Korea has always had an obsession with organic products. Although selling organic products in Korea is often used as a gimic, Café 5 CiJung offers original Makkeoli cocktails and drinks, which are complimented by private art exhibitions, all organized by the owner, Oh(5 in Korean) CiJung.

Finding one of those ‘Stand-out’ restaurants in Garosu Gil must be a challenge to pretty much everyone even if you come across the street often. Sometimes having too many choices could be more bothersome than not having any!

Come celebrate with us at Sir Raymond English pub! (Yes, we are celebrating Saint Patty’s day at an English pub haha).
I will be there from 9pm onwards along with a reasonably sized crowd. Put something green on and let’s celebrate with a pint of Guiness! Say hello if you see a guy wearing a ridiculously neon green polo shirt.

Social Club @ Garosu-gil, Sinsa – Hidden Gem Hidden Too Well
Sometimes you just need your own space – which is the reason why I was rather hesitant to write this article to begin with. I sort of wanted to keep this venue out of everyone’s sight, which I am sure the venue owner will strongly disagree with, but I decided to share my hidden gem with everyone on the site.
The venue in question is titled Social Club, in the middle of Shinsa Garosu-gil. It is located smack in the middle of the main street, right across from 7/11. I ended up checking out the place when I noticed a sign that I didn’t notice before. Fairly conspicuous with its minimalist design, the square sign suggested it must be a new trendy place in Shinsa.
