Euljiro
Hipjiro: hardware shops by day, hidden bars and rooftops by night.
Euljiro is a working district of printers, tile shops, and machine parts that transforms after dark. Behind unmarked doors and up grimy staircases hide some of Seoul's most loved bars and retro cafes, a scene locals nicknamed Hipjiro. Nogari Alley packs crowds onto plastic stools for cheap beer.

An open-air alley of cheap draft beer and dried pollack snacks, packed on warm nights.
Retro cafes
