Just curious as to which bars are the ones people on this board frequent in Seoul. When a big game is on, I like to hit one of the sports bars in Itaewon (like the Pacquiao-Clottey fight).

I'm into low-key places with no drunk slimeballs as regulars and friendly bartenders.

1) Scrooge -- I like the Filipino staff

2) Manila Bar -- good open karaoke and Filipino atmosphere (and yes, I like the Philippines and its people)

3) Dilinger's -- friendly bartenders and it's not a sausage party or loser fest like other Itaewon bars are

4) Beer O'Clock -- friendly bartenders and good location

I'm hoping more bars in the style of neighborhood watering holes open in Itaewon.

Nana in Itaewon hits the spot for me-- nice K-staff, nice foreigner/Korean mix of people, though it can get busy at times. Weekdays are great for listening to really cool tunes and meeting other relaxed people-- quite rare for the area. Almost feels like you're not in Korea (or Itaewon) at all.

Reggae pub was a favorite, I like it less now that it's on the hill and is called Club Zion.

manila's gotten too crowded so I dont like it as much anymore.

come to think of it, i don't seem to frequent bars as much as i used to, as the ones i used to hit up have gone under. i guess that's a good thing. i wonder if watt's on tap is still around

also, there's beer o clock in itaewon now?

Don't really get into the Ex Pat scene anymore. I will go to pretty much any Oil drum Samgyupsal restaurant.

Scrooge's, 3 Alley, Sam Ryans, and Rocky Mountain Tavern (on occasion).

Where are these bars ??
Im always in itaewon but have never seen these places. The Filipino place I wouldnt mind checking out especially.

Im a creature of habit so usually the wolfehound , good food ,good atmosphere good drink selection, will play any music you ask for and nice staff. Although I will agree that the crowd can be a bit sketchy sometimes.
