What is Digging Club LP Bar in Jamsil? (2026 Guide)
Digging Club, a recently opened LP bar in Seoul's Bangi-dong (Jamsil area), provides a refreshing music experience. Unlike traditional vinyl bars focusing on retro vibes, Digging Club leans towards playing the latest music hits, complemented by a modern and clean interior design. Upon entering the building and taking the elevator to the second floor, you're greeted by a display of vinyl records. During our visit, the collection was roughly split between 70s/80s classics and contemporary tracks, with plans to expand the LP library further. A unique feature is the QR code-based menu and the ability to request songs by placing a record on the turntable at the art wall. If your desired track isn't available on the art wall, you can also request it via a provided Melon playlist.
How to Request Songs and What's on the Drink Menu at Digging Club?
At Digging Club, you can request songs by placing a vinyl record of your choice onto the turntable located at the art wall. If the specific record you're looking for isn't displayed there, you can submit your request through the provided Melon playlist link. We appreciated being able to request multiple songs during our visit, as it wasn't overly crowded. The drink menu features standard whiskey selections like Johnnie Walker Black, highballs, and Maker's Mark, primarily focusing on whiskey and highball options. While the variety of spirits wasn't extensive, the basic bar snacks served with our drinks were satisfying. Participating in a receipt review event offers a complimentary glass of whiskey, adding to the bar's appeal.
What's the Interior Ambiance and Seating Like at Digging Club?
The interior of Digging Club exudes a generally modern and sophisticated atmosphere. The seating is divided between a bar area and window-side two-person tables, offering ample space. For those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the LP bar experience, the bar seats are highly recommended. Here, you can admire the displayed LPs and various whiskey bottles while enjoying the music. The window seats seemed to be more popular with couples. Visiting during off-peak hours allows for a more relaxed experience, where you can freely request songs and enjoy the music without feeling rushed. This flexibility is a significant advantage of a newly opened LP bar.
What Should You Keep in Mind When Visiting Digging Club?
As Digging Club is a relatively new establishment, the LP collection is still growing, which might be a slight drawback for avid vinyl collectors seeking a vast selection. Additionally, the owner may still be refining their process for handling LPs, so there might be occasional delays or minor issues with track changes. These aspects are expected to improve over time. In general, the atmosphere and song selection at an LP bar can vary depending on the day and time of your visit, so it's advisable to check operating hours and any ongoing events beforehand. If you prefer contemporary music and a modern setting, Digging Club is worth considering.
