So I read in an article that Korea has several Nazi-themed bars in it, seemingly patronized by people who don't actually know what a Nazi is. I'm not sure how they could stay in business otherwise.
While I don't subscribe to National Socialism or any other racist ideology, I am interested in World War II and I love crazy bullshit so I want to visit one.
Does anyone know where these places are and which ones are good?

Unfortunately I think they have all closed down. Israel complained. I think last one I recall being open was in 2004.

I'm afraid I can't match John Cleese for physical humour.

Was asked if I wanted to go for a 10th time? I said Nein!

There is no doubt in my mind a Jew would get better service at a Nazi bar than the Korean National Pension Office near Yatap station.

There wasn't Nazis there necessarily. It's just unacceptably ignorant.

In 2009 - 2010 there was one in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia.

Flags and all. Mongolians looking for an identity? Uber Nationalism?

There's still the remnants of one in Gyeongju. The side of the building adorns a tasteful painting of Adolf with a giant Nazi-swastika flag behind him...

Not really the same but aren't there one or more Uncle Tom's Cabins around. I know I've been but can't remember where it was.

I went to an Uncle Tom's Cabin in Apgujeong a few years back. I was disappointed at the lack of blatant racism and the high priced bourbon.
