Experts' Choice Award Yri Cafe
What the experts agree on
Yri Cafe is a pioneering Hongdae institution that skips the trendy aesthetics of newer cafes in favor of authentic neighborhood character, hosting art events and supporting local creatives through performances, exhibitions, and an impressive art book
Time Out "It’s widely known as a sort of godfather to the Hongdae café scene...they host book readings and performances, hang local artists’ work on their walls, and house an impressive collection of art books" Full review
Fodor's "Though Yri Cafe offers little of the minimalist design and photogenic, colorful drinks that hip, new cafes in the area have begun to specialize in, the venue is one of the few places to encapsulate the independent, down-to-earth spirit of the neighborhood" Full review
