Why LIFE fits the night
A relaxed first chapter in HBC.
LIFE suits the start of a Haebangchon night: small enough for conversation, distinctive enough to set the mood, and close to the independent venues that give HBC its character.
Its official Instagram describes a tequila bar and cafe with a varied tequila selection. The venue also says it is pet and child friendly, reflecting its neighbourhood feel outside late-night event hours.
Community feel
Conversation, DJs and event-led evenings give the room a flexible local character.
Route-friendly
LIFE can open selected SNL Haebangchon nights before the group moves deeper into HBC.
