Restaurants, Bars, Clubs and Nightlife in Seoul, Korea

Gangnam area is definitely where the night life is at.  As a matter of fact, I would segment Seoul night life into four main areas: Gangnam (station, 강남역 부근), Apgujeong Rodeo/Cheongdam-dong area (압구정 로데오/청담동), Itaewon (이태원) and Hongdae (홍대). Of course there are also awesome places like Garosugil, Shinsa (신사동 가로수길), Seorae Ma’eul, Bangbae/Banpo  (반포/방배동 서래마을) Insadong (인사동), Samchung-dong (삼청동) and etc., but in this Review series I will write about clubs in Gangnam. In a series of posts I will review all the clubs near near Gangnam station (Line #2, green) including:

• NB
• Harlem
• Club Mass
• Club Eden
• Miro

For the longest time I was on the mission to find the best mojitos in Seoul.  All I wanted was a perfectly prepared glass of mojito with fresh mint leaves and lime.  I’ve ordered mojitos in a dozen or so bars that are supposedly famous – some rather disappointing and some very pleasantly suprising.

Here are some bars and lounges I checked out that were rather decent (I won’t even mention all the crappy ones I’ve tasted in clubs and cheap bars).

M Lounge (Villa Sortino), Itaewon

Serein (Garosu-gil), Shinsa-dong

Woobar (W-Hotel), Gwangjang-dong

74, Cheongdam-dong

Lound, Cheongdam-dong

Club Function (Macaroni Market), Itaewon

So where is the master mixologist of mojito?

One of the venues sporting the nicest gallery-type interior.

Dear Chocolate is a chocolatier with a kicking interior.  Apparently they won three designer awards for interior decor.  Really looks like you are walking in a trendy gallery.

Some pictures and a very brief review after the jump.

I haven’t posted pictures from “Loveholic” Valentines party.  We had a great turnout and I sure as hell had a lot of fun!

More pictures after the jump.

Redefining Trendiness in Seoul

Macaroni Market is by far one of my favorite hangout places in Seoul.  It’s not everywhere you can find a cafe & deli for a sandwich and a cup of tea, restaurant space for full course dinner and a private club where you can have a well-made cocktail or two while dancing the night away.

Pictures and descriptions after the jump.
