Compiled from 7 blog posts read in fullSources →
A basement pub in the Magic Castle building at 94-13 Eoulmadang-ro, Hongdae. You order cocktails, beer and shots at the bar and play darts, foosball or beer pong; all seven visit posts said most of the crowd was foreign. The cocktails with a stated price ran 8,000 to 10,000 won. We read 11 posts from December 2024 to September 2026, seven of them actual visits (two disclosed an invitation).

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
- Most customers are foreigners — all seven visit posts said so, one guessing over 70 percent and another describing about 30 foreign guests arriving at once on a stand-up comedy night. Several posters ended up talking or playing darts with strangers.
- Drinks read as cheap: the four posts that discussed price all said so. Listed prices were 8,000 won for a June Bug or Agwa bomb (September 2025), 10,000 for a Sex on the Beach, 35,000 for a 1.5-litre pitcher, 9,000 for a Hennessy VSOP shot, 10,000 for Patron Silver and 2,000 for water (November 2025).
- Some nights have a DJ or a show: a July 2025 visitor found a DJ playing, and a November visitor walked into an English stand-up open mic, with the dart machine switched off for it. A weekday visitor found no DJ. Claims that famous DJs come often are hearsay and not counted.

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
| In a basement | 2 of 7 posts |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 1 of 7 posts |
Two posts said you go down to the basement; one noted there are stairs but the lift is easier, and lockers by the entrance.
No post said whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or pram gets in; one only mentioned taking the lift down to B1. That means nobody wrote about it, not that it's impossible.
Nobody said whether the toilet is inside the bar or split by gender; one post said it was clean with hand soap.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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 11 posts we gathered, 4 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
- Smoking is split. A July 2025 post said the sofa area behind the bar was a smoking room and smoke drifted out, and a September 2025 post also pointed out a smoking zone; an October 2025 post called it a non-smoking pub and a September 2026 post said no smoking. We can't tell whether the smoking room was removed or the hall is simply non-smoking with a separate room.
- Things have changed: in July 2025 a Budweiser two-for-one was running; the same blogger went back in November and found it apparently over, and noticed new leather sofas and a big screen above the bar where a chalkboard had been.
- No post mentioned waiting to get in; one said weekends get packed, but nobody described a queue.
- Four posts said who they went with, all with friends. None came as a couple, with family or alone, so we can't say how it suits those.
- Two posts gave the same hours — 18:00 to 02:00, and to 05:00 on Saturday and Sunday — but both copied them from listings. No post gave a closing day.
- No post said what a night out cost in total; only per-drink prices.
- No post gave a phone number, and none said whether it takes reservations.
