NIGHT FLOW
Four steps that reduce guesswork
- 1Choose one cluster—a station exit, a specific building or a single street—and a public meeting point. Gangnam venues stack vertically, so an address is not yet a location.
- 2Check tonight's hours, minimum spend, ID, reservation and table policy on the venue's own channel. Gangnam charges are set per venue, not per district.
- 3Set your leave time against the last Line 2 or Sinbundang train. Around Gangnam Station the taxi queue is heaviest at exactly that hour.
- 4Record the building and floor you actually visited in Footprints. That is the detail the next traveller cannot get from a map.
SAFETY & RETURN
Share landmarks, not your room
- Never leave a drink unattended or accept an opened drink from a stranger. Do not drive after drinking.
- Share only a public meeting point. Keep your accommodation address and live room details private.
- Use a licensed taxi, confirm the plate in the app and use 112 for an immediate police emergency.
CONSENT & ETIQUETTE
Drinks and second rounds are optional
- Ordering alcohol is optional and a clear no should end the offer. A minimum spend is a bill, not a drinking target.
- Ask before photographing people, performers or another table, and follow the venue's camera policy.
- Keep voices and groups clear of residential doors, pavements and station gates. Gangnam's side streets are offices and homes, and they empty out late.
