This is my ultimate Seoul Nightlife Guide featuring the best 30 bars, rooftop patios, speakeasies, date spots, cocktail lounges and nightclubs which I carefully selected during a 1-month stay. Seoul's nightlife is a dazzling array of experiences, each district offering its own unique flavor.
Seoul's best nightlife districts are Hongdae , Itaewon , and Gangnam , alongside lesser-known gems like Myeongdong , Euljiro , and Apgujeong. This guide delves into the best rooftop patios, speakeasies, bars, pub crawls, music festivals, nightclubs, and more, ensuring visitors can fully immerse themselves in Seoul's nocturnal offerings.

I highly recommend you join the Seoul Pub Crawl by Absolute so you can familiarize yourself with the nightlife and current clubs. Seoul's Pub Crawl often kicks off here for some warm-up video games from a wide variety of classic consoles, like Dreamcast and PlayStation.
Popular among young international students, and local Koreans wanting to mingle with foreigners. One of the popular stops on the Seoul Pub Crawl in Hongdae, this place has a wild crowd and a really fun party atmosphere.
A great place to mingle and make new local friends. A fun laid-back party bar with music ranging from K-pop to retro 80s. Hongdae is a magnet for the young and the artistic, brimming with energetic bars, clubs, and street performances.
