Long a staple club on the Hongdae night club scene. This place is always hopping every Friday night. The slogan of this place is “We will hook you up with the buzz alcohol, music fun and of course crazy boys and girls”. And they stick to it mostly. Everybody is entranced with the music and absorbed in the moment fully. 6 shots of tequila is only 5,000won and a bucket of vodka orange is 8,000won but this is only during ‘Happy time’, which is at 9pm.

B one Lounge Club (비원 라운지 클럽):
A hot club you can find in Itaewon. A landmark really. And you can see why once you get in the door. B1 is said to be the pioneer that created the lounge culture in Korean club history. At first it was only a small club but from 2013 it moved to a bigger venue with updated interior. The genre of music on offer is various. You got electronic, house, techno and more.

Obviously there is other clubs out there that suit other style and other tastes but for me this places stood out as wonderful clubs for having a great time, though some of these club are steep with the price of things, the amount of fun one can have is really really high! On to the weekend!
