Octagon

Club Octagon is among the best places to party in Seoul. It’s also ranked as one of the best nightclubs in Asia with several international awards to its name. The nightclub hosts an impressive line-up of international and Korean DJs spinning electro dance and deep, tech house tunes every weekend.

Prominent international acts such as Vivid, Paul Van Dyk, Fedde Le Grand, Dash Berlin, Jochen Miller, and We Are Loud have all played here. Set within the New Hilltop Hotel, this underground nightclub is a go-to place local celebrities, elites and trendsetters for a night of dancing in Gangnam.

Be prepared to drop some serious cash though, as a night at Octagon doesn’t come cheap (30,000 won). Open until 6 am, this club is the place to go if you’re looking to party your face off. Be warned, as popular as it is, it can get very crowded on weekends!

Consistently beating out some of the best clubs in the world, Octagon is easily the highest ranked club in Asia. There are four bars on two floors, with food and drinks served by world-renowned chefs and bartenders. Be prepared to drop some cash though, because Club Octagon is one of the more expensive club venues in Seoul, but once you’re in the door you’ll see why the place garners such lofty praise.  As usual they have a “dress code,” but in reality that means, “no flip flops, jogging suits, or t-shirts,” so use common sense.
