 |
|
It's new and fun! Last week was a great time with lots of good musicians jamming. Every Tusday @ Stompers Rock Spot in Iteawon. If you've never been to Stompers you owe it to yourself to check out the friendly scene. The music starts about 9:00 or so... It's very casual and everyone is welcome.
Directions... Go up the giant cement stairs next to Rocky Mountain Tavern on the east end of Itaewon's main street. Turn right at the top of the stairs and Stompers is just about 100 paces on your right. |

Dear friend,
I've heard this place mentioned many times, but have not made it there yet.
What's it like at the weekend (Fri, Sat)? Full, empty?
Is there an entrance fee?
Is it big or small?
Dancefloor?
What kind of music? (i don't like HipHop)
What kind of people? (i prefer teachers, not army) |

Stompers is a basic rock-n-roll bar... It's a popular hangout and has a core group of regular customers on weekdays. Allot of local musicians call Stompers their home bar... It's a decent sized place with a pool table, golden tee machine and stage with music equipment. Sometimes if the band is hot the dance floor can get busy. They have a wide variety of live music on the weekends. Never a cover charge unless there is a special charity event or something but that is only a couple times a year. They pour a proper drink in there so be careful  A couple of their Teq-Mek specials (draft beer and shot of tequila) for 5000 won will set you straight. The bar is owned by a Canadian guy named Dwayne and his partner Alan is from the UK... The place has a very diverse crowd from teachers, military, newspaper and TV people, expats, local Koreans... It's a mixed bag for sure... They even have airline pilots and pro baseball players that show up regularly. The place is not fancy at all... It's not a bar for a first date. It's a bit gritty for sure. The location is gritty as well. It's on the top of hooker hill. Overall it's my favorite place to have a few drinks because the people that hangout there regularly are the best and the owners are very cool and genuine guys. It's probably the best live music scene in Itaewon. |

Seconded. I went there one night when some Korean dudes were doing a test set. Great stuff. The only thing about the regulars is that some of them act like because they are regulars and know the other regulars, this is "their territory" |

I've never noticed a "teritorial" type thing going on in there... Except on Wednesdays when they have pool league and everyone in the bar seems to be involved in the game... That's not my thing though.
This past Tuesday was a great time. There are allot of good musicians in the area that are making the scene happen. |

| This is true. I've jammed there with Dwayne, Andy, Fred, Los Blancos Diablos and many others. All are cool and there's not a whiff of ego. Trust me if you show you will be rocked, blued, funked, and converted. Come see. My name is mike. I have no hair. Please say hi if you see me. Best players in Seoul? Stompers. I know, I go! |
