G-15 Sonnendeck (CLOSED)

Once upon a time, there was a place called Platoon Kunsthalle. For those who were still mourning the demise of the former creative hub, the Platoon team was back last year as Platoon Sonnendeck in the heart of Itaewon. The venue, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a motorized roof and generous grassy areas—albeit artificial—was arguably one of the hippest spots in Seoul last summer. Now with a changed operating team (and the different name, obviously), G-15 Sonnendeck offers a space to properly chill out in the signature beanbags, sipping on cocktails and beer. Unfortunately, while some of its program formats including the flea markets still exist along with the relaxed and calm daytime vibe on the roof, doesn't seem to live up to its promise. I mean, without the eclectic mix of patrons and resident DJ's which put the place on the map in the first place, things can't be the same, you know?
