KMK: OLD STAND European premium Pub

April 18, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye883Leave a Comment on KMK: OLD STAND European premium Pub

Old Stand is a European style pub in the back streets of Itaewon. It’s located in the heart of things across from My Chelsea and next door to Baby Guinness.  If you blink you’ll almost surely miss it, so be sure to keep a keen eye out. You’ll be glad you did because it’s a […]

KMK: Wolfhound

April 16, 2010July 30, 2023 Brian Dye5692 Comments on KMK: Wolfhound

St. Patrick’s Day may have come and gone but that doesn’t mean you can’t kick back and enjoy a Guinness at a good old fashioned Irish pub. Every day of the year you can have a little bit of down home Irish hospitality at The Wolfhound in Itaewon. Inside there’s a no frills attitude. It […]

KMK: DinerLike

April 14, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye569Leave a Comment on KMK: DinerLike

The name could’ve said it all, but it doesn’t. The Diner’s I like don’t serve exorbitantly pricey food. The thing about diners that appeals to people first is the home cooking style of the food.

KMK: Speakeasy at Club TA

April 8, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye632Leave a Comment on KMK: Speakeasy at Club TA

A few Saturdays ago I hit up Club TA in Hongdae. I had never been there before, but a friend clued me in on a musical event being hosted there by the folks of Speakeasy. Live music sounded good to me and since the disastrous St. Patrick’s day event over at the Wolfhound I was keen on […]

KMK: Drag Queens at Trance on Homo Hill

April 6, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye10682 Comments on KMK: Drag Queens at Trance on Homo Hill

We had a simple plan: Go out, Get smashed, Dance, and see some Drag Queens. None of that necessarily had to occur in that exact order. In fact my friend and I pretty much have three out of four of those down pat. It’s the Drag Queen part that often eludes us as, unfortunately, the […]
