Konkuk Univ. cocktail bar after dinner: Okbodan, Kahlua milk at V-Lab

My friend and I had a great dinner in Konkuk and were wondering where to go for a second round, when we heard about V-Lab Konkuk (비랩 건대점), a place near Konkuk Univ. Station where you can drink unlimited cocktails for around ₩10,000-something. So off we went ★

How to get to V-Lab Konkuk, and is there parking?

From Exit 1 of Konkuk Univ. Station, it's a 3-minute walk! It's so close to the station that you can't really get lost, haha. There's no parking space of its own, though, so I'd recommend taking public transit 🚇

V-Lab Konkuk atmosphere and seating

The first thing you see when you open the door is pink lighting washing over the whole place! Soft but hip, that's the vibe ღ

There are board games in the back, and they're free to use! 🎲

Besides the regular tables, there's a separate floor seating area on the other side where you take your shoes off and sit comfortably! The space is pretty roomy, so I don't think a big group would have to worry about seats. Passes as a spot for get-togethers too 👥

Entrance photo zone and snap photo booth

There's a little photo zone by the entrance too! A snap photo machine is sitting there, so my friend and I took one the moment we walked in, hahaha (it costs money, by the way ^^). Right next to it there's even a selfie mirror, so take your photos first and then start drinking ⭐

Who is the bartender behind V-Lab?

I heard V-Lab is run by a master bartender who ranked No. 1 in Korean bartender rankings for five years in a row and has won world competitions too (๑❛ᴗ❛๑) They've been a bartender for over 20 years and currently serve as a competition judge, so how could I not be excited about the cocktails? 🍸

V-Lab Konkuk unlimited cocktail price and how to order

Ordering is easy: scan the QR code on your table and pick!

V-Lab Konkuk is a premium unlimited cocktail bar at ₩18,000 per person, and there's no time limit!! 60-odd signature cocktails, plus highballs, tequila, liquor shots and even soju are all included. Surprising, right? Beer lovers, note that with the unlimited plan, beer can be added for ₩1,000 per bottle 🍺

I also read the guide on the table, and delivery and outside snacks are both OK as long as the food doesn't smell strong! 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

• Unlimited cocktails ₩18,000 × 2
• Butter popcorn ₩5,000

Butter popcorn as a bar snack

I spotted butter popcorn (₩5,000) on the side menu and immediately ordered it as a snack 🍿 I ate sooo much microwave popcorn as a kid, and apparently it's really high in calories..(?) (⊙_⊙) I decided to pretend I didn't know and just eat it ^^;; It was savory and salty and went perfectly with the cocktails.

First drinks: Okbodan and Kahlua milk

The first cocktails we ordered at V-Lab Konkuk were Okbodan and Kahlua milk! Sweet ones that women really love ♥ㅅ♥

My friend recommended the Okbodan, and it was sweet and smooth and so good! 🍑 And as for the Kahlua milk, need I say it's good? A foolproof combo, as always haha

Next up: apple mojito and strawberry mojito

Next we picked an apple mojito and a strawberry mojito! Another pair women love *^_^*

I had the apple mojito and my friend had the strawberry mojito. Both were fresh and refreshing, just right for cleansing the palate! We swapped sips, and both were so good that we couldn't pick a winner, or so the story goes 🍏🍓 🍏🍓 🍏🍓

Is V-Lab Konkuk worth it for an after-dinner second round?

As you'd expect from a place run by a master bartender ranked No. 1 for five years straight ⭐ V-Lab Konkuk lets you drink 60-odd cocktails with no time limit for ₩18,000, with free board games for fun, and delivery and outside snacks allowed. It's a great-value cocktail bar ♥ If you want to drink cocktails in Konkuk without stress, I recommend V-Lab Konkuk! 🐭🌈
