Party Globally

I went to Seoul many times, most of the times I have been there I was with the military so I stayed close to the military population.  With that being said, I spent a lot of time in Itaewon.  Itaewon is a little district in Seoul that has many bars, clubs, restaurants, vendors etc…  They mainly cater to the military, but there are many good things going on around there.  One of my favorite places to go when I was there was a little bar about halfway up the Itaewon strip named “Gecko’s”.  Located on the 2nd floor across the street from the Burger King.  I haven’t been there in years, but it was a very laid back bar, you could be cheap beers, good food and a cigar to top it all off.

After I caught a good buzz at Gecko’s I would usually head to the Hyatt at the top of the hill.   The Hyatt has a great club at the bottom named JJ Mahoney’s which is one of the best clubs in Seoul.  It is a bit pricey though (thats why I would get nice and buzzed at Gecko’s.)  JJ’s has two sides a techno side and a live band / bar side.  Very fun atmosphere, usually no Americans around so you are a hot commodity if you know what I mean.

There are plenty of other spots to hit up around the area, these are just the ones I most frequently visited.  If you have any updates or any suggestions please leave comments.
