Where is everyone hanging out tonight? Tonight there’s Soul Heaven Hennessy Artistry, with Andy Ward (Soul Central, UK). It is hosted at Club Function inside Macaroni Market, Itaewon. This is where SeoulGrid crew will be hanging out tonight!
Event details after the jump.
July First Thursdays Afterwork party pictures are out! Despite the event being hosted on a Thursday, the turnout for it was great. It was a lounge party with orange lighting to go with Veuve Clicquot’s label color. Invitees gradually and continuously showed up until midnight.
While sipping on Veuve Clicquot champagne, invited guests initiated conversation with others and got conversations flowing. After reaching a point where it was no longer clear whether it was conversation or champagne that flowed more in the venue, people started to dance to lounge music of DJ Yoo.

Moet Hennessy is introducing a new line of Belvedere, premium-grade vodka well-known amongst clubbers and bar-goers of the world this July. Belvedere 1X is Belvedere Pure’s fashionable twin, targeting high-end consumers in the trendiest clubs around the world. Belvedere 1X is a blended vodka made from 9 different flavors including guarana, eucalytus, black cherry, ginseng and etc. Moet Hennessy aims to set a new standard in vodka market, calling their newest line of Belvedere “prestige-grade” vodka.
The electric pink graffiti design imposed on black background definitely screams everything club-and-lounge. Andre, the designer behind Louis Vuitton Monogram conceptualized the bottle as well as Belvedere 1X’s character, Mr. 1X (see after the jump.)
I actually got a chance to taste it. The one I had was 100 proof (50% by alcohol volume), but commercial version of 1X will be 80 proof. When I drank it chilled it was a fuse of herbal blast of energy and pink lasers.

Diamond Dealer from South Africa came to Seoul last Saturday to rock the crowd! 500 shots of Jagermeister was given out for free throughout the night. People partied hard and definitely danced their night away. Yet another great party at Club Function.

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?
