Euljiro 3-ga pub with a certified draft beer master: Eulsam Hof

I visited Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch (을삼호프 을지로본점), an Euljiro 3-ga Station pub where you get the retro vibe of "Hipjiro" (hip Euljiro) and standout draft beer quality in one place. If you're craving a cold beer after work on a nice day, or looking for a date spot in Euljiro where you can clink glasses happily with your partner, I really want to recommend this place.

Where is Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch?

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch is at 50 Supyo-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 1st floor, near Euljiro 3-ga Station, so it's easy to reach. The standing-bar-style sign with blue and red accents catches the eye, and the whole front is glass, so you can feel the lively atmosphere inside even from the street.

Maybe word has already spread that it's a must-visit in Euljiro, because in the evening the place was buzzing with people out for a beer.

What is the atmosphere like at Eulsam Hof?

Inside, Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch feels like a retro hof (Korean-style pub), with walls covered in graffiti and nostalgic Korean pop playing. The moment you walk in, the wall full of people's memory-filled scribbles adds that friendly hof charm. A big TV screen was showing an old-school music show, so drinking beer with the music was a lot of fun.

And true to its reputation as an Euljiro 3-ga pub, there were so many details that showed how seriously they take beer.

How is the draft beer at Eulsam Hof managed?

Master Draft Manager certification

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch has a draft beer quality master certificate hanging on the wall, certified by OB Beer and the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Seeing it right there boosted my trust in the place instantly.

Max x Dr.Drink draft beer system hygiene management

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch is a Max x Dr.Drink draft beer system hygiene management store, so they say the beer lines are cleaned thoroughly. That's why you can always enjoy clean, fresh draft beer.

You can also watch staff carefully pour beer from the fridge next to the counter and the dedicated beer taps, which is a treat to watch.

What did we eat and drink at Eulsam Hof?

On this visit I had potato salad (gamja sarada) as my snack, along with Lemon Hof, Foam Foam beer, Eulsam Hof and Sulsul beer. As you'd expect from an Euljiro draft beer brand, there were plenty of signature beers and snacks to try.

🥔 Potato salad (gamja sarada)

Eulsam Hof's potato salad comes with crispy crackers prettily stuck into a rich, smooth potato salad. Put some sweet, soft potato salad on a cracker and it's hard to beat as a beer snack. It's not over the top, yet you keep reaching for more. Highly recommended!

🍺 Lemon Hof

Lemon Hof blends fresh lemon aroma with fizz, and the refreshment bursts out the moment you take a sip.

It's light and easy to drink, so it was perfect as a first glass.

☁️ Foam Foam beer

Foam Foam beer (폼폼 맥주) is a style that fills the glass with rich, soft foam. The foam gently wraps the natural taste of draft beer, and the smoothness going down was just art. As the tip on the coaster says, if you take a gentle sip before the foam settles, you get supreme softness.

🍺 Eulsam Hof and Sulsul beer

Eulsam Hof: a signature beer blended in-house, known for deep barley flavor and a smooth finish.

Sulsul beer (술술 맥주): its carefully tuned balance makes it easy to drink foam and beer together, and as the name suggests ("sulsul" means smoothly), it goes down enchantingly smoothly.

Is Eulsam Hof okay for drinking beer alone?

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch has well-equipped bar tables, so it's good for drinking solo too. It felt completely comfortable to stop by alone on the way home from work for a casual solo beer in Euljiro.

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch: overall verdict

Eulsam Hof Euljiro Main Branch has all three: the refreshment of properly managed draft beer, a retro hof atmosphere, and snacks that pair perfectly.

If you're craving a cold beer and looking for an Euljiro 3-ga Station pub to visit with a partner or friends, definitely stop by! I plan to come back for more cold draft beer.
