For live jazz in Itaewon, this is the place. Some piano starts off in the evenings, followed by jazz bands to hot things up. Occasionally GIs from the nearby US base come up for a jam. Food is also served.

This is unique. A basement wine bar in the pretty district of Samcheong-dong, it offers a European ambience with its low ceiling, candles and relaxing decor. A fresh spring trickles into a pool over the raw rock face that forms the back wall. Some nights a guitarist adds to the atmosphere.

One of the most popular live music clubs in Hongik’s clubland, Drug is particularly famous for its punk acts, the kind of thing that never makes it onto the ultra-bland music programming on Korean TV. Anyone over 25 will feel like a great-grandparent.

The most relaxing spot in Itaewon. Set in a huge, converted villa and spread over multiple levels, Gecko’s Garden consists of a restaurant, two bars, courtyards and balconies, all with a Mediterranean feel. A great place for a glass of wine, a cocktail or a beer. Tapas is served and there are lunch barbecues on Sundays in summer.
