Which one is clearly the best in terms of great management, good selection of 'patrons', and the scene of various Westerner/Korean or Westerner/Westerner friendly 'interaction'.

I'm living in Changwon, so my vote is definitely "O'Brien's" here in town. Great owner, wonderful 'characters', and the food looks great too.

I used to spend some quality time in "Gecko's", but "O'Brien's" beats it.

it's none od te above and so its a secret!

Mike and Dave's Speakeasy in Gwangju, Jeollanamdo, have a really good, sociable vibe, a great house band, and make a great - and effective! - effort to get good bands and DJs in from around the country.

They have a good selection of beers, good pub food, and a great locale in central down-town, on a second floor;

but the thing that's different that I like best about the place is that as a non-smoker, there's a whole wall-full of large windows that open up wide, so the place is never too damn smokey!

Never been to O'brians. But I am a gecko's girl. I love going in the early afternoon, sitting at the bar, drinking a pint, with the option of pool, darts, great food and interesting characters to chat up.

Best bar in Korea? Doubt it. But I like it.

I'd rather eat my own face than drink at either RMT or Geckos. I'm casting my vote for Three Alleys.

The Dublin in Bundang gets my vote. Free darts, free pool, friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere, and complete lack of any hassle. Not always the most raging place, but worth avoiding the trip into Seoul.

none of the above, for I can't play music there....

of course, not a concern for the average (not degrading you) Dave's post-er

[just because]

Since i am living in changwon i have to vote O'briens...i am there usually 2 times a week, sometimes 3.

Some good times and great people i have met there......

[cangel]

So you've already narrowed it down to those 2, huh? Not much of a poll.

I've been to Gecko's. It seemed more like a family restaurant than a bar. Decent enough burger but I'd never go there to drink.

the flash thing and the fast motion tends to make more than it is but it looks bad to a teacher who thinks the worse...

I've never been to O'Brien's but any bar with two apostrophes in the name sounds like my kind of place.
