a Friday, early evening to late
Itaewon is a night, not a day — and a going-out night at that. I'd come on a Friday around five or six, while it's still light: shop first, eat up in Haebangchon, then walk the hill as the sun goes and let the bars have the rest. Friday or Saturday, though — the clubs don't open midweek.
One person's route, in the order I'd walk it. No photos, no rankings.
Open this walk in the appBrowse, but don't buy tonight — there's too much good here to choose well.
Fill up here — the food's the point, not the drink. Small room, so book if you can.
One more, with the records on — the pudding is not optional. A DM ahead helps.
The rest of the route — why each stop, in what order, and how long between them — is in the app, along with what to order at every one.
End on the techno at Faust and go home whenever it lets you — and if no taxi comes, the night buses from Itaewon station are the better wait.
