Itaewon’s gay bar area sits in Yongsan-gu, within walking distance from Itaewon Station. Bars line a sloped main alley and its side streets, ranging from relaxed chat bars to small dance spots. Peak hours are typically Fri–Sat 22:30–02:00. Many visitors bar-hop or sip drinks outdoors. For first-timers, stroll the main strip once before picking a venue. Overall safety is good—just watch your belongings and pace your drinks when it gets crowded.
