Fodor's Expert Review Matilda

Old-school vinyl music is the name of the game at this popular LP bar in western Jeju. The drink menu is decent enough, with standard cocktails like gin and tonics, martinis, and jack and cokes, in addition to the usual selection of bottled imported beers and high-priced whiskeys, tequilas, and other potables. Where Matilda really shines, though, is the music selection, with a vinyl selection that would put a streaming service to shame. You're welcome to make requests on a slip of paper you receive when you order, albeit with a couple of provisos: only one song per person, no Korean pop released since 2000, no classical Korean "trot" music, and no club music. The old music posters and retro decor provide an interesting contrast with the ultra-modern raw concrete walls. A single rectangle window frames the sea to masterful effect.
