It is near the Seo ( West ) Daejeon Train Station in Yu Chon Dong.

It is hard for me to give easy directions. I would exit the Seo Daejeon train station and take an immediate right ( dont exit the station grounds , it is straight right, past a little mini mart on the corner( people are usual hanging out there, great place to have a beer, then take the lane ( cars can drive on it so watch it) down the to the pedestrian overpass ( gets you over the tracks) , when you get to the other side keep walking down the street toward the KB Bank. The Bar will be on the left side. You cant miss it at night.

If anyone gets a picture of it , could you post it here? A friend back home wants see a picture of it.

I would actually make a trip down to Daejeon for that. Are you certain it's still there?

I don't live around there, and I haven't followed any threads that mentioned it previously...so for us that don't know, you have to tell us about the Hitler bar.

You don't have to go that far. Just pop down to Cheongju where there is a clothing store by the same name.

Laughing This is the kind of post that made you so endearing in the beginning. All you have to do is bring back the old hippie avatar and the world will be as it should be again.

Or everyone up to the barricades of Korean righteousness, so long as the people affected were other Koreans. Homer, you know that I agree with a fair majority of what you post and that the shreiking howls of indignant newbs here is pretty galling.

However, this raises an interesting phenomenon inasmuch as some people in this country are pretty short sighted when it comes to the suffering of others. I would refer you to the controversy surrounding the recent Korean government commission to exhonorate a number of Korean class B and C war criminals. It seems that there is a segment of society here who are pretty oblivious to the suffering of others when those others are non-Korean. If a similar amnesty had been announced in Japan, one would not have to guess too hard at the reaction across the pond here.

Its not even racist, malicous or meant as a slight, this historical myopia. Its built on a national narrative that whatever happens to Koreans is first and foremost of importance. The fact that someone else may have experienced repression, pain and or suffering simply doesn't register on the Korean collective radar.

Naww jags...you know very well what I am refering to here.

This topic comes up regularly and is quickly hijacked or used for the bash of the day....

Fair enough, but I just thought it topical given the recent bruhaha over the war criminals.

There's a nazi themed bar of some description in Uijeongbu as well.
I stumbled across it in the early hours of one morning and caused a bit of trouble. Not sure I can venture back there to get photographic evidence....not for a while anyway.
