Hongdae indoor camping for team workshops: table fee, BYO meat: TAGE

What is TAGE Indoor Camping like?

TAGE Indoor Camping Hongdae Main Branch is a place in Hongdae where you can grill meat with a camping feel, indoors and without worrying about the weather. If you want to grill meat in a different kind of atmosphere in Hongdae, take note! I visited TAGE Indoor Camping, where you can enjoy that camping vibe whatever the weather.

You can grill pork belly, sing karaoke and enjoy all sorts of other things to do, so it has a charm quite different from an ordinary restaurant. It's a good place to visit if you're looking for an unusual Hongdae date spot or want to spend special time with friends.

What I liked is that you get your meal and your leisure time in one go, with a camping mood. Especially nice: you can use it on rainy or cold days without the weather getting in the way. Outdoor camping can feel like a burden because of the weather and all the gear, but here you can enjoy the camping atmosphere indoors, comfortably.

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for things to do in Hongdae, and also to people searching for a spot for a company workshop, an indoor outing or a group dinner. A group can grill meat and play games together, so it looks like a much more varied time than a gathering where you just eat and part ways. If you're looking for a space that lots of people can enjoy together, it's worth keeping an eye on.

How much is the pork belly at TAGE, and what comes with it?

My group ate pork belly at TAGE Indoor Camping. Grilling the meat ourselves in a campsite mood was a different kind of fun from eating at a regular restaurant. It's great for chatting while grilling with the people you came with, and I liked that you can eat in such a relaxed atmosphere.

The pork belly sold at TAGE is ₩9,500 per serving, taking the table fee into account, and the fresh pork belly prepared that day is ₩14,500 per serving, with vegetables and other needed items included, I was told. If you bring takeout food, you only get a seat, and if you bring your own meat, you need to rent a grill and buy butane gas, so check before you go.

What are the table fee and alcohol rules?

The table fee at TAGE is ₩40,000 per table, and you can bring wine or liquor by paying ₩15,000 corkage per table of 4. There are a few things to watch out for. The table fee is ₩40,000 per table, and some places offer a ₩10,000 discount, so I recommend checking before you book or visit. If you bring wine or liquor, corkage is ₩15,000 per table of 4, and there is no limit on quantity, I was told. However, soju, beer and drinks sold in the shop are not allowed in from outside.

• Table fee: ₩40,000 per table (check for a discount before visiting)
• Wine and liquor: corkage ₩15,000 per table of 4, no quantity limit
• Soju, beer and drinks sold in the shop: no outside items
• Takeout food: seat only
• Bringing your own meat: grill rental and butane gas purchase needed

What can you do at TAGE besides eat?

TAGE has Netflix, YouTube, karaoke, board games, Nintendo and game consoles. Another charm of TAGE is that it's not just about the meal; there's a lot to play with too. Inside the shop you'll find Netflix, YouTube, karaoke, board games, Nintendo, game consoles and more. Especially, you can use the karaoke freely, so there's no chance of getting bored after the meal.

Is it good as an unusual Hongdae date or party room?

With friends, it's great for board games or Nintendo, and with a partner you can eat meat and play games for a special date. So it suits people looking for a Hongdae party room, or anyone tired of ordinary dates. Since you can handle both the meal and the fun in one place, I'd recommend it as an unusual Hongdae date course.

Why TAGE works for a company workshop or group dinner

Lots of people can grill pork belly and enjoy karaoke and games together at TAGE, so it works well for company workshops, indoor outings and group dinners. Above all, I was impressed that it's so easy to use for a company workshop, indoor outing or group dinner. A crowd can gather, grill pork belly, and enjoy karaoke and games, which looks great for bonding. Outdoor activities depend a lot on the weather, but an indoor campsite has the advantage that you can hold a gathering relatively comfortably even on rainy or cold days.

If you want a slightly more special team dinner with colleagues, or you're looking for a workshop venue the team can enjoy together, it's worth considering. It's not just a place to eat but a space to play and have fun together, so I think it would liven up the mood of the gathering. From friend get-togethers to company events, it's a camping restaurant that suits many purposes.

If you're looking for something different to do in Hongdae, try the camping vibe, pork belly and all kinds of games together at TAGE Indoor Camping. You can use it for a date, a get-together with friends or a company group dinner, which makes it all the more appealing.
