Me and my Hongdae friends became avid party animals about five years ago. We probably went to almost every electronic music party in Seoul. It was fun and all until we vaguely started to realize in the wee hours that we won't be forever young and that when we reach a certain age, we will have to find some other amusement, spice of life. So we started taking pictures in hopes of capturing the moments of excitement, to visually record them and share them.
Here are pictures of me and my friends taking or being taken photos of and by each other.

Seoul travel guide_Cocktail in a zip lock bag

It's one of the smallest bars in Seoul but the most unique and cozy. Cocktails are sold in ziplock bags. It's run by three sisters and is a must-visit.

It's one of the smallest bars in Seoul but the most unique and cozy.
Cocktails are sold in ziplock bags. It's run by three sisters and is a must-visit.
The sisters designed and made the interior themselves so everything you see inside the bar, from cushions to drawings, are all handcrafted items.

I was first drawn to the music and made my way towards the place about four years ago. It was only days after it first opened. From then on, I became a regular. Vinyl has the best music selection in Hongdae and it's a very fun place to be on Haloween, bar's anniversary and so on. Hongdae's underground DJ's play music on many occasions. The place goes crazy and fun on those days. It's a mini sized bar so you can't help but bump into other customers so in a way, it's a great place to make friends and meet the craziest and artistic people.

Beers and cocktails are sold at moderate price range.
KRW 2,000 ~ 6,000

I suggest you try the lime beer. It's a sour, bitter tasting beer.

You can walk from the Hongik University Subway Station but it's closer to Sangsu Station(line number 6). From Sangsu Station, exit no. 1 and walk straight down until you see it on your left.

Address: 411-1 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul (T_02 322 4161)




The zip-locked cocktails.




Also have house wine and vin chaud.




The exterior.




Event, concert, party posters.




Cute little chairs and tables, most of them handcrafted.




I think it was the bar's second anniversary party.

I'm posting pictures taken at Hongdae Halloween parties at clubs and streets. Me and my friends decided to dress up as the characters we have secret crushes or fetishes for. Our friends dressed up as Lou Reed, the sexy vampire cop, Mario as in Nintento's Mario Bros., the Queen of England (yes, it's strange!), gay tinkerbell, geisha, smurf, Count Dracula(Gary Oldman version) and so on.

I'll be posting more about events and places in Hongdae.
Stay tuned!
