anyone know some good bars in these areas? i'm living in this area now.. and trying to find a few good spots locally..

I live in Bongcheon, one stop from both locations.
SNU station area has a lot of bars, WAH bar isn't too pricey, and the choice is good.
I think WAH bar is about five minutes walk from Exit #2.
Sillim, we go to once every couple of weeks, and we usually go to STING Bar, which is at exit #3 or #4, on the 3rd floor, above Happy Liquor Pia.
The owner knows us all quite well now, and he's a real nice bloke (we do spend a fair bit of wedge everytime we go in though!).
Apart from those two, you'll have to go and sniff anything out on your own I'm afraid.

I went to STING.. not bad.. went on a weekday though.. are there any foreigners that congregate their semi-regularly on weekends?

I found one bar x-club which i liked.. they had pitchers of beer for 8000 won which i liked.. and i liked the bar itself and the pretty waitresses..

Sting looked good.. i wish there were pitchers of beer though.. but its good too..

From what I can.. its a predominately Korean nightlife district.. not that many foreigners.. but I always end up in Shinchon/HongDae on weekends so difficult to know because of that..

If I could find a regular group of expats in someplace or another.. i wouldn't mind drinking there.. i love Shinchon/HongDae.. but its the distance thing.. sometimes i want to find a good place nearby as well..

There are a few of us foreigners who live and hang out in Sillim on weekends.... there's an awful lot of bars to choose from and they never close early... email sometime if you wanna join: [email protected]

Me and the missus have just bought a house in Nangok which is pretty close to Sillim station so we're in this general area.

Any more tips/pointers to decent nightlife in the area would be greatly appreciated

I found myself generally going to the tradional haunts of Shinchon, HongDae, or Itaewon.

I never really found much in Shillim.. very very Korean. If you are with friends, you could pretty much take your pick and choose anywhere. But I don't know anywhere around here thats a good hangout or stands out from the rest of the pack..

Yeah, me and some folks have got semi-regular haunts in Gangnam, and tend to spend the rest of the time up at Hongdae/Sinchon or Itaewon if there's football on TV.

I was just curious as to whether there are some half-decent places to go with the missus, or even for a few quiet drinks.
