Another soju place in Jongno 3 ga. Hit this with my friend and I would say this place is no more than just a tasteless, boring and unattractive bar. Friendly and charming crew, nice atmosphere telling its own story and good food/drink - any of these essential factors to be a good bar was hardly found here.

BTW, AI, its name, means 'love' in Japanese. Love, AI.

Location of Itaewon and Jongno, Seoul

As I mentioned earlier, there are two famous gay areas in Seoul; Jongno 3 ga and Itaewon. Since Seoul is a big city, it might not be as easy for you hop from one area to the other one unless you don't know the accurate location of those areas.

Take a look at the map below. You will see 3 arrows locating Seoul station (Landmark of Kangbuk area), Jongno-3-ga Station and Itaewon Station. One of the easiest ways to get to Jongno-3-ga and Itaewon is to use subways (subway system in Seoul is quite convenient). At Jongno-3-ga Station, No1, 3, 5 lines cross so just take any one nearest your hotel. And as for Itaewon Station, No.6 line is the only one going there but No.6 line meets No.3, 4, 5 lines near Itaewon Station so you can easily transfer.

But if you're willing to use a little more money for the sake of convenience, take a cab at your hotel and tell your driver to go to 'Nak-won-Sang-Ga'(for Jongno-3-ga) or 'Hamilton Hotel'(for Itaewon). Quite an adventure? ;-)
