Bar

Bokdal Pocha

복달포차 Bokdal is short for the registered name Bogi inneun dal, 'a moon that holds good fortune'; pocha means a casual Korean drinking spot.

Compiled from 6 blog posts read in fullSources →

A hookup-style pocha on Jandari-ro in Hongdae's club district. You pick one free starter from six (gochujang beef tartare, chestnut tiramisu, chocolate-shell frozen yogurt and others), and the brass coins handed out at the door buy dalgona and marshmallows you make yourself. Posted prices include fried chicken skin at 9,900 won, rose tteokbokki at 18,900 won and a cheese gopdori stew at 24,900 won. We read 10 posts from April 2025 to October 2026; 2 were about other places, and 6 describe a visit, 4 of them from April 2025, right after opening.

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

  1. All six visit posts mention the free starter: one pick from beef tartare, chestnut tiramisu, chocolate-shell frozen yogurt, sundae soup, chicken porridge or cold kimchi noodles. The frozen yogurt was picked most, by three posts; one found the noodles sold out.
  2. Five of the six visit posts call it cheap, one noting dishes under 20,000 won. The self-made rice ball was 3,900 won in both April 2025 and June 2026. One post shows a 64,200-won bill for two: the stew, rice balls and six bottles of soju.
  3. Two posts mention phone charging: one a charging spot under the table, one power banks for loan.

Where it is

Map showing where Bokdal Pocha 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

Second floor4 of 6 posts
In a basementyes 0 · no 1 (of 6 posts read)
Toilet inside3 of 6 posts

Four visit posts describe going up to the second floor, two of them by the stairs; one says the bar spans both the first and second floors.

No post mentions a step at the door, wheelchairs, strollers or an elevator. Two posts say they took stairs to the second floor. This means nobody wrote about it, not that access is absent.

Three posts say the restroom is inside. Separate men's and women's rooms appear only in copied info blocks, so we did not count them.

No one mentioned: 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, 2 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

  • Distances like 420 m from Sangsu Station exit 1 are copied from maps; no post describes the walk itself.
  • No post says they waited. One walked in around 7 pm on a Sunday and saw a line form right after. Reservations appear only in copied info blocks, one of which says phone bookings are not taken.
  • Two posts went with friends, one with a boyfriend, one with a younger cousin. With six visit posts we can't say who the typical crowd is.
  • All six visit posts list the same opening hours, 5 pm to 8 am daily, but every one copied them from an info block. None gives last order or closing days, and most posts date from April 2025.
  • Three posts give the phone number 0507-1351-8349 and one gives 010-5592-7807. A June 2026 info block says reservations go through Naver or Instagram DM, not by phone.
  • The six visit posts follow one template: an address/hours/phone block, the six-starter list, the three coins, and repeated 'Hongdae bar' keywords. None discloses sponsorship, but they may be promotional, so weigh the praise accordingly.
