For the locals, a night out usually involves three steps: dinner which is washed down with beer or soju (a Korean wine), more beer or soju and then its karaoke time. Many establishments in Seoul cater for karaoke with private rooms available for larger groups. Customers can order alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as well as small meals and snacks at these venues.

Itaewon Street is another favourite area for dining as there are many restaurants to choose from here. It is very easy to find authentic Korean, Chinese, European and Indian cuisine here.
