J.J. Mahoney's
322 Sowol-ro Yongsan-gu, Seoul
+82 2 799 8601
The Grand Hyatt Seoul is the place to be. Aside from the
breathtaking views of Seoul from all around the hotel, there is a lounge called
J.J. Mahoney’s with 9 sections to provide a room and a drink for every mood.
There’s a dance floor in one room with a DJ playing house music, a tropical bar
with island drinks, a bar for those who want to have fresh sushi, sake and
soju, and a room to shoot pool with a beer. But my calling is for the room with the live music. Each night at
J.J.’s there is a live band performing on the stage behind the bar top. Being
that I travel often on weeknights, this place is a guarantee wild night even on
a Monday. There are people visiting this bar from all over the world, whether
they come for business, holiday, or just locals that want to get dressed up and
dance.
It was a Monday night, and we arrived at 8:30 to find out
the band comes on at 9:30. By this time we are feeling the full effects of jet
lag, being that it is our first full day in Seoul. We worked up the nerve to
keep our eyelids open for another hour as our chins rested on the rim of our
beer glasses. I don’t think either of us expected to make it to 9:30, and we
almost called it a night. But slowly the bar picked up, it got crowded and the
band was introduced.
