What kind of clubber are you? Do you enjoy the luxury of Gangnam, the spirit of Hongdae or something entirely different? Whichever you prefer, you can’t go wrong with one of these clubs in Seoul.
Cakeshop
This former strip club is now a great all-round club in Itaewon. The music spans the entire range of club music, drawing a young crowd Thursday to Sunday.
Past Performers: Kode9, Kim Ann Foxman, Nosaj Thing
Faust
There aren’t many rooftop bars in Seoul, so Faust is a precious venue on Fridays and Saturdays. International and local artists perform in a space with superb acoustics and a Kirsch Audio sound system.
Past Performers: Ben Klock, Etapp Kyle, Jeremy Underground
Octagon
The mega club scene is slowly dying down, but Octagon continues to thrive as it carves out a niche for hip-hop in a former EDM club. The weekends are absolutely packed but locals tend to enjoy “Mok-tagon” Thurdsays.
Past Performers: TJR, Daywalker, Aster
vurt.
Every club city needs a grungy techno venue, with Seoul’s being vurt. The underground bunker is located in an alley near Hapjeong station, open just three or four times a month with a balance of high-profile techno DJs and local talent.
Past Performers: Shlomo, Cassegrain, Discreet Circuit
MYSTIK
Simiar to vurt., but a little nicer, MYSTIK has minimalist decor, dark lighting and a beautiful Funktion One sound system pumping out house and techno music.
Past Performers: Helena Hauff, Cleymoore, Kassem Mosse
Brown
This is the wildcard of the bunch, a small, quirky venue that has eclectic taste in music for when you’re tired of the club sound. The doors close at 6 a.m. so Brown is best enjoyed as the last stop of the night.
