A NOTE FROM JO PIGGY
A little curiosity.
A very big appetite.
Hi, I’m JO PIGGY. Think of Pig Out Korea as a friend who enjoys reading the reviews almost as much as you enjoy planning the next meal.
We bring together Korean food stories, neighborhood discoveries, and local reviewers’ perspectives for travelers with an appetite for more.
Our archive is built from research and linked sources. We don’t pretend we’ve eaten every meal ourselves. We help you find the places you’d like to try.

bravora2026@gmail.comSeoul Itaewon & Haebangchon: Top 3 Bars & Pubs
FRIDAY · REVIEW-BASED SHORTLIST
Hi, I’m JO PIGGY. Itaewon and Haebangchon are good at turning 'one drink' into a whole evening.
This shortlist offers a relaxed garden-style table, cocktail-focused bar, and a view that makes you pause before the first sip.
Read the linked Korean posts for the actual orders; a few are about food or ambience more than drinking.
Three places to consider
1. Côté Jardin
A greenery-filled setting for food, drinks and an unhurried conversation. Some linked visits are daytime meals, so check evening service before planning your night.

3. Sunset Mood
Wine and food with a Namsan-facing view. The stairs, lighting and possible minimum order are worth knowing before you climb.

One last bite
For dinner with a glass, try Côté Jardin; for cocktails, Carlos; for a sunset and wine, Sunset Mood. The only difficult decision is when to call it a night.
Review-based shortlist, not first-hand visits or a nightlife ranking. One linked review is promotional, and some posts focus on brunch or ambience. Check drink minimums, hours and access before going.
