Compiled from 6 blog posts read in fullSources →
The Ttukseom Station branch of the Yeokjeon Halmeoni Maekju beer chain, tucked inside the ground floor of the Seoul Forest Bizforet building, between Ttukseom and Seoul Forest stations. People come for draft beer in frosted glasses (500 or 300 ml) with cheap bar food such as ramen tteokbokki, sausages, fries and dried squid, ordered at a kiosk. Three of the seven visit posts stopped by as a second round after eating elsewhere. We read 8 posts dated February 18, 2025 to September 12, 2026; one was about a different branch in Incheon and was dropped, leaving 7 actual visits. Three of those are diary roundups that give this bar only a line or two.

What sets it apart
- It takes a little finding. Three posts give directions from the station: five minutes on foot from Ttukseom Station exit 7; turn right at the small GS25 and it is hidden on the left; the entrance is inside the building. Two posts say the shop can't be seen from the street, so look for the Bizforet building and go in.
- Two posts say you order at a kiosk, and two say a complimentary bowl of puffed macaroni snacks comes to the table.
- The only price anyone recorded is 4,500 won for the house highball (winter 2024 visit). That writer called the place very good value, but also found the sweet potato fries soggy and the chicken hearts a bit gamey.

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 6 posts read) |
|---|
One post says it is on the ground floor of the Bizforet building. No one mentions a basement or upstairs seating.
No one says whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That means we don't know, not that there is no access.
No one mentions where the restroom is or whether it is split by gender.
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.

What we do not know
- No one reports waiting. One post says the Seongsu Station branch is packed but this one is far less busy because it is hidden away. Two posts found it fairly empty early in the evening, and one of them says a crowd poured in soon after.
- The three posts that say who they came with all came with friends. None came with family, children or alone, so we can't say how it suits those.
- Only one post describes the seating, saying there are plenty of tables, enough for a group.
- Only one post gives opening hours, and those were copied from the listing: 5 pm to 2 am, until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays, last order at 1 am. Another post only says it heard the bar stays open until 3 am. No one mentions a closing day.
- Apart from the 4,500-won highball, no one gives a price, not even for a beer, and no one says what a night there cost.
- The phone number 0507-1477-9905 appears in just one post, copied from the listing. No one says whether the bar takes reservations.
