You'll learn the real rules locals use at the table: quick, funny drinking games, plus the etiquette behind them, like two-handed pours, who pours for whom, how to toast, and how to show respect to elders. Your host leads you into real neighborhood pubs and pairs drinks with market snacks for a night you won't find in a guidebook. Non-drinkers are fully included with easy swaps. The point is laughter and connection, not overdrinking. Clear subway directions, small groups, and transparent inclusions keep the night smooth, with no staged performances. You leave with phrases, gestures, and pairings you can reuse for the rest of your trip. Good for friends, couples, and team outings looking for a real night out rather than a staged one.

Like an evening with a local friend
Our evening with Jeff was a highlight of our trip to Korea. It was not just a drinking tour. It was like going out with a local friend in a new city. We learned a lot about Korea and Jeff’s enthusiasm for his country and for helping us learn about it was infectious. We wanted an experience and he more than delivered. Jeff tailored the evening to our interests. We were able to try foods that we hadn’t yet experienced and probably wouldn’t without a local friend. The games were fun and easy to learn and ones we will take with us. The food was amazing (and plentiful). The memories are invaluable. Thank you Jeff
Response from the operator: Thanks, Amy. “Like an evening with a local friend” is about the best description we could ask for. Jeff is great at reading the group and letting the night evolve around their interests, and it sounds like he found the right mix of food, games, and conversation for you.

Incredible evening of eating, drinking and engaging conservation!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Jeff, who not only guided us through a proper Korean BBQ experience and taught us several fun drinking games but also engaged in thoughtful and dynamic conversation with us about Korean culture. A highlight of our time in Korea!
Response from the operator: The conversation is really as much a part of the night as the BBQ and the games, glad Jeff brought all three. Good to hear it stood out even against everything else you did in Korea.

Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.
Is Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seoul?
+
On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seoul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seoul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ?
+
Included: Snacks; Dinner; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ?
+
Meet outside Sinnonhyeon Station, exit 3. Surface level. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ offered in?
+
It is offered in Korean and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Seoul Gangnam Pub Crawl: Korean Drinking Games & BBQ?
+
