CLUB, BAR
PLATOON KUNSTHALLE
gujeong, Exit 3; )
What's not to love about this bar/gallery/events space created like a giant's
Lego set from old shipping containers. Drinks and eats are affordable. Thursday night is
open stage for live music performances and there's a wide variety of other events hosted
its annual Ink Bomb tattoo and body art convention.
MOON JAR
BAR
( 541 6118; Line 3 to Apgujeong, Exit 3; )
Rustic charm meets Apgujeong chic at this
convivial
magkeolli
bar and cafe spread over two floors. The menu has several different
types of rice wine and there's some neat twists on the usual food accompaniments such as a
five-coloured
tteokboki
rice cake dish.
TAKE URBAN
( 519 0001; Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu; 8am-midnight; Line 9 to Sinnonhyeon, Exit 3)
On the ground
floor of a building that looks like a giant concrete beehive is this sophisticated and spacious
cafe, with indoor and outdoor options, heaps of designer-style fresh bakery items and or-
ganic coffee.
CAFE
COFFEE BAR K
( 516 1970; Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu; Line 3 to Apgujeong, Exit 3)
If you're into whisky then
this swank bar is for you as it sports one of the largest selections of drams in the city. It's
also famed for its cocktails and cigars - all of which come at a price; expect to pay at least
₩
15,000 a drink.
COCKTAIL BAR
OKTOBERFEST
( 3481 8881; off Seomyeong-gil, Gangnam; beers ₩4000; Line 2 to Gangnam, Exit 9; )
It's much
quieter than Oktoberfest at this long-running microbrewery serving up four freshly pro-
duced brews in a large bare-brick and natural-wood cellar bar. German-style meats are
served by frock-clad lasses. There's other branches around the city, including one in Hong-
dae.
