Seoul 88 Beer is a bar on the first floor of Gaya Building at 102 Yulgok-ro 8-gil in Jongno, Seoul, serving beer with a broad Korean pub menu. Its fried section starts with 88 fried chicken and also includes honey-butter fries and house-made fried squid. Chicken, thin-cut potatoes, and squid make these separate dishes. Pizza follows the venue's own recipe and is baked in the on-site oven. The special quarter pizza divides one pie into four flavors, distinguishing it from pizzas built around a single topping combination. Hot iron plates form another part of the menu. Mixed sausages share one plate, thin beef brisket is stir-fried with mung bean sprouts, and seasoned LA short ribs or pork neck place marinated meat at the center. Soup and hotpot dishes change both the cooking liquid and the main ingredient. Beef-brisket kimchi jjigae brings sliced beef into a kimchi stew, dakbokkeumtang cooks chicken in a spicy braising broth, and hanbang dakhanmari serves a whole chicken in soup. Kansai-style oden soup shifts the focus from meat to fish cakes. Cold dishes include sliced raw salmon, a ricotta salmon salad, and Korean beef yukhoe. The first keeps salmon as the sole center of the plate, while the salad combines it with ricotta and vegetables; yukhoe uses raw beef instead of fish. House-made pork cutlet and samgyetang extend the selection toward complete meals rather than snack plates. This range gives Seoul 88 Beer a menu organized by cooking form: fried chicken and squid, oven-baked pizza, sizzling meats, shared stews, raw salmon or beef, and pork-cutlet or chicken-soup meals. Beer remains the main drink identity, with highballs available alongside it, but the food is not limited to the usual pairing of fried chicken and pizza.
