Sangria

Jinju's latest independent venture.
 
Sangria is available for W3000 a glass at Gyeongsang University Front Gate Benches, to accompany the live music played there. Like many of the stalls that appear on Saturday afternoons, Sangria has no fixed hours, or even days or dates of business. The best way find out more is to get down to the Front Gate on Saturdays.

Dal Oasis

The second incarnation of Bandal.

Bandal has re-opened its doors in Pyeonggeo Dong, in the west of Jinju. As well as being larger and brighter Dal Oasis has taken on a somewhat Hawaiian feel.
 


The menu is also expanded, and boasts new side dishes, as well as set meals. Dal Oasis also serves beer in several varieties, including draught beer in three sizes, at a very reasonable price.
 
 
All in all, this is a big improvement. The food is better, the drinks more varied, and the atmosphere really is that of an oasis - a place you can go to escape the grind. Dal Oasis easily scores 9/10. Live music, to compliment the chilled Korean Indie music that is already played through the speakers, would certainly see it crack the magic 10.
