Pub entertainment in South Korea

  1. A

    Reggae Pub

    Reggae rhythms on the sound system are the main attraction at this Jamaican outpost, but there is pool and darts. Jamaican-style wings, curry and hamburgers are on the menu, and a dance area with disco ball lighting gives the pub a clubby atmosphere as the night progresses on weekends.

    3 Alley Pub

    Mixing together a friendly pub atmosphere (darts, pool, cheap chicken wings on Tuesdays, a trivia quiz on Wednesdays) with top-notch European-style pub grub (mains W15,000) and nine draught beers is a formula that makes this place an expat magnet, especially with the older crowd.

    Gecko’s Terrace

    This comfortable and popular 2nd-floor bar and restaurant has a global menu (meals W11,000), lunch specials and draught beers, plus the obligatory-in-Itaewon darts and pool. The pub supports soccer and ice hockey teams, so it can get rowdy.

    Seoul Pub

    Recently, the revived Seoul Pub has had a real pub atmosphere – loud and happy – at the weekend, lubricated by plenty of pitchers and the Guinness and Kilkenny on tap. Snacks are W5000, meals W12,000.

    Bus

    Unmistakable, this bus-turned-pub is on a side street right near G2. It's a popular hang out and it's open all night until lunchtime.

    Soul Train

    This dark basement pub, patronised by both Koreans and foreigners, has a square bar, a pool table and a nightclub feel.
