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. It fills up, 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 is in the app: why each stop, in what order, and how long between them, 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.
