Bar
Chupa
추파 Chupa is the Korean word for an amorous glance — making eyes at someone.
Compiled from 10 blog posts read in fullSources →
Chupa is a big lounge-style bar on the fourth floor of a building on Hongdae's main strip (Hongik-ro 3-gil). You go up by elevator to a wide hall with booths and group rooms, and most posts describe parties of five to nine. Food is bar fare around 20,000 won a dish — perilla pasta with brisket, spicy webfoot octopus, cheese potato pancake — plus three-dish sets at 45,000–52,000 won; highballs are 7,500 won. We read 24 posts from March 2025 to September 2026. We set aside 10 that were really about other places (mostly Yeonhwa Jujeom in Sangam-dong) and 3 that only copied listing info or showed the address, which leaves 11 that describe an actual visit (July 2025 to August 2026).

Rows without a count: 3 of 6 posts.
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
- This is a place for groups. Four posts mention private rooms, and two say the group room holds up to 14. Another post had five people at a partitioned booth, and one described a semi-separate table for about ten. Of the posts that say who they went with, five were groups: a wedding-invitation dinner, a team birthday, and parties of five, eight and nine.
- There is a smoking room inside the bar. Five posts mention it; one notes smokers don't have to step outside.
- A free bar snack of dry crackers comes to the table. Four posts mention it, calling it crackers, biscuits or hardtack. One said the serving is huge; another found it floury and not good.
- There's no tablet ordering. A July 2025 post ticked items on a paper slip and asked staff for extras; an August 2026 post ordered from the menu through staff and found calling them every time a bit of a hassle, even with a bell on each table.

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
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 3 (of 10 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 2 of 10 posts |
| Toilet inside | 2 of 10 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 2 of 10 posts |
Nobody mentioned an entrance step or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. Two posts say they took the elevator up to the fourth floor. That doesn't mean access is a problem — just that no one wrote about it.
The restrooms are inside the bar. Two posts mention this: one says the men's and women's rooms are separate, in a back corner; the other says there were only two stalls and one was blocked. A third post says the restrooms behind the screen are split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second 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 13 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
- Prices have gone up. In the March 2025 listing and a July 2025 post, the cheese charcoal chicken was 22,000 won and the brisket stew rice 18,000 won; an August 2026 post has them at 23,000 and 20,000. The cheese potato pancake was 15,000 won on a January 31, 2026 visit and 16,000 in a February 25 post, so the change seems to fall around then. Only one post called the place expensive.
- No post says they had to wait. One mentions a huge weekend-evening crowd, and another says it was packed but they went straight in because they had booked a room. Nobody says how long a walk-in waits. Four posts mention booking ahead.
- Posts disagree on noise: one called it really loud, another said it wasn't too noisy.
- On getting there from the subway: one post says you cross at the light outside the station and it's the building next to Lush; another says it's a bit of a walk from the station, on the main strip. The figure '483 m from Hongik Univ. Station exit 9' is copied from the listing.
- Six visit posts list opening hours, all copied from the listing. They mostly agree on 6 pm to 2 am on weekdays and a 5 pm start on Saturday. Sunday is split: two say 5 pm, three say 6 pm, and one says 6 pm every day. The split doesn't follow the dates.
- Five posts give the same phone number, 0507-1303-5582. Most people booked through Naver, and one post says ID is checked at the door.
