First off, if it's your first time here, it could be a bit of a challenge to find this bar. The bar is located on the 4th Floor in the building so you have to take a small elevator up. On the evening I went, because the elevator is so small, there was a small line that built up waiting for it to go up and back down.
Once the elevator reached the 4th Floor, it opened up to the bar. I was thrusted from this quiet elevator into another world with tons of TVs and lots of people standing, chatting, sitting, eating and drinking. The first thing I noticed as how many TVs there were here! There was a TV everywhere I turned, which was great since I'm an avid sports fan! Second, the crowd was surprisingly diverse. I assumed many of the customers would be Korean, since this bar was in the heart of Ktwon, but alas my assumption was wrong.
We arrived at about 8pm on a Friday evening, just in time for the drink and food specials or really the continuation of happy hour. According to my friend, who led us here, the bar's happy hour lasts all night until 11pm. We took a seat and were attended to by a very busy waitress, who seemed to be the ONLY waitress on our side of the bar. She was flying around the entire bar and, not her fault, but took a while to get back to us at times.
As for the menu, it was pretty typical of bars, but with a Korean twist. For every American type bar food item, there was something that was Korean-inspired, such as, Kimchi Fries, Soy Garlic Wings, Kalbi Sweet Wings, Bibim Burger ------ you get my drift. There were plenty of Korean-inspired items, which was a nice change. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of American foods, but there were also various Korean foods mixed in.
We ended up ordering the Soy Garlic Wings and Guacamole with nacho chips. The wings were really good and our table couldn't stop eating them despite the fact we had a meal before at another bar. The guacamole was good, however the nacho chips had a bit too much cheese on them. I'm one that rarely complains there are too many toppings, but the chips were soaked in so much cheese that they became soft. In fact, there was too much cheese and not enough other toppings and guacamole.
My first impression was that this was an awesome bar to catch a game at. There were plenty of tables inside and a long bar in the middle where many were hanging out. There were so many TVs and angles to catch the game at that there wasn't a bad seat/table in the house. Also, at the time we arrived it wasn't extremely crowded, albeit still crowded though. The diverse food menu makes for great bar food and they have big dishes if you're planning to have dinner here too. read more
