A Dog Cafe
Nope, not a place with dog on the menu, but a place with dogs to pet and play with. I met up Saturday afternoon with Karen in Hongdae (Hongik U. station, Exit 5) then turned left and walked two big blocks, and turned right into the first alley. Maybe the second building on the right. It's 2F and the sign looks likes this:

The "Bau House" offers beverages including coffee, tea, fruit drinks and beer, but not much to eat--except doggie treats! It is family-friendly and several families brought their own pet. Remarkably, there was very little aggressive behavior, and while the place smelled of dog, of course, it was very clean thanks to constant swiffering by the staff. A big city is a difficult place to own a dog, so this "cafe/hotel" offers dog-lovers an opportunity to commune with their canine side. There were about thirty or so dogs of a wide variety of breeds, from chow to husky to sheltie to lab, some of whom apparently do work in the entertainment industry when they're not being pampered by patrons of the Bau House.

GIO cafe

(Cats Attic) which is a cat cafe chain here with many locations throughout Korea.

If you are looking for a relaxing time enjoying animals in Korea you should consider stopping by one of these Cat Cafes! It is pretty inexpensive considering you can stay as long as you please, and if you go during weekdays it is really empty inside so you can have all the cats to yourself!

Directions to Cat Attic in Gangnam~

Gangnam gets a little crowded on the weekends at night, so make sure you keep your eyes open as you are walking! The easiest way is to Exit 9 on the green line and walk straight down the street. From that main street will be able to see the sign for the cat cafe on the 4th floor of a medium sized building nested in between some others~ just enter and take the elevator door up! If you are walking on the street and you hit the intersection with American Apparel on the other side you have gone too far .

Rules of the Cat Cafe

Which cat is your favorite? To get to the Cat Cafe, take Seoul Subway Line 2 to Gangnam. Take exit 10, and as soon as you exit the subway, take your first left down a small street. At the end of that street take a slight right, and the building is on your left. There is a 7-11 on the ground floor. Go inside and take the elevator up to the 4th floor. Follow the cat signs!
