It's in Itaewon, at the top of Hooker's Hill. Make your way to Gecko's and then ask for directions.

I've never gone there. I've heard it's sleazy. If it's on top of the "hill" I'm sure it is trashy. Why do so many foreigners only hang in Itaewon? Foreigners can't say much about Koreans taking ramyon with them on trips. Many foreigners have to have their Itaewon or it's boo-hoo. I'm not refering to you, Amber, just many foreigners in general. They must go to Itaewon. Amber, I think you can do much better than Polly's Crapple, I mean Kettle. I prefer Apgu/Shinsa/Cheiongdam/Gangnam myself.

Amber, don't go without back-up. Wear padding to make the groping easier to tolerate. It's like being a plump gazelle on the freakin' Serengheti... you literally get circled by predators licking their lips. Just don't....

I don't know...I think it's kind of funny to go for the sleaze factor alone. Just don't go alone, bring some burly dudes with you or you will promptly get molested with a vengeance.

This is true. You will be like a juicy steak put before a room full of crash dieters, and you'll watch them drooling and slavering the moment you step in the place. I always went in a group. The music could be good though, and there's plenty of room to dance.

Skank Heaven. All races served. Up.





Honestly it's pretty tame, all things considered, Amber. Slimmer chances of getting mugged, knifed or raped in/around Polly's than strolling alone down the street in your average norteamericano city after dark, I should imagine. But I suppose the seediness is offensive to the tender sensibilities of your average Women Studies grad. Much as it is to my own.

Handy Advice: Don't you dare go sober or before midnight, but also be sure to go with a dude friend of impeccable character and decent knife-fighting prowess.

Factoid: My one & only physical scar received after humpty-dump years in Korea was inflicted at Polly's. Thus it remains a place near and dear to my heart. And right shin.

That's what you thought I meant? Confused No, I didn't mean to imply that.

Jesus Girls stop over exagerating. Ya, sure there are sleazy men there, but they don't grope and drool unless they are invited. You hoochies probably make oogly eyes at the poor guys and the think you are keen. Get over yourselves.

Polly's offers a good time, always has, not so much as it did years ago, but still fun for an interesting night out.

Go after 11 pm at the very very earliest.

Good one Adolf. Many times iv'e been there it seems to be the chicks being predators, specifically chunky white ones. Many of the nigerian boys seem to go for the more rotund lady for some strange reason, good for them though, fat chicks need loving too i guess. Anyone see that older, tubby,alcoholic canadian lady who is always round itaewon with a pool cue, up there? last time i saw her, she was engaged to a 19 year old nigerian dude. she would be pushing early 40's, i had to laugh.

Polly's is the bar you go to when you're already as drunk as a boiled owl.
You're beyond tasting the soju in those kettles anyways.

I love Polly's Kettle but yes you do have to be quite sloshed to appreciate it fully.
Don't go early or sober. Late and drunk is the best way.

I'll be on on the Hill Saturday for a friend's birthday, and since everyone was shocked that I've never been to Polly's I'll go with you. Then we can bail somewhere safer after we've seen what all the fuss is about.
