Hi,

my stint is just about over here in Korea, I'm hoping to get some bar recommendations for a farewell party. I expect a little over 20 people to come (even ratio of foreigners to koreans, not all are coming at exactly the same time)

my criteria:
1. no reservations needed
2. not an izakaya, soju bar, etc...I'd like something where we can all sit down at a long table and chat with each other over bottles of whiskey
3. not excessively loud music
4. no korean pop
5. preferably in Sinchon, but I'm flexible.
6. pay-as-you-drink system. i really don't want to divy up the bill at the end of it, especially since people will be coming and going.

i went to Yaletown in Sinchon a few weeks ago and had a good time, but i'm worried that place is a bit small. iPub is expensive and tacky, but I may have to compromise.

IF you're talking about Sinchon near Yonsei university, there's a "Beer Time" there that's owned by a Canadian guy, or guys...don't ask me for directions though, that place is hard to navigate if you've only been there a few times.

It' Beer O'Clock actually. If you walk out out Sinchon station towards Yonsei, make a left at that 4 way intersection, when you get to the first intersection go right, there will be a mart on the right. Go down to the second street that "T"s up make a left. You should see it.

Korean Traditional Sound is a really neat spot. They have walls of records and play LPs of old sixties korean garage bands. They're partway between Sinchon and Hongdae stations. Lemme know if you'd like directions!
