 |
|
Hi all. I am starting my thrid year in Korea but this time in Sinchon. I like the area a lot so far, even though I am about 15 mintues from the damn subway station, but I have yet to meet any friends localy. There are a lot of foreigners walking around but I suspect them to be summer students only. Are there any bars out in Sincho esspecially for foreigners? Where are they?
Anyone live in Sinchon and need a drinking buddy? I get off work around 7pm and am usually ready to have a pint and think about something else besides work. I am a pretty interesting guy myself. I just moved back to Korea after taking 5 months off to cycle across Asia. I rode my bike from Beijing to New Delhi. You can read about that here: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/thecyclingvagabond
Anyone interested in languages, music, culture, history, anthropology, traveling, ect.. hit me up on my PM and I'll buy the first round! |

Yes! Best pizza in Korea IMO and they've got the Lost Coast IPA and the Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout. Here's their facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=18441426848
Also, isn't Mike's Cabin in Sinchon? I haven't been there in a couple of years but it was a cool place. |

Oh yeah, Mike's Cabin as well. I've only really been there once, sadly.
Good luck finding these places, I know how to find them but have no idea how to explain. I'm sure you could just ask people on the street or something.

At the bar I totally agree. But the Gyungnidan place...must be something to do with their pans. I've gotten their 'za to go several times and it's not quite there for some reason.  |

is barfly any good?
head out of exit 2 and take the first right before the big hyundai department store.... keep walking down that road til you pass the uplex on the right. you should be at a t-junction, walk staight across (no zebra crossing) and keep walking til about the 3rd left. it'll be 50 yards down that street on the left.
(if that makes any sense) |

i've never been to watts on tap but i know it's on the same strip walking down to beer o clock (before you turn left).
is it still open? i'm sure i read that it had closed last year.
to the op - there is also ipub (former king's tap) near choi's tacos. it's not a foreigner bar per se but has table football, darts, shuffleboard. always a few foreigners in there |

In case you dont know, Sincheon is not Sinchon. Shin-chun / Shin-chone. Different districts. |
