hi all, i'll be in seoul this coming weekend and am meeting a friend in itaewon around 8ish. however i arrive around 4 so instead of sitting round the hotel i thought i might head on down to itaewon a little earlier and have a few relaxing friday afternoon drinks.

where would be your places of choice? couple of decent drinks, a look at passers-by or even a few nice looking ladies or those finishin work early and having a drink....

recommendations please.


cheers

Gecko's balcony

Gecko's balcony or the rooftop at Nashville. The balcony at Helio's will be quiet then at it's actually a pretty nice place when it's not filled with people grinding on each other

cheers for the response. i know geckos on the corner but the balcony is a different place isn't it? different location?

[asams]

not a different place. they have a balcony at that restaurant.

thanks. where's nashville and what are its charms?

[definitely maybe]

i think seoul pub is a good place to go in the afternoon. the bartenders are always up for a chat and there are some pretty odd characters that wander in and out of there earlier in the day.

Bonji is pretty good too, it's in the back alley behind Hamilton Hotel. The front is open so you can people watch, etc.

good one. thanks. i know seoul pub and it's not bad from what i recall but a bit limiting for people watching. thanks for the tip though. ....bonji huh....sounds kind of fun. people watching in itaewon is the best bet if you can't find a place full of pretty ladies.

and on a casual friday afternoon that might be pushing it a little

go almost anywhere and you'll have fun, if its not for you just leave.

yeah i was thinking about food goodies to delve into but as i'll be going for dinner at 8 i thought i should refrain from that. in the event i weaken, where might Tartine be?

[korian]

ballinseoul you're not wrong there.

but as i'll only have 2-3 hours i don't really wanna be doing the trial and error thing. if i lived in seoul it'd be the thing to do but as it's a one-night-only thing i hope to eliminate shite places here and get some solid recommendations before going

Three Alley Pub is always good for a few pints. It's a little too chilly this time of year to be sitting outside. After you quaff a few, 3 Alley has some great food for good prices as well.

thanks. i live in the south of japan at the moment....still relatively warm here. you reckon seoul is chilly huh?
