The Buoy Bar

When the sun sets, Buoy becomes something new. Buoy Bar is our take on modern Korean dining: small bites, shareable plates, deep flavors, and traditional drinks with a twist. Whether it’s a date, a celebration, or a spontaneous night out, we’ve designed each menu with intention—complete with optional alcohol pairings to complement every bite. Playful, elegant, and full of soul.
