Where is Incheon Beer Tiger and when is it open?

Incheon Beer Tiger is a craft beer bar at 3 Jemullyang-ro 218beon-gil, Jemulpo-gu, Incheon, South Korea, on the 1st floor of Building H at the Incheon Art Platform. It's open Tuesday to Friday from 16:00 to 24:00 and Saturday to Sunday from 13:30 to 24:00, closed every Monday.

When you're looking for somewhere to eat dinner or have a light drink around Sinpo-dong in Incheon, you want a place with good food AND good atmosphere, right? This time, instead of just eating, I wanted to relax with a nice beer, so I went to Incheon Beer Tiger.

It's a craft beer bar in Sinpo-dong, Dongincheon, so of course the beer is great — but the food was surprisingly good too, which made me really happy!

The exterior of Incheon Beer Tiger. It's right next to Gaehangjang Street — Sinpo-dong has that old-street charm mixed with newer, trendier spots popping up here and there, so it's a fun neighborhood to wander around.

Just walk through this door!

Inside Incheon Beer Tiger: the room and the stage

Inside, Incheon Beer Tiger has an open kitchen, bar seating, a mini self-serve bar, and a stage for live performances. Walking in, the vibe was so overwhelming (in a good way) that it instantly put me in a great mood.

Open kitchen with bar seating. There's also a mini self-serve bar.

The beer fridge is completely packed with drinks.

While paying, I found out they even take song requests!! This is the stage where live performances happen! So exciting~

The restroom is out past the back of the stage!

Incheon Beer Tiger menu and QR ordering

Incheon Beer Tiger uses QR code ordering, which felt really clean and easy! They have a wide range of craft beers and highballs. Lots of craft beers I don't usually get to try, so it was interesting~

For food, there's everything from pizza and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) to fries, dried snacks, and tomato caprese — hearty options and light bites both covered.

Gaehangno Lager, 7,000 won: a smooth first glass

Gaehangno Lager is ₩7,000 a glass, and we ordered two right away. I was pretty thirsty so I gulped it down cold — wow, it was so refreshing and went down so smoothly!!!

Even my friend who usually drinks beer slowly finished it in no time — it was genuinely that good!!!

Half-and-half pizza, 21,000 won: Hawaiian plus pepperoni

The half-and-half pizza at Incheon Beer Tiger is ₩21,000, half Hawaiian and half pepperoni. A can't-fail combo.

Once the food and beer landed on the table, the mood instantly shifted to 'let's really drink now.' Pizza and beer especially are a combo that's hard to mess up. Savory, salty pizza slice, cold sip of beer. Just thinking about it, it's a perfect match.

Half-and-half pizza is a great choice when you don't want to commit to just one flavor. That day, too, it was so much better getting to try two kinds instead of just one.

The pizza has a fairly light, almost wood-fired-style crust, but the toppings were excellent. Salty and savory — total beer thief.

Eating one slice then trying the other side let us compare flavors, so the meal never got boring. Especially if you're visiting with a group, everyone might want something different, so going half-and-half really widens your options.

Personally, I felt the half-and-half pizza was perfect for when you want to sip craft beer while sampling a little bit of different pizza flavors.

Live music on Saturdays only: what a Sunday visit misses

Live performances at Incheon Beer Tiger apparently only happen on Saturdays. We showed up on a Sunday evening timed for a supposed performance, but sadly they told us shows are Saturday-only? T.T

Would love to come back on a show day.

Good craft beer and pizza are already great, but adding a live performance on top would make it a much more memorable night than just coming for a drink. It'd make a fun plan if you time a visit around the show schedule for hanging out with friends or a date in Sinpo-dong. I'd recommend checking the performance schedule before you go.

Banana White and Wave, 7,500 won each: the second round

For our second round, we ordered Banana White and Wave at ₩7,500 each. The beer was so good it just kept going down easy.

Wave is delicious! Personally, Gaehangno Lager and Wave suit my taste the most — flavors I'd want to have again~

Magye brownie from the Naver review event

Incheon Beer Tiger gives out a 'devil's brownie' as part of a Naver review event. They actually give you a whole brownie~

I thought it'd just be a brownie, but it came topped with sweet vanilla ice cream — a fancy brownie! The brownie itself was chewy and sweet, seriously good enough that I'd want to buy it separately!!

Is Incheon Beer Tiger the right Sinpo-dong bar for you?

What stuck with me most after this visit to Incheon Beer Tiger was definitely the craft beer. And more than anything, I loved that it's not just a place to eat and drink — you can also enjoy live performances.

So if I come back, instead of just grabbing a beer, I'd want to time it with the performance schedule and enjoy craft beer and pizza together. If you want a slightly special evening drinking good craft beer in Sinpo-dong, Incheon Beer Tiger is definitely on my list for next time.
