Compiled from 7 blog posts read in fullSources →
A makgeolli-and-jeon house in a basement at 8 Bangbaecheon-ro, by exit 13 of Sadang Station. The signature is a minari pancake topped with whole shrimp (28,000 won), alongside squid kimchi pancake (22,000 won), stews and stir-fries, all with makgeolli. One post found a separate lunch menu, such as a spicy pork rice bowl for 7,000 won. We read 9 posts dated July 22 to October 14, 2026; one was about a different bar nearby and was set aside, and one was the same writer reposting the same visit on another blog, so we counted that visit once. Seven posts describe actual visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The pancakes are big. Three posts called the portions large, describing the shrimp pancake as nearly enough for four, or plenty for two or three; writers who counted the shrimp found 20. One post thought prices looked high until the food came out.
- Free bar snacks come to the table: 5 posts mention pickles and silkworm pupae (one also lists garlic and jalapeño pickles) plus a soy dipping sauce for the pancakes. One October 2026 post says side dishes, water and drinks are self-serve and that it went back for more of the side-dish tteokbokki.
- There is a large TV, noted by 3 posts as good for watching games. Several posts also mention walls decorated with tennis rackets.
- Posts lean toward good value: 4 said prices were low or fair (cheap makgeolli, the 28,000-won shrimp pancake as generous, the 7,000-won lunch), and 1 thought it looked pricey until it saw the portion. None called it expensive.

- Six of the 7 visits found the owner friendly, and three received something on the house — pressed pork, a potato pancake, a bowl of rice. One post says the owner cooks alone, which is why side dishes are self-serve.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 6 of 7 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 7 posts read) |
It is underground: 6 of the 7 visits mention going down to the basement level. A karaoke shares the floor; one writer first mistook the place for it, and another says to turn left at the bottom.
We don't know about wheelchair or stroller access. One post mentions stairs down and another a narrow passage to the basement, but nobody mentioned an elevator or a step at the door.
Only 1 post mentioned the toilet: outside the bar, clean, but without a door, which it found awkward for men. No other post mentioned it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 8 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Accounts of the size differ: 3 posts called it spacious enough for groups, 1 said it is not very big but cozy.
- Three posts put it 1, 2-3 and under 5 minutes' walk from exit 13 of Sadang Station. Nobody wrote about buses.
- No post mentions waiting. One found it packed on a holiday and another busy with groups even early, but nobody queued. That isn't proof there's no wait, only that no one wrote about one.
- Few posts said who they went with: 2 with family (a mother and daughter, a cousin) and 1 alone at lunch. None clearly said they went with friends.
- Three posts give evening hours of 17:00-24:00, Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday, all copied from a listing (one wrote both 'daily' and 'closed Sundays'). One October 2026 post found a lunch menu, but no one gave lunch hours.
- Three posts list the phone number 02-523-2608. Reservations appear only in copied listing text; no one wrote about actually booking.
