Live Music Bar: All Along 176
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Seoul, on the outskirts near the Kyonggido border, is a stretch of road past Guri that is lined with club after club. restaurant after restaurant. They are all along "Sol-tukpyolsi Highway 176" Take your choice of clubbing. Each seems to have it's own theme, and most advertise live music and a cafe atmosphere as well. Mostly Korean artist of course, but a good way to mingle with the swankier citizens. To get to this area, it's pretty simple. One, I suggest getting a car. It will cost an arm and a leg by a cab. So rent a vehicle, and go northeast on Olympic 88. 88 Will end, veer right and turn into 176 and head east along the river. Go up about 2km, and all along the right side, club after club after club.

    Live Music Bar: Not Just Another Western Bar
  • Tip Rating:
  • Anyone who doesn't know of the Hard Rock Cafe world franchise was probably born while I was writing this so it would not do me any good to tell you what sort of place this is. Unlike most franchises though, the Hard Rock organization lets each general manager tailor it's staff and entertainment to suit the tastes of the local clientel. Patrick Ong, general manager Seoul, has done an outstanding job here. The staff is from all over the world to better fit the cosmopolitan area that is Kangnam; not just Korea and they are all multilingual. The food is great and some the best cocktails to be had in Seoul can be found here. You can go as cheap as a 5000 won mug of OB draft all the way up to a bottle 30 year old Ballentine's for a measley 1,300,000 won! Some of the best live music to be had in Seoul can be found here every night after 9pm except on Mondays. Bring your dancing shoes and Cuban cigars and relax in an atmosphere that may remind of late nights in Spain or San Paulo if you are not careful.

    You will be equally confortable and equally treated here whether you are wearing Armani or Levi's. Everyone feels and is treated like a friend here.

    Live Music Bar: 176 Cafe's

    This is an example of the live cafe's along 176. For the guys - A bunch or artists you don't know, performing songs you don't know, and talking to girls that you don't know. For the girls, it's listening to music you don't like, by artists you don't like, and getting hit on by guys you detest. Another great night in Seoul, South Korea :) Of course, the above can be applied everywhere, but mainly along the 176 clubs. Take 88 Northeast until it ends and turns into Soltukpyolsi 176, Go east 2km or so and numberous bars will be on your left.

    Live Music Bar: Oasis Bar
  • Tip Rating:
  • At the Oasis, located in the Dragon Hill Lodge, there sits a bar with a very good drink list. It seems like most of the drinks are on the pricy side, but I guess that is "atmosphere tax." Good place to bring your friends and listen to free live music attempt to sing English songs with the lack of the letter L. (AKA...My last name is Clark, but it is pronounced Crark) There is a last call for alcohol, seems to be about 1AM. Good place to get started though before rolling out to Itaewon Clubs or whatever else you had in mind.

    The Drug Club is not really a club at all but a spray painted basement. It's a small alcohol/ drug free venue where up and coming Korean rock/ punk groups play. Crying Nut started out here as well as others. It's quite an experience and well worth the price of admission. This is Seoul's underground scene. note: concerts are usually early like 6:30 early so depending on whosse playing you should arrive before that.

    There were suits there were suspenders there were plaid skirts and pants and there were Roots sweat shirts...

    Live Music Bar: rock music
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sound Holic is a pretty happening place for koreans to hang out and listen to korean rock bands. I had no clue what they were saying half the time but it was pretty good. They did a few songs in english... But every one would always go wild when a band call cherry filter would come on stage.

    OK, so most people (including me) stay out of Iteawon but I have been known to hang out at Bar Nana - esp. when my mate Jimmy is play a few of his songs. It's a very casual place - good crowd of people - normally empty of annoying US GIs.

    Just come as you are.

  • Tip Rating:
  • In addition to the bars and nightclubs located inside major hotels, there are many nightspots in Seoul. The area around Hongik University is filled with unique cafes, bars, and clubs featuring live performances by underground artists. Likewise, Sinchon, around Yonsei University, assumes a whole new life at night when cafes, pubs and karaoke places are packed with college students and young office workers who are attracted by its cheaper prices. Itaewon, a popular shopping destination among foreigners, has long been famous for the nighttime scene. There are many restaurants serving cuisine from different countries. Theme clubs here also cater to foreigners. The area around Gangnam Station is always packed with people looking for a place for a drink after work. There are numerous pubs, cafes and karaoke rooms in the area. Apgujeong-dong area features more posh entertainment. Night owls sporting the latest in fashion flock here to spend the evening at the area¡¯s cafes, restaurants, clubs and karaoke rooms. The Sheraton Walker Hill Casino is the only casino in Seoul. The casino features Baccarat machines, Blackjack tables and 100 slot machines. There are also roulette and big wheel games. For more information: http://www.visitseoul.net/english/

    casual or formal, whichever you wear........... as long as you are ready to absorb the party atmosphere, you are just all set!!! So go and have it all!!!

  • Tip Rating:
  • There are many nice cafes and restautants in here, ChungDam-Dong! The name 'Once In a Blue Moon', 'BarBar', 'ZZYZX', 'S' are the most fancy bar!! From 8 pm to 12~1 am o'clock, you can enjoy very nice music, food and mood~ :) Also you can see very cool girls and guys, too~!! But the price is little bit expensive. One glass of a cocktail is 10,000 ~ 12,000 won. They are all in the block which is diagonally across the Gelleria Department store.
