을지OB베어
Retro vibes & ice-cold beer! (Eulji OB Bear – 을지OB베어) at 충무로: a true taste of old Seoul. Cheers!
Step back in time at Eulji OB Bear (을지OB베어), nestled at 충무로 49-2 1층! This isn't just a restaurant; it's a portal to a bygone era, a place where the beer is ice-cold, the peanuts are plentiful, and the atmosphere crackles with stories. Forget fancy frills – think worn wooden tables, a constant hum of conversation, and the satisfying sizzle of half-dried pollack (노가리) hitting the grill. The menu is simple, but flawlessly executed: crispy fried chicken that melts in your mouth, perfectly seasoned grilled squid, and of course, that legendary OB beer, served in frosted mugs that will have you singing a happy tune. It's the kind of place where you linger longer than you planned, chatting with friends or simply soaking in the unique Seoul charm. Forget the tourist traps; this is where locals go to unwind and enjoy life. Seriously, grab your friends and experience a taste of true Seoul history. You won't regret it! Pro tip: Order the pollack – you'll thank me later.
