Name some of your favourite Hofs in Seoul. Not western type bars/pubs like Gecko's but just the regular run of the mill Hof-type places that you've sunk a beer or two in. Why do you like them? I've already been to a few in and around shinchon/myeong-dong but couldn't tell you their names since I don't remember, but at one little place I got to choose two little snacks to go with every beer that I ordered. Now that was nice.

Free Crocodiles in Shinchon makes their own beer, some of it dark and quite tastilcious. No free crocs tho. (But you can sign a petition there to free all the crocs.)

There;s another groovy little hole in the wall (actually under the floor), if you head up from Shinchon towards Ehwa. But I can't remember the name or where it is, but if you ask The Beaver he'll tell you.

I don't know if it's still there, but also in Shinchon around the Blue Monkey area there is/was a place called The Cure, and yup, the owner is a Cure fan and has lotsa great unreleased songs by them, plus videos. Also lots of other great tunes from that era. (he spent a lot of time in London)

Cheers! and support your local bar owners!

Nope, sadly not. Your place in Hongdae sounds pretty cool though. Could you give me specific directions how to get there?
