Wonjo Manseon Hof

원조만선호프 The Nogari Alley beer house at 14 Chungmu-ro 9-gil where the two indoor floors sit half empty while everyone climbs the stairs to the rooftop, and a grilled baby pollack still costs 2,000 won.

Wonjo Manseon Hof is a beer house in the dried-pollock lane, a few minutes' walk from Euljiro 3-ga station. The licence is filed under a different name, but the sign and the customers say Wonjo Manseon Hof. The first and second floors are indoors and a staircase leads to a rooftop — and the rooftop is the only part that fills up. A dried pollock or a dried yellow pollock costs ₩2,000; fried chicken under a garlic sauce is sold by the half bird; a large screen plays baseball and old pop performances. The posts we read run from July 2025 to September 2026.

The basics

5 posts say it is walkable from the station.

What to order

• 마늘치킨11 ate it
  maneul chikin₩11,000 · ₩12,000 · ₩21,000 · ₩22,000

  The dish ordered most often here. Fried chicken under a sweet, sharp garlic sauce — one writer notes the sauce comes poured over rather than on the side, and that the coating had gone soft by the time it arrived. **They sell it by the half bird.**

  Half a bird is given as ₩11,000 in some posts and ₩12,000 in others; a whole bird as ₩21,000 or ₩22,000. **Two posts from 2026 give the half-bird prices for the garlic and the plain fried version the other way round** — we could not settle which is right. Two writers say the bird is small; one counted five pieces.

• 노가리8 ate it
  nogari₩2,000

  A small dried pollock, grilled, with a dipping sauce. **₩2,000 a fish** — the reason this lane is called the pollock alley, and the bottom of this shop's price range. It arrives whole; one writer explains you tear it apart with your hands.

  Three writers give the price and all three say ₩2,000. **One post says ₩1,000**, but it disagrees with the rest and carries no other prices, so we counted only ₩2,000. One writer measured it at over 20cm by eye; another found it too tough to chew.

• 후라이드치킨7 ate it
  huraideu chikin₩10,000 · ₩11,000 · ₩12,000

  Four writers order it as a half alongside a half of the garlic version. One adds a pot of sauce to dip it in.

  The half bird is ₩10,000 in a March 2026 post, ₩11,000 in April and May, ₩12,000 in September. **It reads as a price on the way up.**

• 을지로 골뱅이(골뱅이무침)6 ate it
  Euljiro golbaengi₩30,000

  Whelks tossed with a great heap of shredded spring onion, sweet-sour and hot. **The noodles are a separate order** — two writers only worked that out after the dish arrived.

  Only one writer gives a price: ₩30,000. Two say the whelks were meaty, one that they are not the tinned kind. One writer, on the other hand, found them rubbery.

• 황태5 ate it
  hwangtae₩2,000 · ₩2,500

  The other dried fish on the board, next to the pollock. One writer describes the sauce that comes with it: soy, mayonnaise and green chilli.

  Two posts say ₩2,000, one says ₩2,500, and one writer could not remember whether it was ₩2,500 or ₩3,500. One says it tastes much the same as the pollock; another found it chewier.

• 무뼈닭발4 ate it
  mu-ppyeo dakbal₩20,000

  Boned chicken feet in a hot sauce, stir-fried with vegetables according to two writers.

  Both writers who give a price say ₩20,000. **Two call it hot**, and one says a companion could not touch it. One notes it carries no off smell.

• 낙지소면3 ate it
  nakji somyeon₩21,000

  Octopus and thin noodles in a hot-pepper sauce. One writer was surprised to find it **served warm rather than as a cold mixed dish**.

  Both writers who give a price say ₩21,000. Two say the portion is generous and there is plenty of octopus in it.

• 닭똥집(튀김·볶음)2 ate it
  dak-ttongjip₩17,000

  Chicken gizzards, fried in one writer's account and stir-fried with vegetables in another's.

  One writer gives a price for the fried version: ₩17,000. One says it is not rubbery; another that the portion was enormous.

• 해물짬뽕탕2 ate it
  haemul jjamppong-tang₩21,000

  The soup people reach for when they want something hot and wet. **There are noodles in it** — one writer expected none, another added a coil of udon.

  Both writers give ₩21,000. One ordered it after catching the smell from the next table.

• 반건조 오징어2 ate it
  bangeonjo ojingeo₩19,000

  Half-dried squid, grilled. One writer calls it the thing you order once you are already full.

  Both writers say ₩19,000. **One of them writes "why is this so dear?"** — a fair reaction on a list where a pollock costs ₩2,000.

Sides, and what comes with it

• 소면 추가4 ate it
  somyeon chuga₩1,000 · ₩2,000

  A coil of thin wheat noodles to mix into the whelks. Four writers added it as an afterthought.

  One post says ₩1,000; another says **"I think it was ₩2,000"** — the writer's own hedge, not ours.

• 모듬감자·감자튀김2 ate it
  modeum gamja₩16,000

  A heap of potato in several shapes on one plate; one writer picks out a ground-and-fried kind among them.

  One writer gives ₩16,000. Both say it is good value.

Sweet things

• 파인애플 샤베트2 ate it
  pine-aepeul syabeteu

  Sherbet served inside a hollowed-out pineapple, lid and all. No writer gives a price.

  Both orders come from tables with children as well as adults. Nobody wrote down what it costs, so we leave the price blank.

To drink

• 생맥주20 ate it
  saeng-maekju₩5,000 · ₩5,500

  Twenty of the writers who went ordered it, in 500cc glasses; one names Terra, another Sapporo. **No writer here mentions an alcohol-free option.**

  A July 2025 post gives ₩5,000 for 500cc; posts from April and September 2026 give ₩5,500. **The complaint about a warm glass belongs to a post about the shop next door, so we did not count it here.**

• 하이볼2 ate it
  haibol

  One of the few drinks here that is not draft beer; one writer had a cinnamon highball.

  No prices given. Writers also mention soju, makgeolli and bottled beer on the list.

Parking

2 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Not one writer parked a car. Two mention that the shop has no parking, but one is a bullet in a header block and the other is hearsay — "they say even the public car parks nearby are hard to get into." Since nobody drove, we do not know what parking costs or where you would leave a car. Getting there by train, on the other hand, is well covered: two to eight minutes' walk from exits 3 and 4 at Euljiro 3-ga, and one writer clocks it at 183 metres.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

The shop uses three levels of one building. It is registered on the ground floor and you walk in from the street. Above that is an indoor second floor, and another flight of stairs reaches the roof — one writer says the shop "runs from the first floor up to the third-floor rooftop"; another that the climb feels like three storeys. Nobody writes about any way up other than the stairs — the word lift does not appear once in anything we read. One writer warns that at a second-floor window seat, cigarette smoke drifts up from below.

Nobody writes about getting in with a wheelchair or a pram. Not one of the posts we read contains the words wheelchair, pram, ramp, threshold or step. That is not a no — it is that we do not know. What the posts do show: almost everyone sits on the roof, and the only route up anyone describes is the staircase. One family with children was sent up to the roof, and even they call the way up simply "the stairs."

There are toilets on the roof and on the second floor. One writer found separate men's and women's on the roof and passes on the tip: if the rooftop queue is long, go down to the second floor. Another says that at most outdoor drinking spots the toilet is the worst part, and that having one on the roof spares you the trip down; a third was glad of a smoking area up there too. Against that, two writers say the queue grows after seven in the evening, and one waited fifteen minutes. No writer says anything about how clean they were.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 22 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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• Which door you walk through is the hardest thing about this place. Four shops in this lane carry the name Manseon Hof: the chain's head shop on Euljiro 13-gil, this one at 14 Chungmuro 9-gil, Manseon Hof 2 at number 12, and Manseon Hof 9 at number 16. One writer paid cash and watched the change fetched from the Manseon next door. And the whelk bar beside it shares this shop's street address exactly — the address alone will not tell them apart. This is the one with the yellow sign and the rooftop.
• The street tables are not always out. A writer who arrived at 5:40 on a weekday evening in July 2025 found none and was thrown by it; another, on a Saturday evening in March 2026, saw tables outside the other shops but none outside this one. Both were sent up to the roof instead. Others did find them: one watched them go out after six, another describes street tables at ground level. No one explains what decides it — one writer wonders aloud whether it is the building site next door.
• Hardly anyone records the opening hours, and the two who do disagree. One post gives noon to midnight, the other noon to three in the morning, every day. The rest write "no hours listed," "nothing given," "ask the shop" — the people who looked could not find them either. Two accounts suggest the afternoon opening is real: one writer arrived at two to find the place already busy, another watched a 2pm baseball game from the first pitch. We could not establish when it closes.
• Not one post declares a sponsorship or a free meal. Eight say outright that they paid; the rest say nothing either way. Two are worth naming: one slips shopping links for tinned whelks and beer kits into the body, and another cites an unsourced statistic — "eight in ten visitors" — while giving a pollock price that matches nobody else's. We counted them as visits and distrusted their numbers. One further post is a straight transcription of the shop's Naver listing, and we took it out of the count.
