Seoul Bar & Spirit Show

The Seoul Bar & Spirit Show (SBSS) has quickly established itself as Korea’s premier platform for high-quality spirits and bar culture. Since its inception in 2021, the event has become the only expo in the country exclusively dedicated to the world of spirits, mixology, and professional bartending. Taking place annually at the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in Seoul, one of the most prestigious venues in the city, SBSS offers a unique combination of business, education, and entertainment for the spirits community.

The expo is designed to showcase the latest trends and innovations in spirits, creating a space where producers, distributors, restaurateurs, and bar equipment suppliers can meet and collaborate. By focusing exclusively on high-quality spirits and bar culture, SBSS differentiates itself from broader food and beverage exhibitions in Korea and the region.

Beer, wine, and traditional Korean spirits

Additionally, the expo features gourmet foods, household appliances, and specialized bar equipment, offering attendees a holistic view of the modern bar and hospitality landscape.

Networking, knowledge exchange, and professional development
