Seoul Pub Crawl

I have been here for a while (I live and work here in Seoul) and tend to go to the pub crawls quite often. Great way to meet some new folks (both foreign and native) from all over the world. Always entertaining and fun. There’s two areas that rotate each week (Hongdae and Itaewon). If one week had Hongdae on Friday and Itaewon on Saturday, next week would be flipped (so if you always work on Firday nights, you can always have a chance at attending both Hongdae and Itaewon). Both areas are great, with good bars and clubs. If you happen to miss the last train/bus and live further away, you will either have to take a taxi (which usually is cheap, but can be difficult if you don’t speak Korean, it thankfully if you can find a captain, they can help you). You can also do what I do and just stay out all night until the train/bus starts again (around 5 AM). Just hang out with your next found friends. The “captains” are there to help you interact with other folks, if you go solo (so no need to be worried to go alone). There’s usually two captains each night (Friday and Saturday) who are there to help you, if needed. Having been here and gone to quite a few of these, each captain has their own uniqueness and style, but are all wonderful people (shout out to Meghan, Phillip, Deb/Debbie, Soya, Melodie, and Anthony who unfortunately left recently) Ruso is also a wonderful photographer who helps out and captures incredible photos (so you can enjoy the night). The price is quite reasonable for what you get (3 bars and 1 club). Clubs alone are usually the price of the pub crawl, which makes it a no-brained. You owe yourself a favor to go, whether you are on vacation or live here (and haven’t gone).

I experienced a night in Itaewon. We were a huge group, with a lot of different nationalities mixed (including Korean folks). It was extremely fun, everyone was getting along and Captain Kim always made sure everybody felt good and safe throughout the night. Definitely something to try if you have the chance, it’s a perfect way of getting to know not only locals, but other people too! Also, good to remind you that Captain Kim is the best

It was an overall great experience! My first time trying out since my friend suggested and didn’t regret it one bit! Made new friends from Austria, Texas, Malaysia and fellow Singaporeans! Our guides Kim and Sunshine were really friendly and approachable with Kim explaining to us what we should expect and checking in on us to make sure we were having fun to Sunshine making sure that we know when to leave and head over to the next place. Didn’t regret signing up! If you are ever in Korea don’t forget to try this too! And hope you get the same guides as us.

Thank you Zack Zaza for a wonderful night! This has been one of the best pub crawls I’ve been on! The leaders were attentive, kind and fun and the experience was an overall 10/10! This is an awesome experience for any solo travelers who are having a hard time connecting with other people when in Seoul! Take a chance and make new friends; you won’t regret it!
