Soul Trane

Type of Establishment: Bar/ Dance Club

Location: Near Pusan National University. From the main gate: walk out and make the first left. Walk straight about three blocks or so and turn right when you see Crossroads Bar on the left. Soul Trane is down on the right next to a chicken joint.

Review: Soul Trane has been one of the main expat hangouts for a while now--mainly English teachers, but a fair few soldiers and the occasional suits straggle in. Also a lot of Koreans, many from the university and often willing and able to speak English.

It's not that big and it gets pretty packed on weekends. They have a good selection of CDs (requests are encouraged) and the music is generally good--a mix of rock, folk, jazz, and electronic. The staff is very cool and they all speak English.

Nothing crazy on the menu--there is anju, but very few come here to eat. Stays open late (about sunrise) on weekends, and rocks into the early morning. Great place to get in touch with the expat community and your baser instincts.
