Summer night out with bunch of queers

Doesn't look hygienic to have a drinks and snacks on the street? Some say Yes and some say No.

Whatever they say, dominant gay gathering scenes are being found at (so called) tent bars on the street like this. There could be a couple of reasons for that; First, its seasonal atmosphere attracts gays out of buildings to enjoy summer nights on a cool breeze. Second, a tent bar provides an easy atmosphere for any gays and straights who enjoy drinking. That's a quite convenient option for those who gathered for social drinking.

BTW, night time drinking is just a part of gay scenes in Seoul. Korea society is now much opening up its door to social minorities and consequently many other kinds of gay cultures are being COMING OUT, from queer movie productions to lovely gay choir concert. Exciting, isn't it?

A cocktail bar quite a few foreigners enjoy visiting. Good cocktails reasonably priced. Located in Jongno-3-ga. If you look for a bar that's not too exotic nor strange, this is a place you may try. Another good thing here is that you may have free WIFI connection if you're at some urgent e-mailing.

One of the karaokes in Jongro area, which has been known well among gays in their late 20s/30s. Quite typical karaoke atmosphere and not very special.

But it's always fun if you're with your friends, wherever you are. Enjoy
