Hidden Gem Near Sinyongsan & Samgakji: A Must-Visit Local Pub for Beer & Food Lovers
If you ever find yourself near Sinyongsan Station or Samgakji and need a great spot to eat, drink, and hang out, this long-standing local pub is the place to go! (Also, I'm writing this down so I don’t forget.)
At first glance, this place looks old and unassuming from the outside—almost like there wouldn't be many customers inside.
But once you step in…
A Surprisingly Packed Spot
Despite its modest exterior, this pub is always full of people. It has around 17 four-person tables, and even though the space is quite large, it’s consistently packed.
The only downside? Since the place gets so busy, the noise level rises, and conversations get louder and louder. Be ready to raise your voice a little if you want to be heard!
Why People Love This Pub
🍺 The Draft Beer is Amazing
Since this is a hof (beer pub), the draft beer here is exceptionally fresh and smooth—definitely a must-try!
🌭 Sausage Stir-Fry (쏘야) – A Fan Favorite
One of the most popular dishes here is the spicy and sweet sausage stir-fry (쏘야). It even has cucumber in it, which is quite unique and adds a refreshing twist! (If you don’t like cucumbers, just pick them out—there’s no strong cucumber taste.)
The sauce is so good that you might want to mix it with rice. Also, the portion size is huge—if you’re stopping by for a second round of drinks, one order is enough for four people to share.
🍗 Fried Chicken – The Ultimate Hof-Style Flavor
Of course, I couldn’t leave without ordering a whole fried chicken. Anyone who loves Korean hof culture knows that pub-style fried chicken is the real deal. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—perfection.
Final Thoughts
This place is a true local hidden gem. Whether you're looking for a great draft beer, delicious snacks, or a lively atmosphere, it's worth a visit.
I’m already getting hungry just thinking about it…
