Rainbow Pocha 레인보우포차

Chicken and vegetables simmer in a fiery red sauce for dakbokkeumtang, a drinking dish that easily doubles as dinner with rice. Gopdoritang adds plenty of beef large intestine to the pot, setting tender chicken against rich, chewy offal, and the leftover sauce becomes fried rice at the end. Beyond soju and beer, the bar pours highballs and lemon soju; soju fits the spicy pots, while a highball suits lighter plates like corn cheese or tofu kimchi. The bar sits on the second floor of a building about 250 meters from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, so it does not stand out from the street. The room is small but cool, with music low enough for conversation.
