Opened in the upscale neighborhood of Cheongdam, Seoul, in December 2020, ZEST marked a significant leap of faith for seasoned bartender Demie Kim, who leads the operation alongside co- founders Jisu Park, Sean Woo, and Noah Kwon. Despite the tumultuous period and concerns that a sustainability-focused bar might not appeal, their fears were soon allayed.

Just one year later, ZEST earned a spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list. In 2023, ZEST received even more surprising news: they jumped a record-breaking 43 spots to become Asia’s No. 5 bar, were named the best bar in Korea, and secured the No. 18 spot on the global list — the highest new entry that year.
