Pearl Jam

Edit This

Pearl Jam is a great live rock bar with a Korean owner who speaks passable English. Most of the staff also have a fairly good level of English, and the bar itself caters to many of the foreigners in Cheongju.

Along with its sister bar, The Attic, Pearl Jam offers all-you-can-drink specials on Friday and Saturday nights for 17,000 won for men and 9,000 won for women. They also have a selection of foreign bottled beers.

Since Korea's a country with no time for addresses, if you're in Cheongju, ask a taxi to take you to Chungdae Joong Moon and get out at the HI24 more..

Attic Bar

Edit This

Sister bar to Pearl Jam, Attic is bar with more of a "tiny club" feel to it. There's a small dance floor and a pool table, and it has a balcony, making it a favourite summer hangout for the foreigner community in Cheongju. It offers the same all-you-can-drink deal on Fri/Sat as Pearl Jam (17,000 for men, 9,000 for women) and it also serves food.

To get there, take a taxi to Chungdae Joong Moon and hop out at the HI24 convenience store (you'll know it from the huge patio). Walk past it, take your second right and Attic Bar will be on your right on the 3rd floor, about two more..

Hunter's Tavern

Edit This

Hunter's is a big bar on the 2nd floor right in the downtown core of Cheongju. It's got a pool table, a big screen TV with a playstation and loads of space to sit if you don't fancy a sit at the giant bar. They have all manner of cocktails, and their bar staff puts on a nightly cocktail show on the weekends. Be sure to order your drinks before the show starts, though.

To get to Hunter's take a taxi to Shinae (downtown) YMCA and keep your eyes peeled. It's just up the street from the Y, and the two are separated by a large-ish park.
