My pretty one was tired after Gong Beak but still came out to hang with me. After a light dinner in Seongsu, we decided to grab cocktails before heading home — that's how we ended up at 'V-Lab Konkuk,' an unlimited cocktail bar near Konkuk University Station.
There's board games, a lie detector, darts and all sorts of things to do, which makes it even more fun. You can also bring in outside food, so you can pair your favorite snacks with the cocktails 💕

Purple-lit interior and seating at V-Lab Konkuk
My favorite part of V-Lab Konkuk is the purple. I love it so much I could say purple over and over. Right from the entrance stairs, it's a great photo zone.
Once inside, you can see the space where they mix all kinds of cocktails, plus some cool performances. There's also a sticker photo booth by the entrance where you can capture this moment for the memories 😁

Godfather, Mango-Fed Cow. We're both alcohol lovers, but today we agreed to keep it light — just one or two drinks... My pretty one said, 'Wow, this place is so young, are we even allowed to be here?' Hahaha.
The butter popcorn was genuinely, seriously savory — a real hidden gem, I'll admit it! The Godfather has a bit of a kick, but I love it — that's what makes it a real drink. I'm a fan of anything with a touch of whiskey in it.
Trying the lie detector and crocodile games
Game time for real! We were excited to try the lie detector, but neither of us could figure out how to use it — total disappointment! Turns out the wrong instructions were included, ugh 🤣
So we moved on to the crocodile game instead. But why is it always me who gets caught... I guess life really is about who gets lucky, sigh.
First Love, Blue Hawaii. Both had such pretty, fresh colors, I loved them. The alcohol content is on the lighter side.
V-Lab Paradise, the signature cocktail
V-Lab Paradise. A signature cocktail that impresses your eyes first with its radiant colors, and your taste buds second.
Hwaju, the flaming cocktail
Today's main event, the flaming liquor cocktail. It's got a gorgeous rainbow sheen. They lit it on fire and it caught beautifully, blazing away. My pretty one downed it in one go — must be strong, but she's an alcohol lover, so I have to give her credit.
We wrapped up cleanly with one last cocktail. We meant to only have one or two drinks, but it was so fun we completely lost track of time — hahaha 🤣

Overall, this is a top-tier great-value bar in Konkuk. V-Lab is a Konkuk hotspot with unlimited cocktails and all kinds of things to play with. Why not make some fun memories with your partner or friends at V-Lab Konkuk?
