“It's a central nice bar, fairly crowded and mixed. The bartender is very welcoming and speaks fluent English and is very helpful. The crowd is mixed between locals and foreigners and can find all ages. The bartender told me that they organize public events on the weekends like exhibitions or shows, worthy to checkout if you happen to be in the area!“
“For a lot of travellers Seoul can seem a challenge when it comes to the gay scene. However, the recent opening of Maniac is a welcome addition. The bar is located on the second floor of the building so make sure to look up so that you see the signage. Its small and cosy, with great music and a very welcoming and friendly feel. The owner is friendly and helpful and fluent in English and makes sure that your evening is a pleasant one.“
