1.Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 903 reviews · 4h 30m · from $25Our pick

Join English- or Korean-speaking hosts for a 4.5-hour Seoul night out in Hongdae or Itaewon. Visit three bars or clubs plus a final dance venue, collect four or more free shots, and meet solo visitors and locals. Bring physical ID and dress for the clubs, not the gym.

“Wow, what an experience! I agree that the experience largely depends on the group of people you meet that day, but from the organizer’s point of view, they did an excellent job. They selected the best pubs with great drinks and amazing vibes. We visited four pubs, and none of them were dead — each one was lively and full of energy! Full marks for both the pub selection and for managing such a large crowd so well. Highly recommended if you’re looking to party in the city!”
