The 5 Best Clubs in Seoul

Club Q-vo

The clubs in Seoul don't get more fun than this self-proclaimed hip hop club, where Korean and international DJs spin beats, and MCs throw down in the occasional rap battle. Q-vo, named after the slang for “shouting,” is all loud neon lights and thumping beats, the perfect place for a rowdy Saturday night. Don't miss their events, held every month, which have included themes like a masked Neon Night and a killer Halloween costume party. A hot spot for foreigners at clubs in Seoul, you'll have fun on at least one of the two dance floors at Q-vo.

Club Heaven

One of the hottest clubs in Seoul also sounds like the most innocent, but don't let the name fool you: this electronic club has quickly become a popular ticket in the city since its opening in February 2010. Hosting big names in the international electronic scene, this club is known as much for its high-quality music and awesome laser shows as its exclusivity, housing one of the biggest VIP lounges in Seoul. Ditch the jeans, because you'll want to dress to impress at this otherworldly club.

Club Cocoon

Aptly named for its immersive atmosphere, Club Cocoon is one of the most progressive clubs in Seoul, and has one of the biggest dance floors in the area. House DJs spin a mix of hip hop, pop and R&B, so you'll have no problem finding your groove with everyone else on the floor. Drinks are extremely reasonable, especially if you come during one of several Ladies' Nights or any other number of promotional nights, such as their sexy, crowd-pleasing bikini parties. Designed to get you out of your cocoon, you will definitely let loose at this liberating nightclub.

Club Eden

Boasting the biggest dance floor of any club in Seoul is not something Club Eden takes lightly. Easily one of the most elegant clubs in Seoul, Eden throws around chandeliers and hardwood floors like it has money to spare, and if you're partying here, you probably do, too. A place to flaunt it if you got it, you'll want to wear your classiest attire to Eden, but don't forget that suits are just as good for dancing as jeans—because this club hosts some of the best electronic musicians around, and you'll definitely want to get down.

Club Answer

This list has saved the best for last, because of all the clubs in Seoul, Club Answer is considered by Seoulites to be the answer to the question of what to do with your night. Jam to electro-house music from world-renowned DJs on the marble dance floor at this club that is part opulent mansion, part bumping bass. Or sit in the second-level VIP area that overlooks the rest of the club, where you can expect to see and be seen. With its state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, its enticing atmosphere and varied crowd, this is the Answer you've been waiting for.
