Best Places for Nightlife in Seoul

  • 1. Club Octagon

    The most popular nightclub in Seoul & Korea - many famous DJs have played here

  • 2. Club Ellui

    Second most popular nightclub in the Gangnam district

  • 3. Club Cocoon

    Not as great as No. 1 and 2 but still good for a fun night out - the Koreans here go absolutely crazy

I arrived in Seoul on Saturday evening and headed straight to the best nightclub in Korea located in the Gangnam district (from the Gangnam style song) after dropping off my bags in Hongdae.

Club Octagon is currently #12 on the world's best nightclub list by DJMag100. Octagon attracted many famous DJ's over the last year, even Hardstyle DJ Headhunterz which is pretty rare in my opinion.

Octagon has a good balance of girls and guys. It even has an open concept kitchen where you can order top quality dishes until the morning hours.

I had so much fun at Octagon that I forgot to check out Ellui which is another popular club and #39 on the world list.

During the week I checked out bars and clubs in the Hongdae district. Cocoon was one of the better places in Hongdae and is always packed no matter what day of the week primarily with university dudes (sausage alert!).

It is also funny that Hongdae is swamped with a bar chain called Ho-Bar. You can find them all over the district ranging from Ho-Bar 1, Ho-Bar IV till Ho-Bar 10.

I've made a lot of new friends in Seoul and I hope to be able to return to this place again in the near future.
