This bar is more of a club than a bar but the atmosphere is really cheerful and energetic. The drinks and wings are also reasonably priced and overall it’s a nice place to go with friends. (+ this place is pretty well known amongst foreigners!)

Prost Pub & Grill, Seoul : A nice bar with a nice atmosphere. However, a bit on the pricey side compared to some other bars in the area. There are different rooms with different vibes for you to find your cup of tea. ( it is more recommended to go on the weekdays as there are less people )
