Bars & Nightlife
Nighttime entertainment in Seoul is really more about the neighbourhood than a particular establishment. Each area is known for its very specific vibe, and knowing what you're looking for might be a good idea before deciding on a location. The go-to areas include: the stylish Hongdae district (popular with professionals), the bohemian Gangnam district (favoured by young, trendy twenty-somethings), and Itaewon (a location most favoured by internationals). Other popular haunts include low-key Myeongdong and Daehangno, as well as upscale Apgujeong-dong or Sinsadong. Most clubs and bars remain open late into the night but one genre of entertainment really stands out after hours for those looking for an authentic experience of sorts, karaoke. Fall into one of the many Seoulian "noraebang" bars which are popular with locals to show off your pipes and have a sing-song.
