This bar looks nice inside, has reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff. They are trying to be another Tin Pan, but they should be a sports bar like the one in Itaewon. They should get rid of the DJ booth and put in a flat screen TV to watch sports. Are they trying to cater to foreigners or Koreans or both? Hongdae doesn't need another Tin Pan.

If you like Tin Pan but are sick of not having space to walk around, then Hongdae does need another Tin Pan.

I went there last weekend.

Yeah, you are right about who are they trying to cater to - foreigners or koreans. It is almost entirely ALL white people, no Korean people go in there.

The big difference between TIN PAN and RMT Hongdae, is one has a mix of Korean people in there as well, and one doesn't.
