Itaewon Goes Irish, Sort Of


As you all know, this past week was St. Patrick's Day, the one time a year everyone is Irish and pretends to like ruby.  This year, we decided to try our luck in Gangnam and Itaewon, both hot spots for foreigners. We thought we would begin our Celtic quest in Gangnam at Dublin Tavern. Only to find out the cover was W50,000 a person and with a 1 p.m. start time, you can imagine the scene we saw.  On that note, we headed to Miller's Pub for some lady drink time with our festive attire and offensively bad Irish accents. 


On to Itaewon to find slightly less "Irish" drunkards. Who would've ever thought you'd hear those words in the same sentence! We went to Gecko's first and made some interesting friends, but decided on a pitt stop to Taco Bell.  After 2 crunchwrap supremes, nachos, and a taco, we followed the sound of English and Irish brawling down an alley to Wolfhounds. A few green beers, flying wigs, and witnessed table dancing later, we were Irished-out for the night. 


 On our way home we met the most interesting people of all. I now know the story behind St. Patrick thanks to a self-proclaimed rapper who also educated us on the "daddy sack". After parting ways with this particular gentleman, we continued to hear about the "daddy sack" the entire ride home thanks to an entertaining co-passenger. 


Oh the things you see on St. Patrick's Day! Don't forget to guard your "daddy sack". Stay tuned...

Peace & Love,
