SAHM

A Gangnam bar occupying the Rodeo Star Building in the heart of Cheongdam's premium drinking corridor, SAHM operates in a district where interior architecture and spatial control increasingly define the tier a bar occupies. The address places it within walking distance of Seoul's most recognised cocktail programs, making it a logical stop on any serious itinerary through the neighbourhood.
