Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hongdae, Seoul, **Hongdae Club Aura** is not just a nightclub; it’s an electrifying experience that pulsates with the rhythm of the city.

Place is basically filled with table areas and you can only dance between the tables. Doesn't really give room to socialize or meet new people tbh. The line was long-ish but the club was empty-ish when we were let in (they also charge a 15k cover fee. But it was really nice and I'm happy to be here. 😂😂.  Love to visit again this place 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🎌🎌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇰🇷🎌

Honestly thought that the club felt a little too "grimy" for my liking. That said, it was still a fabulous experience, given it's my first time clubbing in Korea. I've heard a lot about Club Aura, and how it's one of the best clubs in Hongdae.

15k KRW for guys to enter, unless you get a table. The earlier you go, the less you'll need to pay; for 4 of us, we ended up getting a table for 250k KRW (which is a bottle of bubbles and a bottle of hard liquor). We ended up ordering 3x Moets throughout the night, which was 3x 280k KRW; not the cheapest but I thought it was fair for the amount of EDM fun we had.

Don't think too much if you're coming, just enjoy yourself, vibing to the music.

Been there last night. Long cue waiting. When reached to security. Guy asked me to pay 10k KRW to enter club. When I took the money out he saw 50k notes and suddenly I heard 15k KRW price for entry 😳🤷‍♂️. For me it wasn’t a big deal I paid straight way to get into club. He provided me a free drink voucher which gave it to a bar guy and asked him to give me whisky with soda. He just provided me only soda no alcohol mixed in it. Horrible service. Be careful when you go to this club. Atmosphere was just ok. Waste of money. Club wasn’t even busy. They were just holding crowd outside for no reason.

Vibrant ambience... Rekindle my love of EDM ◢ ◤
(Note that there're 2 separate locations in the same neighborhood, Aura1 with EDM, Aura2 with Hip-hop)

Do not come here.
They keep the line long even when it’s empty - once you get inside, I went with my girlfriend - there is no dancefloor. Only if you pay for a bottle of like £80 you cannot have a table.
Maybe we are spoilt by the clubs in London but this was such a crap club. Context: We earn well above average in the U.K. which is far more expensive than Korea. But we didn’t want a whole bottle of vodka for an hour.
If they got rid of the first two rows of tables and replaced them with a dancefloor it could be good but as it stands it’s pretentious and generally the music is mid at best.
Strong comparison to the U.K. here but - absolutely awful if you have good standards of what a night out should be.
