2.LGBTQ+ Pub Crawl and Drag Show with Local Drag Queen

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8 reviews · 5 hours · from $41Best value

Meet your local drag queen host at Life in Haebangchon for a five-hour LGBTQ+ night out. Visit Social Haven, Rabbithole Arcade Pub, and other selected bars, with three complimentary drinks, skip-the-line access, and a drag performance when scheduled. Guides speak English, Japanese, Korean, French, and Chinese.

“Unfortunately the tour did not have any other participants the night we were scheduled so the organizer kindly gave us the option to do a different tour with more participants instead, which we chose. The hosts, Celeste and Andrea, were super friendly and fun, and the bars they had picked out were a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We hope to come back and try the LGBTQ+ crawl. Neither my friend nor I are LGBTQ, but we were really looking forward to checking out the scene with a local drag queen and comparing gay bars in Seoul to the ones back home. It’s a good excuse to come…”
