You'll learn the real rules locals use at the table: quick, funny drinking games, plus the etiquette behind them, like two-handed pours, who pours for whom, how to toast, and how to show respect to elders. Your host leads you into real neighborhood pubs and pairs drinks with market snacks for a night you won't find in a guidebook.
Non-drinkers are fully included with easy swaps. The point is laughter and connection, not overdrinking. Clear subway directions, small groups, and transparent inclusions keep the night smooth, with no staged performances. You leave with phrases, gestures, and pairings you can reuse for the rest of your trip.
Good for friends, couples, and team outings looking for a real night out rather than a staged one.

Like an evening with a local friend
Our evening with Jeff was a highlight of our trip to Korea. It was not just a drinking tour. It was like going out with a local friend in a new city. We learned a lot about Korea and Jeff’s enthusiasm for his country and for helping us learn about it was infectious. We wanted an experience and he more than delivered. Jeff tailored the evening to our interests. We were able to try foods that we hadn’t yet experienced and probably wouldn’t without a local friend.
The games were fun and easy to learn and ones we will take with us. The food was amazing (and plentiful). The memories are invaluable. Thank you Jeff
Operator response
Thanks, Amy. “Like an evening with a local friend” is about the best description we could ask for. Jeff is great at reading the group and letting the night evolve around their interests, and it sounds like he found the right mix of food, games, and conversation for you.

Incredible evening of eating, drinking and engaging conservation!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Jeff, who not only guided us through a proper Korean BBQ experience and taught us several fun drinking games but also engaged in thoughtful and dynamic conversation with us about Korean culture. A highlight of our time in Korea!
Operator response
The conversation is really as much a part of the night as the BBQ and the games, glad Jeff brought all three. Good to hear it stood out even against everything else you did in Korea.
