Sure the tables don't look like it came straight from the more recent and local furniture stores but the worn wooden furniture defines the atmosphere that we Koreans enjoy during our endless nights of drinking.
Coming from Los Angeles, where Korean bars are quite copious, Shobu definitely does the best job in resembling what I have known as a "sooljib" for a very long time. The service is quite consistent. They don't tend to lag or ignore and since all the tables are a bit condensed to one area, the servers keep in touch with all our needs. But I wish they gave us more service(free drinks). Not saying that I want free drinks all night, but for the amount of liquor my friends and I have already spent on since our discovery of the spot, I think it's time that we get a little something something for our business contribution. But nothing comes free in this world so I understand the business perspective in not giving us service soju.
Their menu offers the usual side dishes and what not. They also have different combinations that you can order whether it be two sojus + two beers + two sodas + a plate of snack. It all varies based on what your appetitte desires.
The prices are pretty standard. Soju is normally anywhere from $11-13 a bottle and all other more valuable liquor is far above that ceiling so I suggest you stick with soju.
Smoking is normally not allowed inside the restaurant but I've seen countless amount of people just smoking away regardless of the regulations.
Oh, and for all you underage kids, yes they do accept you. Just make sure you don't look like you're in middle school =)
