[For those who are visiting here for the first time] Very old, very classical Korean-style LP bar. If you'd like to enjoy the music and take a bunch of photos in calm mood, visiting on mon-thu would be best for you. BUT IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THIS PLACE IS SO FAMOUS, you should visit here Friday or Saturday night. IF YOU ARE LUCKY, you can see people from different generations(20s-60s) come here, grab a beer, talk to strangers, sing and dance together in enchanted vibes, which is very uncommon in Korean culture. You cannot even stand up because it's so crowded, everyone is crazy moving their body with the rhythm. Usually gets active after 10pm. Still the vibe is very dependent on the mood of the DJ: very hysterical old man, usually with grumpy face, but becomes the best DJ in the world when he decides to. You should try menu "Mo-deum-po", which is very casual, very old-fashioned korean snack with dried squid, seaweed, and nuts. Nothing special but goes well with the Cass draft beer. In case you're vegetarian, you can order "Seasonal Fruits" as well.

Great bar! A bit smelly but that only adds to the atmosphere. It tells you this is a great student bar. Would come here again!

Paid another visit recently and I changed the rating. Honestly the music was quite out-there, rather than some good and old tunes like last time i went there. Also the bar was too stinky to bear and stay... pity.. Korean old music bar playing 70-80's music. Sometimes people singing and dancing, you can also request a song to the DJ.
