Boogie Woogie

Itaewon & Yongsan-gu


Shake your stuff to two shows nightly (7pm and 9pm) at this neon-clad live-music den featuring local jazz acts and a smattering of blues, funk and hip hop. It's run by the same musos behind Pet Sounds one floor up. When the bands finish, DJs spin until the early hours. Check the Facebook page to see what's on.
