Bar
Garten HOF&REST
가르텐비어 종로서울극장점 Gareuten Bieo Jongno Seoul Geukjang-jeom Garten is German for garden, so the name reads 'garden beer'; the branch is named for the old Seoul Cinema next door.
Compiled from 13 blog posts read in fullSources →
An old-style beer hall on the second floor of a building on Supyo-ro 20-gil, near exit 14 of Jongno 3-ga station. A 500cc Cass draught is 5,000 won and most dishes, from fried chicken to tteokbokki and sea-snail salad, run around 20,000 won. Each table has slots at the corners that keep your glass chilled, and that gadget plus the retro college-pub feel is why people come. We read 17 posts dated 11 December 2025 to 26 August 2026; 13 describe an actual visit, and one was set aside because it was about the Mokdong branch.

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
- All 13 visitors drank beer, and 9 of them wrote about the cooling slots in the tables. Two explain that you press the power button and then a snowflake button; the '4 degrees, no condensation' line comes from the menu. One visitor found the slot at her seat was broken only after finishing a glass, and advises checking before you sit down.
- Six posts note a free snack on arrival: puffed crackers in two, macaroni snacks, popcorn-style corn puffs and old-fashioned sweets in one each, and one also mentions chilled radish.
- All six posts that had chicken called the coating crisp, and five of them called the meat juicy. No one found it too salty; two said the seasoning was moderate.
- Seven posts went with friends and two on a date; several stopped in as a second or third round, and one group of four came.

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.

Getting inside

| Toilet inside | 1 of 13 posts |

Three visitors note it is upstairs on the second floor. One says the ground floor is a sushi bar, a large '2F' sign is on the entrance pillar, and the alley location can be confusing the first time.
No one says how you get up to the second floor — stairs or a lift — or whether there is a step at the entrance. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there is none.
Only one visitor writes that the toilets are inside and separated by sex; two other posts repeat this in copied info blocks, which we did not count.
No one mentioned: 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 16 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.

What we do not know
- One post mentions a queue: arriving early, they watched the place fill up and a line form after 8 p.m. No one recorded how long the wait was.
- Four posts give the same opening hours, Monday to Saturday 5:30 p.m. to midnight, closed Sundays (two of them copied blocks). One diary entry from September 2025 says they were turned out at 11 p.m. We do not know the last-order time.
- Prices are from posts dated June to August 2026. Only one post copied the full menu (August 2026); other posts give the same figures for draught (5,000 won), boneless chicken (22,000) and fried chicken (21,000). That post noted most dishes cost in the 20,000s.
- Three posts list the phone number as 02-2271-1300. No one actually made a reservation; group booking appears only in info blocks and suggestions.
- Five posts published 11 to 15 June 2026 share hashtag sets and phrasing that suggest commissioned copy, though none discloses sponsorship. We counted them, but treat their repeated praise as less independent than it looks.
