Chillout entertainment in South Korea

  1. A

    Todam Teashop

    This rustic den next to Chongdong Theatre serves up genuine homemade teas including ones made from apricots, pine needles and even deer antler. Try sipjeondaebotang, which has 13 ingredients and is sweetened with honey quince syrup and served with Korean green tea, candied ginger and lightweight rice crackers.

    Jazz People

    With a bird's-eye view of Suwon, this comfortable 8th-floor hang-out has live music for half an hour every day at 21:00. A mix of soft Korean or foreign love songs make it a popular blind-date spot, and affordable beers and coffees probably help out as well.
