Does anyone know where there is a hooka or sheesha bar in Seoul? My friend is craving a good smoke...

There are lots. The best I know of is called 'Rainbow' and it's in Gangnam. It's a chilled-out sit on the floor place that's popular with foreigners.

I can think of three in pretty close proximity in the hongdae area. One is called Oi near the park, it's like an igloo, big white thing. Then there are two down the road opposite FF/gogos, b12 or something? One is like a casbah, the other is more of a Moroccon style cave.

Shisha aint my thing, but the atmosphere is chilled so they make nice warm up bars.

Gr8 in Hongdae (above Ska) is my favorite and they have the most flavors (41 or more). Oi is also great for atmosphere, so is Nabi. I don't go to Bricxxx anymore after 2 separate incidents, one of food poisoning and one of staff that so crappy and rude, we walked out.

Bricxxx in Itaewon is ok, but since they converted it into a "dance club," it has lost its mojo.

Awesome, thanks! I'm surprised this even got posted - I literally waited for 5 minutes and nothing was happening, then my whole browser crashed! Too many teachers on lunch break at the same time. Wink
