Hills & Europa is a small Haebangchon cafe-bar on Sinheung-ro, part of the Wild Duck Canteen family. By day it can be a coffee-and-dessert stop; by night it shifts into a low-lit record bar with cocktails, food, and walls lined with objects and LPs.
The bar plays soul, disco-funk, Motown, jazz-adjacent records and older pop, with playlists drawn from Seoul DJ JUNMO’s record collection. It is not a silent audiophile room; it has the feel of a compact neighbourhood bar with records close to the centre of the evening.
Go for a compact, social Seoul listening room with records, drinks and a little Haebangchon looseness around the edges.
