their front door, a repurposed refrigerator door. Luckily, the bar is much warmer than a fridge in both temperature and ambiance.
The hours are from 5pm to midnight every day. Bar Gyu is only open in the winter season, from December 1 to March 31. Despite its hidden location, the bar is immensely popular. The best time to grab a seat is before 7pm.- Bar gyu＋
