IU ‘Sleepless Rainy Night’
As the name suggests,it is a cafe with an analog charm. Old wooden floors and furniture, pianos and guitars, and turntables are old and more stylish. In a space full of LPs and CDs, you can feel the warmth and coziness you felt in the music video. A variety of menus are available, from drinks to beer and pretty cocktails named after musicians. There is a performance hall in the basement, where performances are often held.
