Bar

GYOJANG BEER

교장맥주 Gyojang Maekju Gyojang means a school principal and maekju means beer, so the name reads as 'the Principal's Beer'.

Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →

Gyojang Maekju is an indoor pojangmacha-style pub a short walk down an alley from exits 7 and 8 of Hongik University Station. The ground floor has steel tables; upstairs, tables are screened off with tarps and curtains into themed nooks (street-stall, horror, army, Marvel, camping). You order on a tablet at the table and help yourself to snacks and dishes at a self-serve bar. The most-ordered dishes were gimpitang (10 posts, 23,900 won) and the house chicken-feet stew (7 posts, 18,900 won); sides ran 4,500–9,900 won. We read 30 posts dated March 31, 2025 to October 12, 2026; one was about another restaurant, and all 29 others describe a visit. Twenty-three of them cluster between September 19 and October 12, 2026, with matching wording.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

What sets it apart

  1. The upstairs 'rooms' are booths screened by tarps and curtains, not closed rooms. Thirteen posts said there are rooms; four added that they are not fully enclosed. One post says each curtain carries a table number you quote at the till; another says drawing the curtain cut some of the noise.
  2. The free snacks are old-school crisps you fetch from the self-serve bar; 22 posts mention them, naming sunflower-seed balls, Kkoedori, seaweed crackers and jjondeugi. One post notes the sign listed seaweed crackers and jjondeugi but the bowls held sunflower balls and Kkoedori; another couldn't find the jjondeugi. A March 2025 post found squid balls instead.
  3. The chicken feet are hot. Ten posts that ate them called them spicy; one warns heat-shy diners, another describes sweating through it. One suggests pairing with the milder gimpitang or steamed egg; two recommend adding bean sprouts (1,500 won) from the start.
  4. Ordering is by tablet or kiosk at each table, per 15 posts. One post says the top of the menu groups the dishes under 9,900 won, and flag buttons switch it to English, Japanese, Chinese or Vietnamese.
1 more
  1. Eighteen posts called it cheap: one ordered four dishes for under 50,000 won, another paid 49,900 won for chicken feet, steamed egg, a highball and a draught. The line about 'thirty-odd snacks under 9,900 won' is the shop's own slogan, repeated in nearly every post.

Where it is

Map showing where GYOJANG BEER 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

12 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

Second floor20 of 28 posts
In a basementyes 0 · no 14 (of 28 posts read)
Toilet inside4 of 28 posts
Separate restrooms1 of 28 posts

Seating is on two floors. Twenty posts describe the upper floor and fourteen describe entering straight onto ground-floor seating. One writer says staff usually seat people upstairs first; one was sent upstairs because the ground floor was nearly full, another sat downstairs by the window because upstairs was full. Four posts mention climbing stairs to the upper floor; none mentions a lift.

We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or pram can get in — nobody wrote about it. Four posts say the entrance is a black door at the end of the alley and the upper floor is reached by stairs.

Four posts say the toilet is inside the bar, one placing it right beside the counter; one says it is split by gender and clean. Nobody said whether it is cramped or accessible.

No one mentioned: 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.

What we do not know

  • Prices have shifted: gimpitang went from 24,900 won (March 2025) to 23,900 (from August 2026); the dakbal universe from 23,900 (December 2025) to 24,900 (September 2026); draught beer from 2,500 won (March 2025, size not stated) to 3,500 for 300cc from December 2025. Only two posts gave a total bill, both around 40,000–50,000 won for two.
  • Many posts follow one template: 23 posts from September 19 to October 12, 2026 repeat the same keywords and slogan, yet only three disclose sponsorship or a reviewer program. A February 2026 post only thanks a 'kind opportunity'.
  • No post describes waiting for a table. A March 2025 post claims weekends always have a queue but does not say the writer waited. Two posts found one floor full and were seated on the other; three said food came out quickly.
  • Twelve posts walked from the station — 179 m from exit 7 or two to five minutes from exit 8. Two got briefly lost in the alley; three say to look for the large crescent-moon light out front.
  • Twenty-five posts list opening hours, all copied from listings. Most agree it closes at 1 a.m. Monday to Saturday and midnight on Sunday, but the opening time splits: 5:30 p.m. in 18 posts, 5 p.m. in 7 — and all three posts before August 2026 said 5 p.m. Two say it never closes; one says it shuts for Lunar New Year.
  • Many posts copy the phone number 0507-1349-6594, but none describes calling or booking. One says to ask staff for the upstairs group seating.
