Krush

I would say this place is very chill place to hang out. It’s very casual and comfortable which is very different than a lot of other bars in Ktown. We watch football here on a Monday night a couple weeks ago. With the beers and wings, and good service, my friends and I had a nice casual time. It’s worth checking out

If you’re looking for a chill night with friends, you’ll find it at Krush.
We got there around 11PM on a Saturday night and immediately found an empty table in the corner. It was a comfortable noise level and we were able to play games and chat without screaming. There were TVs everywhere playing the basketball game. There’s also a beer pong section which is well organized.
We ordered two pitchers of beer and they ran out of cups??? So they gave us plastic cups that looked like the ones used at the beer pong tables and they were also wet (hopefully from being rinsed).

Probably would have never found this place ever if it wasn’t for my buddy. I also have never been to a bar full of Asians, even I feel out of place even though I’m Asian myself.
Pretty cool spot to hang out. Looks to be more aimed toward college students as the main attraction are the beer pong tables setup and dart boards while watching some hoops on TV.
The only thing that made my experience bad was that I left smelling like an alcoholic because someone spilled beer all over my jacket, thanks douchebag.
I hope to come back to try the food they serve. The food they kept running in and out the kitchen looked really appetizing.

The place has beer pong tables and a section for darts. It’s not a huge place, but can definitely accommodate around 100 people. Music’s good and I recommend getting their chicken wings!

Okay. This bar. Where do I even start.
Somehow this place has become THE bar my friends and I go to after college. Maybe it’s the three beer pong tables in the back that remind us of way too many days spent in frat houses or the dart board that you try to play but really can’t. Maybe it’s the many big screen TVs at the bar where you can talk to random guys about football as if you actually understand sports. Maybe it’s because this place shares the same bouncers as Third Floor/​Soju House/​MFC so you gotta say hi to your ktown connections. Maybe it’s because Ziller’s downstairs so you drink a few beers at Krush, play a few rounds of bp, and then sing your heart out downstairs. This place reminds me of college parties so maybe we just don’t want to grow up.
Krush is simple and straightforward. It gets crazy busy sometimes, but it’s always a fun crowd. It’s a good place to wind down with your buddies after a long day getting chewed out at work.

Original review:
Low class bar with low class clientele and ‘too cool’ uneducated bartenders.
this place is a bad joke and a waste of space.
More detailed review:
People who have no clue about drinks/​cocktails should come here. Cocktails are unimaginative/​routine and way overpriced. (Hence, my previous removed comment on ‘too cool’ uneducated bartenders. Uneducated in the sense that they need serious re-​schooling in mixology)
Décor is average at best.
Clientele is recently graduated/​college students who are quite annoying and loud.
Is this good enough Unilocal moderators?! (BTW, I’ve seen worse reviews posted about other places which have not been removed…)

If it takes you more than 5 minutes to find this bar, you’re either too young or too old to come here, bro. Krush is one of the broest-​bro bars in K-​town.
Krush is considered one of the K-town’s best-​kept secrets for a reason because, well, it’s hidden. Why my friends love this place more than any other dive bar with beer pong and sports bar in the city, I probably will never understand.
Some friends wanted to come here for happy hour and I initially refused because I was on a strict alcohol break, but I was opened to bar food. While all my friends ordered (lots) drinks, the waitress gave me a really strange vibe throughout my entire time there – almost like punishing me for not ordering drinks? I asked for a glass of water and her face had a 180 when I followed by asking for a beer (for a friend). Girl, you need to learn that not everyone will drink alcohol when they go to a bar. They didn’t even have cranberry juice… Other than the «polite-​pushy service,» we ordered a lot of wings and the Kimchi Fries. The Kimchi Fries were burning HOT. If you love kimchi and really hot sauce, you will love this; one fry from the top of the dish had me running to get water because I can’t tolerate spicy. We had the Sweet Chili Wings, Soy Garlic, and Peanut Chili Wings – all were crispy and delicious, but my favorite was the Peanut Chili – wasn’t too spicy, but very flavorful. Doesn’t have the best happy hour deals, but it’s one of the only dive bars in K-​town I can think of at the top of my head.
Lots of tv screens with sports everywhere and the college vibe is very well alive, especially on weekends where it can get rowdy.

Beer pong tables to blow off steam, the food is decent, and eye candy (if that kind of thing matters to you) to boot. There are a bunch of tables if you prefer to sit and eat and such (instead of ordering from the bar you’ll have to order from the server). The drink prices are fairly decent especially if you take advantage of the HH specials.
There are also 2 dart stations as well so you have options to kill time instead of sitting around and being the people watching creeper.
We stop by for quick happy hours with coworkers every now and then for some simple fun. The place is pretty quiet if you head over right out of work, but the place gets packed rather quick.

1. It’s cool, on the 4^th floor of what looks like an office building. You have to know it’s there to find it– through an elevator in back. Your out-​of-​town friends will think you’re a real insider if you take them here.
2. It’s friendly. The waitresses… even the bouncer… all nice, smiling, helpful and ready to joke around.
3. Good happy hour… until 11pm, Korean Soju: $ 10 a bottle.
4. Bad food. Nothing really Korean. And nothing really spicey… even the Srirachi chicken wings are wimpy. The «bulgogi» sliders taste like veggie burgers. The hotdogs in some kind of blanket are so greasy you can’t give them away. (We tried.) I’ve notice this trend lately among Korean bars aimed at young people… They are de-​Koreaned… made much more like the Mexican kitchen staff thinks is American.
5. In keeping with that theme, the only Korean beer they have is HITE… no OB! And NO Makkori!

I’ve only been here on weekends, and it is always super packed. It’s a great place to grab a few drinks to pre-​game or spend the night. There are beer pong tables and darts in the back. You have to sign up for a beer pong table, which might take awhile especially with the large crowd. It’s also hard to find a place to stand and sit without being in someone’s way. The place feels a little like a college bar with the younger crowd mixed in. But it’s a nice place to chill. And of course there is great eye candy.

Hidden gem up on the 4^th floor (a bit tricky to find but it does exist)
The wings and kimchi fries are really good! There is beer pong in the back (not my thing) and big screen tvs all over the places, playing the football games. They play good hip hop music and this place gets crazy busy at night time so if you want a table get there early.

A little confusing to find, definitely gets packed even on week nights (post-​work drinks). Loud, crowded dive bar vibe if that’s what you’re looking for. Bartenders on point with the cocktails, even offered shots on the house of this sweet liquor. No idea about the food though.

Weak drinks and just-​ok food. We ordered the kimchi fries which were not that great. We took pickle back shots which tasted watered down. Good atmosphere though, and a decent place to catch up with friends. I like the pong tables in the back, but didn’t get to play because it was super crowded on a Friday night.

Came here after happy hour was over, so I can’t comment on it unfortunately. We got a pitcher of alagash white — $ 28. A bucket of 5 budlight bottles, $ 20. Not too shabby. They have three beer pong tables here which is pretty sweet and fun along with darts. The music is so so. Definitely not a place for dancing, but a great place to just hang out and have a great time with friends.
Half of the bar is reserved for tables and such, with a ton of TVs with football games.
Service is pretty attentive.
Would definitely come back.

First off, if it’s your first time here, it could be a bit of a challenge to find this bar. The bar is located on the 4^th Floor in the building so you have to take a small elevator up. On the evening I went, because the elevator is so small, there was a small line that built up waiting for it to go up and back down.
Once the elevator reached the 4^th Floor, it opened up to the bar. I was thrusted from this quiet elevator into another world with tons of TVs and lots of people standing, chatting, sitting, eating and drinking. The first thing I noticed as how many TVs there were here! There was a TV everywhere I turned, which was great since I’m an avid sports fan! Second, the crowd was surprisingly diverse. I assumed many of the customers would be Korean, since this bar was in the heart of Ktwon, but alas my assumption was wrong.
We arrived at about 8pm on a Friday evening, just in time for the drink and food specials or really the continuation of happy hour. According to my friend, who led us here, the bar’s happy hour lasts all night until 11pm. We took a seat and were attended to by a very busy waitress, who seemed to be the ONLY waitress on our side of the bar. She was flying around the entire bar and, not her fault, but took a while to get back to us at times.
As for the menu, it was pretty typical of bars, but with a Korean twist. For every American type bar food item, there was something that was Korean-​inspired, such as, Kimchi Fries, Soy Garlic Wings, Kalbi Sweet Wings, Bibim Burger —— you get my drift. There were plenty of Korean-​inspired items, which was a nice change. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of American foods, but there were also various Korean foods mixed in.
We ended up ordering the Soy Garlic Wings and Guacamole with nacho chips. The wings were really good and our table couldn’t stop eating them despite the fact we had a meal before at another bar. The guacamole was good, however the nacho chips had a bit too much cheese on them. I’m one that rarely complains there are too many toppings, but the chips were soaked in so much cheese that they became soft. In fact, there was too much cheese and not enough other toppings and guacamole.
My first impression was that this was an awesome bar to catch a game at. There were plenty of tables inside and a long bar in the middle where many were hanging out. There were so many TVs and angles to catch the game at that there wasn’t a bad seat/​table in the house. Also, at the time we arrived it wasn’t extremely crowded, albeit still crowded though. The diverse food menu makes for great bar food and they have big dishes if you’re planning to have dinner here too.

Krush is a college dive bar buried in the heart of Koreatown. I had never heard of it until I walked in about a couple of months ago on a Friday night, and then my jaw dropped for two reasons: 1) I’m pretty sure this used to be Boss Lounge, and 2) it was packed! There were 4 legit beer pong tables, two dart boards in the back half of the bar, and a guy that was taking names for who’s got next. This is the first time I tried my hand at darts, and I’m pretty sure I almost took someone’s head off a few times. There’s also a long bar with about about 10 – 15 stools and TV’s everywhere broadcasting sports games. There is a pretty good variety of beer and liquor, and drink prices are normal for city standards. It’s definitely noisy here, but it’s mainly because of the crowd, not the music. Either way, I definitely wouldn’t mind coming back if I’m in the area and in the mood for a throwback to my youth.
P. S. Never mind, this wasn’t Boss Lounge. I found the actual former Boss Lounge! (
)

Ambiance: can you say college bar?! If you’re looking for a real life #tbt to your college days then come here… They have beer pong tables and plenty of college kids or recent grads in this joint
Honestly when I walked in I felt like I was walking into a typical college house party like I would have X years ago (hah not revealing my age!)
Service: I was here on a Thursday night and I never waited more than a minute to get the bartenders attention to place my orders, so here I will say they were fast and efficient when getting people their drinks. Plus 3 stars! Service is important to me
Drinks: only had Gin and tonics here but I will say the bartender was generous with the gin which I appreciate… plus another star here
All in all unless I’m feeling nostalgic for my college days I won’t be back… That’s not to say you wouldn’t check this place out if that’s your type of scene

Not really sure what happened with management but it seems that they don’t care about customer service anymore. Ever since Grace left, they only seem to care about money and less about the consumer.
First off, you now have a beer pong nazi who watches every table and every move you make. They won’t let you handle your own table with people calling next. Definitely kills the flow of the games and nobody wanted to play anymore having to deal with him.
They require you to buy a pitcher every single time. Not that we don’t do that already, but now you have him breathing down your neck. Dude, relax!
When asking for a pitcher of water so we can pour it into the cups, the bar refused to give us a pitcher. They filled the cups up and made us walk back and forth. and then later in the night they refused to fill the cups in general. We had to go fill them using the bathroom sink ourselves.
Also! Those cups on the side for beer pong. Most of those are used! They rewash them, so gross! So not only are you charging us 25 dollars a pitcher, forcing us to buy one for each round of beer pong, won’t make it easy on us to fill the cups with water, but you give us dirty used cups.
Absolutely disappointed with Krush. They took steps backwards as a business and everything I loved about this place is non existent now. I hope you’re reading this Krush. do something about this please. I would still like to play beer pong but not if you’re going to be this shady.

Ever feel like going back to your college days, filled with fun and regrets? Here, you might go back in time.
This is not your fancy schmancy bar with fancy schmancy drinks, but it is a bar with cheap drinks, young crowd and beer pong tables! So if you want to challenge the stranger next to you to a friendly competition of beer pong, you are at the right place.
Also it is no joke that this place is hard to find! I am not going to tell you how to get there because don’t want this bar to be super busy lol. Happy hours is pretty good, buy one get one free drinks.
Destress after your busy work day! Oh, did I tell you that the female bartenders were cute?

My friend and I came on a Thursday night, and it wasn’t too crowded, surprisingly. We all ordered the Belgian beer because there was a happy hour deal. I also shared a plate of a dozen wings with a friend. We ordered the kami sweet wings, which was just a tad spicy, but not overwhelming. I enjoyed the wings! Though not the best wings I’ve ever had, they were nicely crisped on the outside, good flavor (a bit sweet, a bit spicey).
The place itself was like a college bar. The crowd was definitely around early twenties to early thirties, and some were playing beer pong as well as the other games that were there. The music was too loud though and I could barley hear across the table.
The waitresses were super nice and outgoing and kept checking in on us to see if everything was ok. They even helped me charge my dying phone until I had to leave and got my phone back from them.
