400m from Jongno 3-ga Station. A craft beer bar in the hanok alley of Ikseon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The bar carries beers that have won at international competitions, with a range spanning IPAs to fruit-flavored varieties. A self-tap system lets guests pour their own servings, enabling small pours of multiple styles for an exploratory tasting experience, and a sampler menu is also available. Signature brews like Neomsabyeok receive high satisfaction marks, with each beer offering a distinct character. Crispy fried chicken and wood-fired style pizza pair well with the beers, and a ricotta cheese salad rounds out the food options. The interior features stylish decor with neon lighting, creating a lively atmosphere that stands out against the traditional hanok neighborhood. The space is notably larger than most venues in the Ikseon-dong alley, accommodating groups comfortably. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the beer selection. The bar works well for a casual single pint or as a second-round destination after dinner nearby. Having built name recognition through craft beer festivals, it has earned a strong reputation among beer enthusiasts and is the first place to consider when looking for craft beer in Ikseon-dong.
