I went to Bricx hookah bar in Hongdae this weekend and I had previously had good experiences there. This weekend, however, they lost my business for good. I was with a friend and we had a hookah. I was on my second drink and my friend was on a 9,000 won cocktail. Less than an hour into the hookah, the waiter told us we must order another hookah or give it back. I told him it was still going and I wasn't going to give it back. He told me other people were waiting on it. I asked him how many hookah's he had and he wouldn't tell me. Then I told him nobody, absolutely nobody, was smoking a hookah at their table except us. There was no wait for a hookah. I told him we were about to order another round of drinks, but if he wanted to lie to us and take our hookah away before it was finished, we would just go to the Gr8 hookah bar down the street. He said, "ok." What a business man.

So the moral of the story is "F()CK Bricx." Go to Gr8. I have always been treated with more respect and friendliness at Gr8, plus they have 36 flavors of hookah, 16,000 won bottles of wine, 15,000 won bottles of champagne and the coolest sink in a Seoul bar.

I don't remember the name of it but it is French. I'm sure it would sell for 7,000-8,000 in a market, but it is decent champagne for the price. I'm not a champagne snob, though, I usually drink whiskey, beer or wine. Someone wanting really good champagne can order one of the other two more expensive bottles.

Remember, the pipes at Bricx are flavor specific. I don't know enough about hookahs, but for some reason at Bricx they don't alternate flavors on the same pipe. I once waited 30 minutes for a pipe before I found out that I could have had a different flavor immediately. So you may have been the only one smoking sheesha at the time, but perhaps your pipe had the flavor that someone else ordered.

Maybe there was no one else with a hookah because you were hogging it, peckerhead.

Hookahs suck. Smoke real drugs, hippie.

Okay, what's a hookah?

And, a restaurant that allows its waiters to clean up around the guests before they are finished and haggle with guests is bad form. It's in the same league as that.
