Well, Saturday, August 19th is the 10th anniversary of my arrival in Korea. (Where the hell does the time go?) Anyone interested in joining me for a drink or more is welcome. I'm planning on being at SHOOTERS AND CO CK BAR & GRILL at about 9pm. All are welcome. Please post if you are coming so I know who to look for. Might be meeting a few friends for galbi before going to the bar.


TigerBeer(my bad Embarassed ) posted this once before about the place

Quote:
Pints of Guinness for 6,900 (had one tonight - delicious!). Regular cheapo bottles of beer are 2,300 won.. thats Cass, Hite, OB, whatever else. (Of course many other beer/drinks are available too).

It has an OUTDOOR Patio that goes in and out of the regular bar.. there is also a long bar.. and tables inside and out. In addition, there is a bar upstairs (ice bar setup) but with the same menu.. so that means additional space if its too crowded for some reason. In addition, there is a downstair bar (which I didn't check out).. but will assume its basically just more space if things spill out too much.

Okay.. best yet.. its SUPER EASY to find. Basically get out of Hongik Station (green line).. and EXIT #6. (KFC is right there too I believe).

As soon as you exit you'll see an alley with tents and such.. you'll see Lemon PC, Coffee Bean, Coffee Brown.. they are lined up on the right side of that alley. Just go directly down that alley to you see buildings where you can't go any further. That will be KTF (phone shop) which is directly straight ahead.. you'll also see a SK Telecom right there. Once you are between those two phone shops.. you'll look down that alley to the right.. and *BAM* you'll see SHOOTERS & COCKS in gold letters on a yellow building. There is even a video machine for card games in there (I got the top 6 'Gin Rummy' scores now while I was drinking my Guinness - oh yeah!).

Even best of all.. if people are hungry.. once you go Shooters & *beep*.. you can continue to the next corner street and take a right and there is Margaritas Mexican food with fajitas, burritos, and enchiladas - ideal for those who didn't get a chance to eat or want to get away for a few to get something to eat.

I'll see what I can work out. Might be late/dragging people along/too inebriated to crawl in a taxi by that stage.

What time's dinner? I'm doing a cookout for a few people at 2 or so followed by lots of booze.

edit: Oh and I think I can get Jager from the little black market shops in Shinchon. Haven't checked thoroughly yet. I'll try to bring a bottle of something as well.
