The
first thing any English speaking foreigner is gonna notice about this
place is the sign. Beyond coffee, beer, and music; they also offer
‘nude price.’ Neither my friends, nor I, who often both the
dakgalbi restaurant below, and the regular galbi restaurant across the
street, had ever heard this phrase. I tried to google it, but google
basically just told me I was a pervert. So the only way to learn the
definition of this phrase was to go to Caffe Star King.
On entering, we were pleasantly surprised (or unpleasantly disappointed, depending on what we were hoping for) by the generally tasteful atmosphere and fully clothed clientele and staff. Caffe Star King is just a really big coffeeshop that’s open twenty-four hours a day. The first thing you see is a bunch of private tent rooms. I take it that these are for couples who desire a bit of privacy. The open seating area has a friendly lounge feel to it. Big comfortable chairs, some with stuffed animal pillows on them. There are also several more rooms as you make your way to the back.
Oh yeah, I guess ‘nude
prices’ just means that everything costs 3,000 won. The menu had the
basic coffee drinks, along with beer. It would actually be a pretty
cool place to have a few beers before starting the night. I’m not sure
what the music they mention on the sign references, but there could be
some space for bands. If nothing else, it could be a fun place to start
the night, or a cool spot to chill out until 5:00AM if you’re waiting
for the subway to start running again.
DIrections: Seomyeon metro, go out exit 2. Walk straight until you come to a big Paris Baguette. Turn left. Walk for two and a half blocks. It’s on your left, second floor above the dakgalbi restaurant.
