Compiled from 10 blog posts read in fullSources →
A beer hall on a side street in Seogyo-dong (Yanghwa-ro 15-gil 16), between Hongik Univ. and Hapjeong stations. It serves 'snow beer' topped with shaved frozen beer (5,500 won), chicken skewers (4,000 won as of November 2024) and fried snacks, and its large room makes it a common second stop after group dinners. We read 14 posts from November 2024 to August 2026; 2 turned out to be about other places, and 10 describe actual visits.

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
- Four posts called it spacious. One was surprised by how many tables there were; another describes a 23-person office party moving here because it could seat them all.
- Four posts came in a group and six with friends. One labor-law firm brought its staff here for the second round twice, in June 2025 and March 2026, once calling ahead to move a party of more than sixteen.
- Two posts mention free shrimp chips on arrival; a repeat visitor said they were sometimes greasy.

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 | yes 0 · no 1 (of 10 posts read) |
|---|
One post mentions the floor: it is on the ground floor.
We do not know whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. Nobody wrote about it.
We do not know where the restroom is or whether it is separated by gender. Nobody mentioned it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the 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 12 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
- A November 2024 visit noted no fried chicken on the menu; a July 2026 writer ate boneless thigh-meat chicken. Chicken seems to have been added somewhere in between.
- Two 2026 posts copy the same opening hours: daily 4 pm to 1 am, last order 12:30 am. A December 2024 post copied a Sunday closure and said the place actually closed at midnight, with a closing call around 11:50 pm. We could not confirm Sunday opening.
- One post describes the approach: a bit of a walk from Hongik Univ. station and closer to a bus stop. Nobody gave an exit number or walking time.
- No post says anyone waited, or explicitly that they walked straight in. We do not know about queues.
- Only a few menu prices were given (snow beer 5,500 won, cream draft 5,000, clam soup 19,900, fries platter 15,900, skewer set 19,800). Nobody reported what a visit cost per person.
- The phone number 02-336-0337 appears in one post, copied from the listing. One group called ahead, but no post says whether reservations are formally taken.
