Does anybody know any places that have foosball tables in Seoul? Especially places where lots of people go to play. I love foosball, but haven't seen any tables in Seoul. Also, if there are any good players out there I'd love to play sometime.

I'm in for foosball.

I know of two tables in HongDae.

One is "shooters and cock".. its near the subway station of Hongik University. Go downstairs once you find this bar.

Another is a German Bar/Restaurant.. its closer to the Front Gate of Hongik University. Can't recall the name, but its more or less across from where the former US-66 Bar was located.

Red Rock Brewery in Kangnam has a brand new foosball table. It's in the alley behind the main Starbucks, about 50 meters up the hill. Great beer too! Very Happy

Great thread, thanks guys. I used to play foosball a lot in New Zealand before I came over here. My flat had a foosball table and we used to play it religiously. To be honest, I haven't really given it much thought until now, I'm glad I stumbled on this thread.

I live close to Hongdae and frequent the bars from time to time, also spend a bit of time in Itaewon but don't like it as much as Hongdae. I haven't been to Kangnam yet, but have a friend who lives there, so I'm sure I'll visit soon. The great beer is appealing too! Very Happy

Someone posted in another thread that Mike's Cabin in Sinchon has a foosball table. However, I don't know where in Sinchon the bar is located.

Thanks for all the info everyone.

I was also wondering, do any of these bars have a good crowd of foosball players? Unfortunately, the people I hang out with don't really enjoy playing so I was hoping to be able to catch a game somewhere. Also, there seems to be some interest on this board. So is anyone up for a foosball gathering? Even if someone wants to just meet up and play I'd be up for that. Feel free to PM me if you want.

I'd be keen to catch up for a game sometime, probably not this week but sometime afterwards would be good. I've only been here for one month and things are still pretty hectic at the moment. I've got tests and report cards to write this week and a few things to sort out, but once things settle down a bit, i'll be keen as a bean.

mike's cabin has a good foos table, along with a dartboard and a wii, which is fun as hell.

to get there, walk out exit 1 of sinchon station and take a right at the second street (not the department store one, but the next one). follow that street down until it dead-ends, and then take a right. the bar is like 15 or 20 meters down on the right.

it's pretty close to the big church by yonsei, too.

Go to Sinchon Station (Line #2/Green).
Go out Exit 2 of the Sinchon Subway.
Go straight until you get to a big brown church (there's only one), which will be on your right.
When you get there, turn left going away from the church.
Go straight until you get to the end of the street which will be a three way.
You should see "sound 노븸방" on your left.
It is located in that building in the basement

---------

I saw foosball tables sold in the basement of one of the department stores in Myongdong.....will post the name of the place if I ever remember it
