Seoul Nightlife
The cosmopolitan city of Seoul is known as having quite a good nightlife packed with just about every activity, all kinds of entertainment and plenty of karaoke in between. Popular places to enjoy a night out are the Old Tea Shop - Tea house, Time Out, Murphy's Bar and Salon de Flora.
The nightmarkets in Dongdaemun see plenty of action, while Myeongdong is a great spot for anything and many people start off their evenings here with a dinner or a few beers at one of the many cafés and bars. The place to be seen is at any one of the exclusive wine bars, clubs and expensive bars in Apgujeong-dong or Sinsadong, which attracts a trendy crowd.
The more relaxed, younger crowd tends to hang out in Gangnam where plenty of Western-style clubs and bars can be found. Dongdaemun is great for a few quiet ales and a spot of theatre, or to stroll through a gallery. Hongdae is the best area for live music and great dance floors to show your moves on. Whatever your tastes, you can be sure to find something in Seoul.
