Things to expect in Korean entertainment bars
Noraebang – this is what Korean entertainment bars are called. These bars often refer to a booking club or a Karaoke room. If you plan to try one, you would realize how different it would be from the usual bars. The night life would be different, the music and even the social interaction from the crown present is totally different for what bars are defined.
What makes these Korean Bars different?
There are a lot of factors that contribute to making these bars different. Below are some of the main reasons:
- Ambiance
- Services
- Drinks
- Food
- Social Interaction
Ambiance
What makes the ambiance or the atmosphere different? In Korean bars, the environment is totally different. You would see a very energetic, vibrant, colorful and positive background as well as people. People dress differently and colorfully making the environment livelier. The music is very loud in the common areas while very intimate in the private rooms these bars have. Usually for private rooms, you would be seeing seats, lights and karaoke machines that one could have fun with.
Services
Next thing that makes these bars different is the services the bars could offer. Karaoke is usually the most sought service in these bars. There are patrons who usually sing their hearts out with a machine that includes Korean and mixed-race songs from around the world. There is also a wait service that would basically just wait on your next request and lastly, hostesses
Food
Food is one of the reasons that makes these bars unique. There are a variety of Korean dishes and an extensive drink menu. Who would forget about soju? The most common and known Korean drink mixed with the best spirits in town
Social Interaction
Last but not the least, we have differences in social interaction. Usually, bars have their own mantra based on the social dynamic they are in. There are bars that embrace the socialites and the elites only dividing other bars that accept commoners. There are also bars where most foreign visitors or tourists go to and there are bars meant for the locals. It sounds weird but this is normal for these Korean bars. They look at social status very differently from the Western culture which makes it even more interesting. Of course, these bars and clubs are booked usually for social events so we can never fogen the competition and the drinking games.
