Seoul Pub Crawl review: four venues, free drinks, skip-the-line entry, and an easy way to meet people in Hongdae or Itaewon.
“Not worth your money or time at all. It may have been a quieter night for the tour, but even still I can't recommend it. Barely any people attended, those who did it was 99% males, and eventually, everyone left to do their own thing. The tour guide just sat around with her friend on her phone and left everyone by themselves. The free drinks aren't worth it either, they're the weakest, smallest drinks. My advice, find another tour, or plan your own night out.”
Explore Seoul’s back alleys with chef-guide Mike, tasting market food, local dishes, beer, soju, and makgeolli in a small group.
“Mike was an amazing host. The walking isn't too much for an older guy like me. Mike is very passionate about the food he recommends you try. Portions are not too much - you won't be uncomfortable. You can take a bite and leave the rest if you want. Mike knows every stall, every tent, every vendor in the market and has literally tried all their food and compared and contrasted and as a result we get to sample the best. He has a wide ranging historical knowledge of Seoul and the city's food scene. I cannot recommend this tour enough.”
Eat charcoal-grilled pork, aged kimchi, pancakes, and Korean alcohol on a small-group food tour through Seoul’s Mapo district.

Learn Korean drinking games, make somaek and meet fellow night owls in Hongdae with a friendly English-speaking guide, beer, soju and food included.
“We really enjoyed the tour! Our guide Taeseong was great and taught us many fun games. The atmosphere was friendly, and we had a good time with the people we met there. After the tour, our guide also recommended a club, and we all went there together, which was a nice way to end the evening. The only thing we felt could be improved is the duration, two hours felt a bit too short, especially considering the time needed to walk to the restaurant and to wait for late arrivals. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience.”

“Had an absolutely unforgettable night with Seoul Top Crawl in Itaewon. The energy was electric from the very beginning and the entire experience was seamless, wild, and packed with good vibes. Massive credit to our hosts Alexis and Beryll—they were fun, welcoming, and genuinely made the night what it was. They kept the whole group engaged and smiling the entire time, always checking in and making sure everyone felt included. The bar lineup was great, each place had its own character, and the transitions were smooth. Loved the mix of icebreakers, drinking games, and spontaneous dancing that just made the whole crawl feel like one big global party. The people…”
