First, Felicia and Vickie came over for a week and I got to meet up with them a couple of times. So to start, I took them to Rainbow for some hookah. Friday nights at Rainbow are crazy packed so it was kinda crowded. And apparently that's techno/electronic night so this DJ was spinning some trance and dance music. People were goin crazy, getting up and dancing in the middle of the floor (which was already crowded with people smoking). But somehow the vibe was still pretty mellow.
Afterward, I took them over to this bar I like in Gangnam called Vudu. Most bars in Korea seem more like restaurants. There's tables and booths, no dancing, and while you can order drinks, you HAVE to order food first. But Vudu is more like a bar in the States. There's loud music, a small dance floor, cheap drinks, shots and beer, all that stuff. But the best thing about Vudu is the bartender.
So, this is LJ. She pours most of the drinks at Vudu and she's one of the coolest people you'll meet. It's always cool when you can go to a bar and make friends with the bartender. There's also usually a pretty interesting crowd here too. You get some military guys, some English teachers, a couple of Koreans, but mostly your regular drunk foreigners.
Since it was their first night in Seoul, Felicia and I decided to explore the shot list. The thing that made this so much fun is that LJ gets really creative with the shots. For instance, "The Brainhammer" which if you look at it, resembles a preserved brain in a jar (shot glass).
It's also pretty chunky, with a bit of Bailey's in the mix, so LJ recommends you chew. It was pretty weird. But I think our favorite was "The Blue Skies". Now I can't really tell you what's in any of these shots, except I know LJ likes to slip a bit of Bacardi 151 into the shot for a little extra knock. But you can see from this one that the shot has a bit of blue liquor with some small clouds of Bailey's.
See? Blue Skies...
So, it was a good night. But I don't think either of us wanna see that shot list any time soon.
Shout out to Felicia and Vickie for hangin with me. And be on the look out for more post of my nights out.
Cheers
