Bar Escape

Escape is another cocktail bar in Jongro-3-ga. it's like a clone of bar Blood G yet it's atmosphere is younger and a bit mire trendier. Martini and other cocktails are nice and over the weekend it looks like being crowded in general.

This is one of a few bars where English is spoken though it's now as widely as in Itaewon.

Its location is tagged to this posting so check it on your map app. This bar sits on the second floor of its building.

Happy queer night out though it's snow raining in Seoul! ;-)

After trying out 79 bar once more

Dropped by 79 bar, relatively new Soju bar in Jongro-3-a, twice for research and found out it's not as satisfactory as anticipated. Mostly busy yet maybe that's why I couldn't expect nicer service nor foods there.

After my first visit there, I expected it to get any better.. yet didn't. Previously I wrote this place might be good for drinking alone but it's likely that there are better Soju place for the time in your own.

I will find more gay Soju place for Soju fans out there and will write about 'Whee' soon, one of the famous gay Soju place in Jongro.

Ciao.

Top gay iPhone Apps

Here's an interesting review of iPhone apps for LGBT. How many of them do you have on your iPhone if you're using it? Grindr is definitely my favorite. Also other types of location-based apps interest me as well. Should give'em a try!

If I build one for your gay night life in Seoul, would you be willing to install? :-)

Accommodation; IP Boutique hotel in Itaewon

If you're looking for a boutique hotel in Itaewon, there's a one which newly opened recently - IP Boutique hotel.

Location is perfect because it's close enough that you can walk to many gay bars and clubs in Itaewon yet not too close so you could relax in a relatively quite atmosphere. Also its neighborhood offers variety of exotic restaurants such as Korean, Japanese, Thai, Turkish, Greek, Mexican and India.. or more. You just name it.

Its website says a single room costs around less than USD200 per night. For more details, visit its websites though most of the contents are Korean. You may inquire to receptionist by email.

Clubbing in Itaewon

I'm going to share some of the experiences in Itaewon.

Itaewon is a one of two famous gay streets in Seoul which is packed up with lots of non-Koreans and Korean gays enjoying hip clubbing. One good thing is English is widely spoken here.

Since I'm not a big fan of clubbing , I've been away from the neighborhood for the time being but recently my young energetic friends had me spend some time there and I'd like to share the list of most crowded clubs in Itaewon I've witnessed.

1. Pulse
Definitely, it's the most crowed club in Itaewon. Celebrities appear there sometimes. Open at 2am. Cover is krw10,000. Just go, dance and hook up with young charming gays.

2. Queen
This lounge bar turn into a club in the midnight. I sensed guys come here for drinks and dancing until Pulse opens. No cover fee.

3. Eat me
This bar is located right in front of Queen. Four or five tables and counter. Very friendly staffs here and drinks are good. My favorite staff there is a lady called Lindsay(spelling might be wrong) who laughs a lot and super friendly.

4. B One
Sadly no chance to get in here yet my friend told me this bar is super crowded, which is easily understood if you look at the long queue out of the bar.

5. Almaz
This cocktail bar is relatively quiet and hidden in an alley so if you aren't in the mood for dancing shoulder to shoulder, this bar could be a good option for you.

I'll get the location of each of them later so stay tuned ;-)

Happy gay night out in Seoul!

Thanks to guys on Grindr

It looks like this blog is being known more (though it's slow) thanks to guys on Grindr.

Today I got a message from a guy on Grindr that he showed this blog to his foreign friends, which I truly appreciate.

I couldn't say thank you to him owing to the instability of Grindr on iPhone so I say 'Thank you' here.

Happy gay night out on Friday to you all!! ;-)
