A place where music and drinks come together perfectly—highly recommend...

Great mix of music from disco, r&b, old school hip hop, and some techno (at times), this is my favorite place to go in Itaewon.

Drinks are good, though a little pricey, and they do have bar snacks, but I haven't personally tried any.
