Berlin @ Itaewon – Like the 1920s, But No Prohibition

Mike Porto — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:38:41 +0000

Immediately as I stepped inside Berlin in Itaewon, I could feel an overwhelming sense that I was back in the 1920’s. The atmosphere of Berlin was carefully designed with all things from glasses to the floors kept in mind. After my first drink came out, I understood that that the atmosphere, which was so carefully crafted, was predictive of the quality the other drinks and dishes that would soon be present.

Mike Porto on Arirang TV! (Soju Special – 소주 특집)

Mike Porto — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:52:59 +0000

Arirang TV was kind enough to ask SeoulGrid to help film a piece about Soju in Korea. Obviously, we said yes. After about a day of filming and the producer having to put up with Mike Porto’s annoyingly gregarious personality, the following video was produced! Please enjoy. If you can’t enjoy it on the first view, trying viewing it again with soju in hand.

Bong Chu Steamed Chicken (봉추찜닭) @ Hongdae – Steamed Chicken… Obviously

Guest Author: KungPyo Rhee

If you have had enough of fried or greasy chicken, Bong Chu Steamed Chicken(봉추찜닭), located near Hong Dae, provides you a new and healthy experience. Unlike other traditional Korean restaurants, Bong Chu Jjim Dak facinated me with its modern interior décor. The restaurant was crowded but not disturbingly so.

El Bliss @ Hongdae – The Unlikeliest Dining Lounge

Richard — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:47:42 +0000

Soju is drunk in Gangnam. Champagne in Cheongdam, and coffee or wine in Garosu-gil, Sinsa.

So which drinks fit the Hongdae scene?

If anything, Hongdae has it all. Hole-in-the-wall soju and beer places are everywhere. Jagermeister and tequila shots are commonplace in clubs. There are plenty of wine bars and other bars that sell hard liquor. But can you think of a place where you can have some sangria?

El Bliss is a dining lounge that you would expect to see in Cheongdam. El Bliss is reminiscent of Bliss in Itaewon, with similar wall design and light lamps that hang low.

But if anything El Bliss feels more like a cocktail lounge. In other words, totally un-Hongdae-like.
