i remember reading about one of the posters here who dj'd at a really nice club somwhere in seoul.
i can't remember the name or details, but pictures showed it was all white inside, and i think you have to take your shoes off inside?
anyone have any info?

It's called "Oi".

Here are some pics.

If it's still the same place, you're probably talking about the OI Club in Hongdae. Sorta psychedelic, with white caves. It's above Catchlight night club. I think the elevator entrance is sorta to the left (if you're looking at Catchlight). It's on the third floor. From Hongdae univ. main gate, take the small street up the hill, go past the park, small block or so on the left. You can ask around for catchlight.

is it worth a visit? i've got friends visiting & wanted to show them something special. should i just stick to soju bars?

oi club is alright. I guess it depends on what kind of music they like. There are a lot of interesting places around there. Right around the corner is the sub zero ice bar. Can be fun with the right crowd. Usually completely dead though.

Plenty of Hookah bars, from bedouin style to Bricx. You can try the large tented, soju/food places down the street from hongdae uni. Some other live music venues aorund there too. Check the current events forum or something.

If nothing else, Oi Bar is intersting for the fact it can exist. Back home public liability/council regulations would prevent such a place from operating. Watch where you choose to step...especially when they turn all the lights off and snub all the candles. I think it is worth a visit. I like the place.
