Music entertainment in Seoul

  1. Grand Ole Opry

    This grand ol’ country-and-western bar and dance hall, with crates of beer lying around and big Mexican hats on the wall, is still going strong. The barn has plenty of honky-tonk atmosphere, compulsory dancing, staff who chat, cheap drinks and cowboy-music requests, all adding up to a good time for the fans.

  2. J Bar

    This funky subterranean cellar with a youthful vibe and a dance area generally has live music every Friday and Saturday from 22:00 to 00:00. At other times the bar staff have a choice of 6000 LPs as well as numerous CDs. There is a pool table, an occasional DJ and beers are not too pricey.

    Slug.Er

    Live indie rock bands and the dark ones of the local metal scene bring in the customers to this dark underground den of a live venue. The drinks aren't too expensive and the there are Hip Hop nights and DJ fests for those who prefer beats and rhymes to hair and solos.

    St 102

    This smart three-level shrine to hip-hop blows the competition away with its lounges, bright dance areas, screens, neon and general pizzazz. This is definitely the place for Seoul young, cool and wannabe G's to hang out.

    Skunk Hell

    Skunk Hell is punk heaven - a black messy dungeon with peeling posters on the ceiling and live, loud punk rock from house band Couch. Saturday is the night to crawl in, but you may have to provide your own drinks.

    A pioneer of electronic music in Hongik, this club's DJs still win prizes and the staff are friendly. Nowadays they play techno and progressive house.
