HANG OUT

행아웃 Haengaut The name is the English "hang out", spelled in Korean — which is what the place is for.

Data as of 2026-09-30 · Published 2026-10-01 · Compiled by Gilpost

Hangout is a craft beer pub down a lane of old houses in Ikseon-dong. The hanok has been opened up with tables in the yard, and on a good day people sit outside. Four beers are brewed for the house — a lager, a chestnut-flavoured stout, a vanilla stout and an IPA, with a pale ale alongside — at ₩8,000 a glass. There are around thirteen things to eat, between ₩14,000 and ₩22,000. The opening hour moves with the day: four in the afternoon on weekdays, three at weekends, and only Sunday closes an hour early. This is not where you eat dinner; it is where you go afterwards — eight of the twenty-two posts arrive here from a meal somewhere else, and two say outright that it is not a place to come hungry. You walk from Jongno 3-ga station; there is no parking. The posts we read run from January to September 2026.

The basics

5 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

What to order

• 치즈 플래터3 ate it
  cheese platter₩20,000 · ₩22,000

  The dearest thing on the food menu — one writer notes that everything except this comes in under twenty thousand won. Three ate it and liked it: the ham and mozzarella, the arrangement by type, the value it turned out to be. **One looked at it and ordered something else,** on the grounds that it was a plate anyone could put together at home.

  One post (a visit on 29 January) gives ₩20,000; another (16 February) gives ₩22,000. **We do not know which holds now** — a rise, or one of them misread.

• 오븐 치즈 떡볶이3 ate it
  oven cheese tteokbokki₩20,000

  Rice cakes under a lid of cheese, out of the oven in the pan. Three ate it and all three tie it to the beer — the sauce against the cheese, a cold lager beside something faintly hot. One party of four, already full from an extravagant dinner, ordered it anyway and cleared the plate.

  Two posts give ₩20,000 and agree.

• 칠리 프라이3 ate it
  chilli fries₩14,000

  **The cheapest of the food, and what people order when they have already eaten** — two of the three say exactly that. One notes the chips come straight out of the fryer and stay crisp; one that the chilli sauce and a salad come alongside.

  Two posts give ₩14,000 and agree.

• 모듬 소시지와 커리2 ate it
  assorted sausages with curry₩20,000

  **Two ordered it and both were surprised by it** — one wanted something heavier and found the sausages varied in texture and the curry good with them; the other, expecting the thin snacks a beer bar usually serves, found the sausages properly good, salty against the curry and enough with vegetables to need no rice. One **ordered extra baguette** to mop the curry. A fourth writer watched a neighbouring table and meant to order it next time.

  One post gives ₩20,000. Nobody prices the extra baguette.

• 살사 치즈 나초2 ate it
  salsa cheese nachos

  Two ordered it, both of them already full and looking for something light — nothing much, one says, but nachos and beer go together. **One writer got them free:** the owner sent over a plate of nachos with her sister's sparkling water.

  **No post gives a price.**

• 까망베르 치즈구이2 ate it
  baked camembert₩18,000

  Two ate it and both list what came with it — roast garlic cloves, cashews, almonds, tomato, baguette. **Both say to dip the bread in the oil that is left.** One likes cheese dishes here precisely because they go with drink without filling you up.

  One post gives ₩18,000.

• 모듬포구이 (마른안주)2 ate it
  assorted dried snacks₩20,000

  Dried filefish, beef jerky, squid, nachos and peanuts on one plate, with sauces and **tongs and scissors** to cut it up. The writer who ate it says a plate of packaged snacks is hard to rate, then notes the range, the sauce for each, and that the peanuts were real nuts rather than the coated kind. **One writer was disappointed there was no dried pollack on the menu.**

  One post gives ₩20,000, and adds that twenty thousand is a little steep — but this is Jongno, so she let it go.

• 감바스1 ate it
  gambas₩20,000

  One post lists it as a signature, one means to try it next time. The one writer who ate it found it salty and a little hot against the beer, and **regretted leaving most of it** — which suggests it is a lot for two.

  One post gives ₩20,000.

• 포켓 피자1 ate it
  pocket pizza₩15,000

  The one writer who ate it goes into detail: a crisp folded dough packed with cheddar and mozzarella, tomato sauce and meat, heavy in every bite, with pickles and hot sauce on the side. Salty enough for beer, and **the price, she says, is a gift.**

  Two posts give ₩15,000 and agree.

• 윙1 ate it
  wings

  One writer, who ordered it with the tteokbokki, says it was exactly right with beer. **Nobody gives the price, the count, or what flavours there are.**

  No post gives a price.

• 토마토 카프레제 샐러드1 ate it
  tomato caprese salad₩16,000

  The one writer who had it: caprese is the same everywhere — tomato, cheese, olive oil — and none the worse for being drunk with beer.

  ₩16,000, from a single post.

• 철판 야끼소바named in 2
  yakisoba₩17,000

  **Nobody ordered it.** One post lists it as a signature and means to try it another time; one copies out its price.

  One post gives ₩17,000.

To drink

• 행아웃 바밤바 스타우트10 ate it
  Hangout Babamba Stout₩8,000

  **The beer most of our writers drank** — a stout named after a chestnut ice lolly, ordered in ten of the twenty-two posts. Their notes overlap: three taste chestnut, three coffee and chocolate, four a sweetness that stays at the end. **Two are struck by how closely it matches its own menu description** — one calls it the best match of any craft beer bar she has been to; another simply could not believe a beer tasted like the ice lolly. One had the opposite experience: after her own sweeter stout, her partner's tasted of nothing at all.

  Three posts give ₩8,000 and agree.

• 행아웃 라거9 ate it
  Hangout Lager₩8,000 · ₩8,500

  The house lager, drunk in nine of the posts. Five call it clean, two find a faint fruitiness. One writer noticed a slightly funky smell on a bright-tasting beer and thought it curious; another drank it side by side with the Swing Lager and **could not honestly tell them apart.** Both writers who say they are lager drinkers picked this one as theirs.

  Four posts give ₩8,000; one gives ₩8,500. That one also prices the Babamba Stout at ₩8,000, and ₩8,500 is what the other posts charge for the Swing Lager — it looks like a swap, but we cannot be sure, so both figures stand.

• 행아웃 바닐라 스타우트5 ate it
  Hangout Vanilla Stout₩8,000

  **Two writers name this the best thing here** — one drank two while trying everything else once and says she would go back for it alone; another calls it her favourite beer in the place. Four describe vanilla, a creamy head and a faint coffee base; one finds it gentler than the Babamba Stout; one suggests it as a way into dark beer. **One post gives the strength as 7.6%, and that is why its writer did not drink it** — she ordered a Helles instead.

  One post gives ₩8,000.

• 댄싱사이더 애플 상그리아3 ate it
  Dancing Sider Apple Sangria₩8,500

  An apple cider. Three drank it and all three liked it: one calls it the best thing she had, strong but easy for someone who does not drink much; another found it bright; a third simply called it a very good soft drink.

  Two posts give ₩8,500 and agree.

• 스윙 라거 (Swing Lager)3 ate it
  Swing Lager₩8,500

  One writer ordered it because the menu marks it as a recommendation; one copies out its description — a fine bitterness and a breezy finish; one says the head is soft. The writer who drank it alongside the house lager could not tell the difference.

  Two posts give ₩8,500 and agree.

• 그 밖의 맥주 — 헬레스 라거 · 화이트에일 · 흑맥주3 ate it
  other beers

  Beers that come up once each: a Helles, ordered by the writer who found the vanilla stout too strong; a white ale, chosen as the fragrant one when three friends each took a different style; and one simply called "the dark one". **Nobody counts the taps,** but one writer lists lager, pale ale, stout, IPA and white ale alongside the house brews.

  No prices. One writer puts the beers as a group at eight to nine thousand won.

• 하이볼3 ate it
  highball

  Three ordered one. The writer who had the peach Earl Grey found it no different from any other bar's — reliable, if you like Earl Grey highballs; another calls it the taste everybody already knows. A third, thirsty from walking, describes the first cold mouthful as a rescue.

  **No price.** None of the three who ordered one wrote down what it cost.

• 와인2 ate it
  wine

  **Only the "today's wine" comes by the glass; everything else is by the bottle,** says one writer, who skipped wine for that reason — though another post does mention wine by the glass. Two writers drank it and neither says what: one just felt like wine as the light went, and one records that her companion ordered it.

  No post gives a price.

• 행아웃 IPA2 ate it
  Hangout IPA₩8,000

  Two writers drank it. One found the lager and the IPA distinct enough to choose between; the other tried a mouthful of her husband's and went back to lager. **Nobody describes it in any detail.**

  One post gives ₩8,000.

• 미드나잇 엠버 에일2 ate it
  Midnight Amber Ale

  **Two writers who do not know each other reach for the same image** — a spoonful of strawberry jam, in the smell and the colour both. One adds that the hops stay quiet enough to drink it like a soft drink.

  No post gives a price.

• 술 아닌 것 — 차 · 탄산수 · 음료1 ate it
  tea and soft drinks

  **Two writers note that someone who does not drink can sit here too** — sparkling water, soft drinks, and teas including Earl Grey and camomile. One actually ordered the sparkling water, for her sister. **There is no coffee:** one writer found it on the website's menu and not on the table, only tea.

  No post gives a price.

• 행아웃 페일 에일1 ate it
  Hangout Pale Ale

  One writer drank it and puts it as hoppier and more bitter than the Midnight Amber, and the better balanced for it. One other post only lists it.

  No post gives a price.

• 듀체스 드 브로고뉴 (330ml)1 ate it
  Duchesse de Bourgogne₩16,000

  A Belgian bottle. The one writer who had it describes a beer that tastes of red wine and fizzes — part sparkling wine, part beer, and odd in a way she liked.

  ₩16,000 for 330ml, from a single post.

Parking

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

There is no car park. Three posts say so and none says otherwise: no lot of its own, so take the train; parking impossible; use a municipal car park, since this is inside the hanok lanes. All three recommend public transport, and one adds that even the municipal spaces are tight at weekends. None of them names a car park — a post about a different shop in the same lane points to the one by Jongmyo, but that is not our writer speaking about us.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

Not one post says which floor this is on. In twenty-six accounts there is nothing about a ground floor, an upstairs or a basement. Ten describe the converted hanok — the exposed rafters, the low wall, the yard, the bare concrete — and none of them mentions a level. The word *stairs* does not appear once about this place (it appears about a different shop in the same lane). Two do say the room inside is wide, with space between the tables. Whether it is all on one level, we do not know.

Nobody says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair gets in. In twenty-six posts the words wheelchair, pushchair, ramp, threshold, step, stairs and lift appear not once — searched by machine and checked by hand. What we do know is that this is a converted hanok (ten posts), that there is a yard behind a low wall (four), and that there are tables outside (seven). Ikseon-dong's hanok were houses, and low door frames and a drop between the yard and the rooms are common in them — but whether that is true here, the posts cannot tell us. This is not a finding that the place is inaccessible; it is a finding that nobody wrote it down. Since getting it wrong costs somebody a wasted journey, it is worth ringing 0507-1304-3624 first.

The toilets are indoors and separate for men and women. Two writers saw it for themselves and both count it in the pub's favour — which suggests it is not a given among the hanok shops in these lanes, where narrow old houses are divided between businesses. Neither says how many cubicles there are, how much room, or whether there is a step.

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 25 posts we gathered, 3 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

• Only two posts mention the queue, and they contradict each other. One, on an April weekend, is glad not to have queued at all in a neighbourhood full of places that make you — and puts it down to the pub still being a bit of a secret. The other, in a January cold snap, says that in summer at that hour there is often no table, that she has always found it busy even arriving early, and that on this occasion the empty room filled while she was photographing it. Both can be true — a place with outside tables turns with the season. One writer did find the yard full; another was the first customer of the day at five. Nobody says whether it takes bookings. In all twenty-two posts there is no reservation and no waiting list.
• Why twenty-two and not twenty-six. We read all twenty-six posts attached to this pub and left four out of the count. One is a different Hangout — its check-in gives an address on Insadong-gil, not ours. That writer drank a grapefruit highball and ate buffalo wings, and since we serve wings and highballs too, the menu could not tell them apart. Two mention us only as a link to something else they wrote: one is a review of a café down the lane, the other a holiday date-course listing. One was not written from a visit — it pairs a Starbucks with this pub under headings reading COURSE 01 and COURSE 02, and gives our chilli fries a calorie count. Nobody can know the calories in a pub's bar snack, and there is no line anywhere saying what was ordered. Its price for the fries matches the other posts, but a correct price is not a visit. Of the twenty-two that remain, none discloses sponsorship — we checked the body text and the hashtags at the foot — four say they paid their own way, and one records that a nephew paid for the dinner and the beer.
• Sunday is where the hours disagree. Of the eleven posts that give opening times, seven give the same three lines — 16:00–23:00 on weekdays, 15:00–23:00 on Saturday, 15:00–22:00 on Sunday. One lumps the weekend together and so puts Sunday's closing an hour late. Two give only 16:00–23:00 with no day attached, and anyone trusting those two and arriving at four on a Sunday reaches a pub that shuts at ten. That is why we have not attached a day to their figure: we will not put the word "weekday" into a mouth that did not say it. Not one post gives an afternoon break or a weekly closing day. One lists all seven days with hours, but never says it never closes, so we have left the rest day empty. Nobody gives a last-order time. One thing to watch: one of the posts we read covers three businesses, and the block near its top — Tuesday to Sunday 11:30–22:00, a 15:00–17:00 break, closed Mondays, no parking — belongs to another restaurant on the same route, not to this pub. Ours appears further down the same post.
• Two things appear in a single post each, and we record them as such. The first is Kevin. One writer says Hangout greets you with "our lovely Kevin" — and neither she nor anyone else says whether Kevin is a resident animal, a member of staff or something standing by the door. A winter visitor mentions a lit-up deer and a snowman at the entrance, so the place does seem to put figures out front, but a guess is not something we can count. The second is the table for a group — one writer notes there is one inside and that a party would do well here, and one post is written by a group of five. How many it seats, and whether it can be booked, nobody says.
