In the Kunguk University neighborhood of Seoul -- an area peppered with stationery shops, ?hangover stew" restaurants and ?DVD rooms? where college students go to make out in privacy -- a D.I.Y. beer pub has become one of the most popular venues on the block since it opened last March.
At Beer Barket, the set-up is straightforward.
Customers grab a table, which comes with a basket that they can fill with ice and use to shop from a selection of over 100 brews from a row of refrigerators. Prices are posted on each fridge. At the end of their night, when they get up to leave, an employee gathers the bottles and brings them to the counter, where they are tallied up for the bill.
These self-service watering holes -- often referred to as ?beer changgo? or ?beer warehouses? for their stark look and rows of refrigerators -- are cropping up all over the country, attracting a young clientele with their wallet-friendly and varied selection of domestic and imported beers.
Student-friendly and wallet-friendly.
