스토리

이 장소에 대해

86 Proof Whiskey Bar는 Thảo Điền의 Xuân Thủy 거리 한적한 구간에 자리하고 있다. 바 뒤편으로 펼쳐진 위스키 리스트 못지않게 매일 오후 4시부터 7시까지 이어지는 50% 해피아워를 목적으로 찾아오는 외국인과 현지인 단골들이 끊이지 않는다. 따뜻한 조명과 편안한 좌석은 이 공간을 나이트라이프 베뉴보다는 격조 있는 동네 바에 가깝게 만들어주며, 한 잔이 어느새 세 잔이 되어버리는 그런 곳이다.

이 바의 핵심은 위스키 프로그램이다. 손님들은 직접 플라이트를 구성해 다양한 위스키를 탐색할 수 있으며, 스태프들은 입문자부터 애호가까지 모두를 안내할 만큼 충분한 지식을 갖추고 있다. 칵테일 메뉴는 위스키에 그치지 않는다. yuzu moon은 많은 첫 방문자들이 기준점으로 삼는 메뉴이며, 1.0과 2.0 두 가지 버전으로 제공되는 Newton Law Sour와 Lychee Rose Sour는 위스키를 즐기지 않는 손님에게도 다시 찾을 이유를 선사한다. Earl Grey Nudi 티는 좀 더 가벼운 무언가를 원하는 이들을 위한, 조용히 세련된 선택지다.

푸드 메뉴는 뒤늦게 덧붙여진 것이 아니라 음료와 나란히 이어진다. 매달 한 번 바는 Chef Series를 열어 초청 셰프가 직접 메뉴를 구성하도록 하는데, 대개 칵테일 페어링을 중심으로 짜인 이 이벤트는 Thảo Điền 바 씬에서 가장 개성 있는 정기 행사 중 하나로 자리 잡았다.

바는 대부분의 평일에 새벽 1시까지, 목·금·토요일에는 새벽 2시까지 문을 열어, 동네 다른 곳에서 저녁 식사를 마친 후 자연스럽게 들르게 되는 늦은 밤의 종착지가 된다. 전문 위스키 바치고 가격은 합리적인 편이며, District 1에 비해 상대적으로 조용한 Thảo Điền의 분위기 자체가 하나의 매력이다. 이곳의 공기는 천천히 머물도록 만든다.

My favourite bar in Thao Dien area. I tried lots of drinks at this bar and most of them are truly amazing. They have something for everyone. You can try the yuzu moon (their special one) if it’s your first time. My go-to drink are whisky sour, Newton law sour (or 1.0 coz they have 2.0 too) or any gin. The food is good too. The service is beyond expectation. We always stay at this place till late for the drink and the vibe.

A solid speakeasy for whiskey lovers. Selection is good, though by far not the most extensive in town. Firkin and Dram probably would beat this by 3 times. However, the pricing for a whiskey bar is reasonable. Also, it is in the heart of Thao Dien, which is more quiet than D1. Good solid place for a dram.
