I'm a big fan of gin & tonics, as well as tequila shots- and the lemons just aren't doing it for me. Besides the occasional club, I've been pretty unlucky in my search of limes in Seoul. Has anyone happened to stumble across any lime-serving bars here??

B1 in Itaewon is always fully stocked with fresh limes...and mint as well if you're in the mood for a mojito.

B1 is a lounge/club in Itaewon next to the Hamilton Hotel. Great house music and a great Saturday crowd. Don't think they sell limes though. Sad

Limes are expensive in this country. When I went to On the Border, my friend who worked there pointed at the slice of lime on my plate and said "That's worth 50 cents."

I didn't get a lime, not even with my margarita! I did however get a lime with a strawberry margarita at Gecko's Garden once during the summer. Don't know if that's a common thing or if I just got lucky.

I'm pretty sure they have limes at the Hannam Supermarket or Dandy's near the entrance of the supermarket.

I've seen limes at Yeoksam Emart. Not sure if they have them at other branches. When you walk into the fruit/vege section they are on the right hand side against the wall near the fruit gift baskets. They also have packs of 4 NZ avocados for around 4500 won. I think the limes were around the same price - about 1000 won each.
