I mean..

Wolfhound Pub does 2 for 1 Fish n Chips
3 Alley Pub and RMT do wings for 250won each and
Hollywood Grill does a New York Steak for 13.500

Why all the Tuesday specials at Itaewon pubs?

Tomorrow I wont but I could go to 3 Alley for some wings then head over to Wolfhound for some Fish n Chips and then end my night at Hollywood with a New York Steak and still spend less than 40,000 won including beers.

Surprised Exclamation








Wolfhound still doing the 2-for-1 F&C? Thought that was June and June only. That's what the ad I saw said. In fact, one time when we were paying our bill, the cashier chick scampered over to check the calendar just to verify that we were still in June.

Would be handsome of the management to make this a permanent fixture, like wing nite at 3AP.

Uh oh. We were supposed to give them coupons?

Nahhh, the 'Hound does a decent fish & chips. At least every time we've been there it was alright, and definitely superior to most other place's attempts at it. Personally, I'd say even when it's utterly mediocre, the Wolfhound's fish & chips still rank above 75% of Korean-style fish dishes done to perfection. Of course that's entirely due to the inferior "mouthful-o'-bones" species of fish Koreans use, and in no way diminishes the country's vertiginous economic development and the all-around sparkling character of her people.

Tuesdays are known to be the slowest revenue day for the entertainment / service industry. It's the same reason they introduced $2.50 Tuesdays at movie chains in the 80's in Canada.

is this the guru convention? Don't most bar/ restaurants in the west have midweek specials, poor student nights, wing nights, etc? They've gotta do something to draw in enough people to break even during the week.

RMT's Wing Night is double the price of 3 Alley at 500 won a wing.

Actually, RMT lowered their prices recently. The great wing war is on, babies.

Pretty much-even in Ottawa Tuesday night is the slow night-and that's with the fat cat union government drunkards!

I've been told Hollywood is the best place for steak in Itaewon.
