Andong's drinking scene is not characterized by a bustling nightlife, but rather offers a more traditional and relaxed atmosphere, focusing on local craft beverages and the city's renowned traditional soju.
Entertainment and Music:
Andong, primarily a destination for experiencing deeply rooted traditional Korean culture, also offers a modest selection of music and entertainment options for visitors.
Traditional Korean music and dance are central to Andong's cultural offerings, with performances such as the Hahoe Mask Dance Drama regularly presented at the Hahoe Village Cultural Center. Beyond these cultural displays, a few venues in the city provide live music, including jazz clubs and bars where local bands or solo artists occasionally perform, such as Blue Moon Jazz Lounge or Ida.
