The Bulldog Pub

Itaewon’s salsa scene has been around for more than a decade. For most of that time, Club Caliente was the spot to go. A change in ownership led to their doors closing, leaving the faithful dance crowd in the lurch. Several others have come and gone to fill the void; but the Bulldog Pub has been the most successful, winning over the old dance crowd and bringing in their fair share of new people. Most days, it’s just a pub, but on Friday and Saturday nights, it’s salsa night. The dance crowd here is probably the most laid back of all the clubs in Seoul with a good mix of both foreign and Korean patrons. Some come to watch and others to dance, but all are welcome. If you are brand new to the salsa scene, this is the least intimidating of the salsa clubs to check out.
