King Club
An Itaewon institution that likes to change its spots. Early on the bar girls serve up W5000 drinks to a quiet clientele who play pool and chat, then the GI hip-hop clubbers arrive around 10pm and leave at 1am, when the late, late-night party begins with a more Korean atmosphere. A bottle of Oscar ‘champagne’ is only W10,000, but you probably won’t buy a second.

M2
Deep underground is M2, one of the largest and best Hongdae clubs. It has a high ceiling and plenty of lights and visuals. Top local and international DJs spin mainly progressive house music. Wednesday is ladies night. The only downside at this celeb haunt is that some staff are on the obstinate side.

C
Club Caliente
The varied Latin beats and rhythms laid on by DJ Josh will get you to your feet – especially after a couple of the club’s La Rosa soju (a vodkalike liqour) mixes. Saturday nights are always packed, and dance lessons are available – ask at the venue for days and times.

Sk@2
DJs Hyun Geun and Beat 2 Flow crank up a bit of everything (except ska) on the B1 level. The curtained section with round, red beds is reserved for wealthy whiskey drinkers. Downstairs has house and electronic with a more laser/psychedelic style. Free entry for ladies except Friday and Saturday.

Macondo
Free dancing lessons are a daily attraction at this other long-lasting Latin American dance club where you can show off those salsa, merengue and bachata moves. It’s at the other end of Hongdae from most of the clubs. Drunks aren’t welcome.

Vinyl Underground
Bring your A-game to this hip-hopping dance club that's wall-to-wall flesh late Fridays and Saturdays. Commingle with local women sporting the latest music video-inspired club wear and the baddest home boyz to come out of Saskatchewan. It's up the street from Ol'55.

Bahia
Seoul’s best Latin American dance club, Bahia has a friendly atmosphere and mirrors down one side, so you can check out your moves. Saturday always sizzles, as does Wednesday, which is bachata (music originating from the Dominican Republic) night.

Soul Trane
Soul Trane is a dance club that falls in and out of fashion with lugubrious English-language teachers and Korean women hoping to brush up on their conversation skills. Located near the front gate of Pusan National University.

Club Saab
Five DJs a night with a hard hip-hop attitude play here, including the popular Schedule 1 and Maniac. It’s the nearest thing to gangsta rap in Seoul – you can decide whether it’s for show or for real. Beers are W6000.

Joker Red
Up to seven DJs, including Sunshine and Shai, spin the tables at this ‘we love techno’ club. Its larger and smarter than many others, with enough red lights to justify its name.
