What is that?

I just heard of a friend who went to Gangnam and went to a 'sexy bar'.

The others were talking about how its the latest fad, particularly prevalant around Jonggak in particular - from what I heard.

No one could really give me a clear answer what it was exactly.

Anyone been to one? Or heard of them? Apparently they began to originate around 1-3 months from what I understand, and really sprouting up everywhere suddenly.

They've been around a lot longer than that. Their waitresses are too sexy.

Right.


Not the ideal place to take your date, is it? Then again, I suppose it doesn't hurt to stir the competitive juices now & then.

Sexy bar? Don't you mean skanky bar?

That's kind of what I expected Ho Bar to be like.

there's a bar called "Bikini university" near Gwanghwamun, and those "Better Than Beer" bars are sprouting up, I'm guessing that's what we're talking about right?

They probably got the idea from Australian skimpy bars. Rolling Eyes

The Joongang Daily seems to claim they're "cosplay" bars. Yeah, no sex or maybe even nudity. I hope these women get tips.

What's the deal on this "Better than Beer" place. I saw an ad for that place in that Coco coupon book and it looked like a Korean Hooters.

It's alright.. like everyone says it's overpriced etc. But, if you go there like once and like the atmosphere than it might be worth the 7000 won beer.
