Record Pizza Gangnam Station Review | A Sports Pub for Pizza, Beer, KBO Baseball and Soccer

Record Pizza Gangnam Station is a sports pub with large TVs throughout, making it a handy spot for pizza and beer while watching baseball or soccer. The large, thin-crust pizzas, sausages and buffalo wings paired well with beer, and a 600 ml Hanmac draft was good value at KRW 5,900. The restrooms and amenities were well maintained, and I recommend booking through Naver for group visits or major matches.

Ujeongguk Bangi Review: An Atmospheric Jamsil Bar for Dates, Toowoomba Tteokbokki and Chilled Pork

With red lighting and retro décor, Ujeongguk Bangi is a lovely Jamsil bar for a drink on a date. The tender chilled pork and thick, spicy beef bulgogi Toowoomba tteokbokki paired beautifully with soju, and the sugar-dusted egg toast was a tasty finish. The restroom is shared and located inside, parking is unavailable, and Friday and Saturday evenings can fill up, so we recommend booking or calling ahead.

Crazer Coffee Hotel Kyle near Sadang Station: A Café for Studying and Group Projects

Crazer Coffee near Sadang Station is a spacious café with tables for four and group seating for up to 12, making it a good choice for studying or group projects. On the weekday evenings I visited, plenty of seats were available and the atmosphere was generally quiet, with desserts such as crepe cakes and other cakes on offer. Both the iced café latte and hot Earl Grey tea tasted great, and the café has separate men's and women's restrooms as well as an indoor smoking room.

Suljuyu Near Nakseongdae Station: A Cozy Bar Review | Paid for Ourselves · Food and Drinks · Date Night

Suljuyu near Nakseongdae Station has softly dimmed lighting and a cozy setting that suits catch-ups with friends and dates. The spicy gochujang stew felt a little hotter than Shin Ramyun, and we also enjoyed the pre-cut yuringi chicken and boneless chicken generously coated in lemon cream sauce. There was no wait on Saturday evening, the bar was busiest around 8 PM, and the restrooms are in a building outside the bar.

Wooridongne Susan Sijang sashimi restaurant near Suwon KT Wiz Park

Wooridongne Susan Sijang near Suwon KT Wiz Park | Autumn Gizzard Shad Review

At Wooridongne Susan Sijang beside KT Wiz Park, we enjoyed thick-cut gizzard shad and flounder, generous side dishes, and squid fried crisp outside and tender inside. The spacious second-floor dining room appeared to have about 15–20 four-person tables, and the breezy window seats overlooking KT Wiz Park were our favorite. There are indoor restrooms and smoking areas, but no dedicated parking, so consider the nearby Jangan-gu Office parking lot.

Beef tartare with octopus thumbnail for the Hampyeong Yukhoe Sadang Station review

Hampyeong Yukhoe Sadang Station Review | Paid for Myself · Beef Tartare with Octopus · Crispy Chive Pancake · Clear Beef Blood Soup

The beef tartare with chopped octopus at Hampyeong Yukhoe Sadang Station was fresh and delicious, and I loved the unlimited refills of both the beef blood curds and the clear broth. The sliced raw beef was already sold out around 8–9 PM on Saturday, so I recommend arriving early if that is what you want to try. The softly lit interior also felt suitable for a date, and since we had encountered a queue on a Friday evening, I recommend reserving a table ahead of time.

Noksadari Café Review near Noksapyeong Station | A Café by Noksapyeong Overpass, the Itaewon Class Bridge

Noksadari Café near Noksapyeong Station is close to Noksapyeong Overpass, the bridge featured in Itaewon Class with a view of N Seoul Tower. We enjoyed the Legacy Cheesecake with blueberry jam, along with the understated wood-toned interior and outdoor tables that are lovely in cool weather. After coffee, you can walk three minutes to Noksapyeong Overpass to admire N Seoul Tower and take photos.

456 Pocha near Gangnam Station is a large bar with indoor seating, an indoor area with an outdoor street-bar feel, semi-private rooms, and a separate annex, making it a good choice for work gatherings or a second stop after dinner. The food selection is extensive, and the mussel soup and spicy sea-snail salad with thin noodles we ordered were tasty and easy to share.
