"Be an Insider at The Outsider" Top 5 Page for this destination Event Bar Tip by jburron

This is a great little spot. The Outsider is a branch of the San Francisco bar (run by the owner's wife) but the one in Yeouido is all Korean. It's not a room salon (girls for hire) but it's more personal than a regular bar, as you normally share a lovely lady with one to two other groups.

It's split up into a Main (long) bar, 3 'A', 'B' and 'C' oval bars (each manned by 2 girls each) and 6 private rooms as well as casino tables (baccarat, blackjack, roulette). The casino isn't real money, though. When you spend 100,000 won (about 80USD) you get a 100,000 won chip and can play all you want. The chips aren't worth anything (they'd need an other license for that) but it makes for some fund when you're there. Some patrons have over 1,000,000 won in won/bought chips.

There are also events and giveaways like: bingo, flaming/juggling, dancing (by the bar girls and pros) and other things...usually at 10PM or 10:30.

The staff are great and many speak English, at least a bit, and some know a little Japanese too.

Dress Code: Most guys have suits on, but you can get away with anything here.
