Where is Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road, and when is it open?

Black-and-red storefront and the red terrace tables

The moment you step up to the entrance, the bold, sensory interior grabs your attention. Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road is spread across the 1st and 2nd floors, and the exterior pairs a sleek black base with sharp red accents for a very trendy look.

Right at the front entrance there are vivid red terrace tables and chairs, creating the perfect open-air 'terrace hotspot' mood for enjoying chicken and beer in the breeze.

True to its title as a 'Goobne Beer Pub,' it feels less like a plain restaurant and more like stepping into a hip craft beer pub charged with Hongdae's young energy.

Neon-sign art wall and the bar seats upstairs

Step inside and an even more gorgeous, flashy space opens up. The interior wall features a softly gleaming, silvery 'Real Taste' neon art installation, with modern black-and-red seating arranged neatly throughout.

A large screen plays stylish visuals and upbeat music that lift the whole atmosphere even further.

The most unique spot was the bar-style seating. Behind the clean steel bar table, vivid red lighting and a 'No.1 Oven Roasted Chicken' neon sign glow brightly, with premium whiskey bottles and detailed figurines on display — it hardly feels like a chicken restaurant, more like a moody bar.

It's a fantastic setup for a date with a partner, or just to change the mood on a special day. Head up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Free Wi-Fi.

How the Goobne Original Double (29,900 won) tastes

Packaging bag for the Goobne Original Double

What I tried this time was Goobne Chicken's forever signature dish: the original oven-roasted chicken.

Chicken box with a heart-shaped key seal sticker

Even the packaging showed real attention to detail — the bag has a cute heart-shaped key sticker reading 'seal released,' boosting confidence in the product's hygiene and reliability.

The chicken box is printed with a note that says the chicken is 100% domestic, plus information about the brand's eco-friendly ESG campaign for a healthier society — it makes you trust the brand even more.

The second I peeled off the seal sticker and opened the box, the distinctive golden, savory roasted aroma of fresh-from-the-oven chicken filled the store. Since it's baked in the oven instead of fried in oil, the surface has a nice sheen but looks clean and grease-free.

Lifting a big piece of chicken thigh with my chopsticks, the outside was crispy while the inside was juicy through and through. That first bite delivers a light, savory flavor throughout the mouth — a distinctive strength of Goobne that fried chicken just can't match.

Dip it in the accompanying spicy sauce or sweet seasoning sauce to taste, and you get an even richer range of flavors. There's zero greasiness, so you can enjoy it down to the last piece without getting sick of it — a healthy, well-rounded chicken.
