    Dare I say the Wolfhound is TOO popular on certain nights? They've got suited bouncers, and just about everyone in town tries to pass in and out. I used to go when it was smaller and fairly quaint, but I went in recently on a whim on a busy night, and I got upstairs and there was a fairly inebriated white girl using the last few square inches of floor space to do the Elaine Benes dance. In other words, not much space left for drinking and eating.
    Good on them for the popping business, but Cheers, it is not. Irish-themed nightclub with the lights on, possibly…

    I was there last night and there were a couple open tables and drinks came quickly and the kitchen was open till late. Dorking-I see you just erased your message- the Wolfhound last night wasn't too bad. These days Itaewon isn't the mad-happening place it used to be on the weekdays. Helios was pretty empty last night and so were most of the other places. The only happening place was B(one).
