Like many of the ex-pat bars in Korea, most of the patrons here are 20's & 30's year olds who are teaching English. Dave & Mike's is no different.
They have a decent food menu and drinks of all kinds. They also have a large projection TV and stage that can be used for special occasions. Bar is equipped with computer DJ/MP3.

Truffaut is another unique find in Korea. This laid-back chill bar is less of a bar and more a hip-style art cafe.
There are many books to choose from and several hundred DVD movies. The movies are offered two at a time to take home and return later. The only thing you have to do is register with a 20000 KRW deposit (returned after you cancel membership).
On special nights, some locals may gather here to discuss their art/films/theater/etc.

Ethnic bar is a unique style place in Korea. It is in the basement level of the building. The lighting is dim, but is softly lit with candles all around the area.
There is a small reflection pool in the center, with candles and small plants decorating the entire area. The seating is actually just pillows as you'd find in Turkey or middle-east. The music is soothing chill music too. The drinks are slightly on the expensive side, but are served very strong.
A good place to take a small group or couple for quiet conversations.

Historically speaking, Kwangju is famous for politcal upheaval. Here is a peaceful demonstration outside the Kwangju train station, 2002.
