2.The Seoul Pub Crawl Official

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 838 reviews · from $21Top rated

Join a four-hour Seoul night out with a local party captain and an international group. You get four drink coupons, entry to three bars and one club, line-skipping access, and drink discounts. Friday routes use Hongdae and Itaewon venues; Saturday routes follow a different pair of neighborhoods.

“Not worth your money or time at all. It may have been a quieter night for the tour, but even still I can't recommend it. Barely any people attended, those who did it was 99% males, and eventually, everyone left to do their own thing. The tour guide just sat around with her friend on her phone and left everyone by themselves. The free drinks aren't worth it either, they're the weakest, smallest drinks. My advice, find another tour, or plan your own night out.”

“Had an absolutely unforgettable night with Seoul Top Crawl in Itaewon. The energy was electric from the very beginning and the entire experience was seamless, wild, and packed with good vibes. Massive credit to our hosts Alexis and Beryll—they were fun, welcoming, and genuinely made the night what it was. They kept the whole group engaged and smiling the entire time, always checking in and making sure everyone felt included. The bar lineup was great, each place had its own character, and the transitions were smooth. Loved the mix of icebreakers, drinking games, and spontaneous dancing that just made the whole crawl feel like one big global party. The people…”
