Sangam DMC izakaya with open 2nd-floor windows and warm sake: Hanamato

Hanamato Sangam DMC is a Japanese-style izakaya near Digital Media City Station in Mapo, Seoul. On a round-two visit at a 2nd-floor window seat, the writer paired butter-grilled scallops (12,000 won) and a 5-skewer yakitori set (13,000 won) with 300ml of warm sake (5,900 won), and the sake was good enough to add a 750ml bottle of Shochikubai junmai (35,000 won). With the windows thrown open, Hanamato's 2nd floor feels like an outdoor street bar and is a great spot for an evening of sake.

Soju was 3,500 won, and the set came with kimchi jjigae and steamed egg. With a menu that runs from pork to beef, Gogigupneunsaramdeul suits a group dinner near Seoul National University Station.

Dangsan pub for half-glass pours of 29 draft beers: Long Time No See

Long Time No See Dangsan Branch is a self-tap pizza-and-beer pub near Dangsan Station Exit 12 in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, where you tag a wristband and pour your own draft beer. The writer stopped by for a second round after dinner, ordered one bulgogi pizza and poured half glasses of whichever of the 29 beers looked interesting. Because Long Time No See Dangsan Branch charges only for the amount poured, it suits anyone who wants to compare several draft beers without worrying about the bill.
