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.

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.

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.

Susan Sadang Main Branch Review | Raw Shrimp, Mala Beef Tendon Oden & a Cozy Bar Near Sadang Station

Susan's Sadang main branch is a bar with an open-air feel on the first floor and atmospheric basement seating. The raw shrimp was ₩58,000 and the mala beef tendon oden was ₩40,000. The two of us ate our fill, and the dishes should also work for a group of four. There may be a wait on Friday and Saturday evenings, so I recommend making a reservation.
