Near Gwangalli. SOL Taphouse Gwangan occupies the fourth floor of a building on Gwangan Beach Road in Suyeong-gu, Busan, specializing in New York-style wood-fired pizza and craft draft beer. With approximately 780 Google reviews at a 4.5 rating, its direct view of the Gwangan Bridge makes it especially popular during evening hours when the bridge is illuminated. The interior channels a Brooklyn pub aesthetic, and the high proportion of international visitors contributes to an atmosphere that feels transported from abroad. The pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven, producing a crust that balances crispness with a satisfying chew. The tomato sauce stands out for its fresh acidity, and the dough retains its texture over time thanks to a well-developed fermentation process. Individual slices are available for purchase, which is convenient for solo diners or those wanting to sample multiple varieties, and the kitchen will cut a whole pizza in half upon request. Options range from pepperoni and white pizza to meat lover, and each table is equipped with parmesan cheese and hot sauce for personal adjustment. The buffalo wings deliver an authentically American preparation, a rare find in Korea that satisfies a specific craving for the genuine article. The tap lineup spans lagers, pale ales, and IPAs, all served as craft drafts. Ordering and payment follow a counter prepay system, and a mandatory one-item-per-person food rule applies, so visitors planning to drink beer only should be aware of this policy beforehand. Pricing runs slightly above delivery pizza chains, but the wood-fired quality combined with the Gwangan Bridge nightscape is widely considered reasonable value. Rainy days and weekday visits tend to offer a more relaxed experience.
