"At Itaewon Pocha, you’ll drink a bunch of cocktails that taste like they’re equal parts sugar and soju. That might sound reckless, but this neon-lit Korean gastropub in K-Town serves exactly the kind of food you need to soak up a ton of booze. Get some kimchi dumplings smothered in a cream sauce, an order of cheesy rice cakes mixed with a ton of seafood, and don’t skip the bulgogi fries. It's open until 4am on weekends and 2am on other days—bring a few friends after 10pm for the full experience, and try not to fall off your little plastic stool." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah
