Yes...it's possible.

I just discovered "Mojito" this evening. It's in the same alley as Metropolis, close to Lotte.

Super chill martini lounge complete with a generous selection of vodkas and iPads for browsing the menu.

Prices are reasonable. Music is hot. Check it out.

Not to sound like an ass, but that place has been open for almost a year, if not that long. The owner's brother owns No Block across the street. I remember when he opened it he said he wanted to bring the Gangnam feel to Nowon. They do have Heineken on draft if I remember correctly, though 8,000 won is not reasonably priced. The prices are fair if you're into buying bottles, or not getting drunk, which I don't think a lot of people are.

A good bar that should be added to any Nowonian's list. Could be a good place to bring a date.

well, you just DID sound like an ass. and for what reason? to tell the dude that the bar has been open for a year? so who cares how long it has been opened, since he just discovered it and liked it?

i thought the place was decent, but wouldn't go up to Nowon just to go to Mojito's.

I agree--probably not worth a special trip if you're not from around here. But there aren't too many nice lounges in the Nowon area, so I thought I'd pass along the word...

So, a guy can come on here and tell people about a bar he's just dicovered, but I'm not allowed to say it's been open a while and to give a little background knowledge of the place? I'm 'just passing along' some information. I initially said my intentions were not be an ass.

Stay in Gangnam Toonchoon, your 'tude doesn't fly in Nowon. Hahaha. I'm kidding, just chill out.

Ipads as menus? How does that work? Do they just hand them out?

yeah, maybe it's a bit silly, because you can't actually order with the ipad--you just use it to view the drink options. but i love tab technology, so i still think it's kind of cool.
