Giwa Taproom 기와탭룸

400m from Anguk Station. Renovated traditional architecture defines Kiwa Taproom, located behind the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. Drinking under a tiled roof provides a backdrop for ten rotating taps focusing on ales and stouts. Menu descriptions accurately reflect flavors. Bianca offers citrus notes, while Old Rasputin draft provides a smooth finish with roasted malt. The black-and-white Imperial Stout is a staple. Food offerings exceed bar fare, featuring Michelin-recognized pasta and gnocchi. Salami rosti, a Swiss potato pancake with ginger sauce, pairs well with beer. Sweet potato fries are popular, though chicken receives mixed reviews regarding value. Wooden veranda (maru) seating adds historical touch. Opening at noon at 74-7 Yulgok-ro 1-gil, Jongno-gu, the space accommodates afternoon drinking. The floor plan suits groups of two to four; the single large table requires advance notice. The venue hosts events like CCDF and serves as a distinct setting for international visitors. Soup dishes are absent.
