"Itaewon Pocha is modeled after typical bars in Seoul, and while drinking cocktails that taste like they’re equal parts sugar and soju may sound reckless, this neon-lit gastropub serves exactly the kind of Korean comfort food you need to soak up a ton of booze. Get an order of cheesy rice cakes mixed with lots of seafood—and don’t skip the bulgogi fries. This is a late-night place, so come after 10pm for the full experience, and try not to fall off your little plastic stool." - kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, neha talreja, nikko duren, hannah albertine
