For an anniversary date, the table by the window came with draft beer and a non-alcoholic beer, steamed clams in sake with noodles added for 25,000 won, homemade ankimo laver chips for 10,000 won and seafood fried rice on a hot plate for 20,000 won. With one corkage-free bottle allowed and seating that runs from a 14-person group room to curtained booths and a bar counter, Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch is a solid date-night bar in Beomeo-dong. ## Good to know - **Address**: 21 Dalgubeol-daero 496-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu (Suseong-gu Office Station Exit 2), 1F - **Hours**: 17:00–01:00 - **Parking**: No parking lot (use nearby paid lots) - **Corkage**: One bottle corkage-free - **Seating**: Group room for up to 14, curtained booths, bar table, window seats - **Steamed clams in sake**: 25,000 won (noodles added) - **Homemade ankimo laver chips**: 10,000 won - **Seafood fried rice on a hot plate**: 20,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Main photo of Izakaya Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-01-7ip57-1200.webp) A Beomeo-dong restaurant find: Izakaya Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch ## Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch: a Beomeo-dong izakaya by Suseong-gu Office Station 📍21 Dalgubeol-daero 496-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu (near Exit 2 of Suseong-gu Office Station) ⏰17:00–01:00 🅿️No parking lot It's my anniversary with my boyfriend today :) So after work I really wanted to go somewhere with good vibes for dinner and a drink for once — here's where we went! Today I'm introducing Izakaya Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch in Beomeo-dong, Suseong-gu. There are so many atmospheric bars popping up in Beomeo-dong these days, but Wakoan especially felt like a little bar straight out of Japan, which was perfect for us since we're both into that Japanese vibe haha. Best of all, it's not just a drinking spot — they also have full meal options like steak, pasta, and fried rice, so it worked well as a dinner-plus-drinks visit too. > A Beomeo-dong izakaya with great atmosphere — Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch ![Exterior of Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch on a Beomeo-dong street](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-02-srtch-900.webp) ![View of the first-floor entrance of the Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch building](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-03-qquy9-900.webp) I usually come to Beomeo-dong for meals or cafés. I'd walked past this place many times before, and it turned out to be Wakoan :) ![Vertical shot showing the Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-04-1fkck-900.webp) Wakoan is actually closer to Suseong-gu Office Station than to Beomeo Station, so it's a pretty convenient spot if you're already looking for food or drinks in Beomeo-dong! ![View near the Wakoan entrance close to Suseong-gu Office Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-05-1sgnn-900.webp) We drove that day, so we parked at a nearby paid lot before heading in. Since I was driving, I stuck to non-alcoholic beer, while my boyfriend had a nice cold draft beer! ## Inside Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch: window seats and a 14-person group room Walking inside, the whole interior really brought to mind an actual izakaya in Japan! ![Interior of Wakoan with a Japan-inspired feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-06-twmwd-900.webp) ![Interior decor and lighting at Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-07-1p1uy-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged dining hall inside Wakoan](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-08-jszlm-900.webp) That said, it wasn't too dark or cramped — everything felt clean and well put together, which I loved :) ![Table seating arrangement at Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-09-1iohj-m-900.webp) ![Curtained-off private seating area at Wakoan](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-10-oko7z-900.webp) ![Bar table and window seats at Wakoan](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-11-1ja52-900.webp) There's a group room that fits up to 14 people, curtained-off seats that give you complete privacy, and a bar table too. We wanted to eat quietly while looking outside, so we took a window seat — great for just the two of us to talk. I'd recommend it as a date spot in Beomeo-dong! ![Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch snack menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-12-1t6tp-900.webp) ![Menu board listing steak and pasta at Wakoan](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-13-dwapi-900.webp) ![Menu board with Wakoan's meal options](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-14-mgw2d-900.webp) ![Wakoan's drinks menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-15-ihr6y-900.webp) ## What is on the Wakoan menu, and how does the free corkage bottle work? The menu was way more varied than I expected. True to an izakaya, there's a whole range of drinking snacks, but also steak, pasta, and fried rice dishes — I thought it'd actually be worth coming back just for a proper meal! Oh, and one more thing if you love your drinks: Wakoan lets you bring one bottle corkage-free. If you've got a favorite bottle or something you've been saving at home, this is a great place to bring it and enjoy together :) ## What we ordered at Wakoan: steamed clams in sake, ankimo laver chips, seafood fried rice - Steamed clams in sake ₩25,000 - Homemade ankimo laver chips ₩10,000 - Seafood fried rice on hot plate ₩20,000 ![Draft beer and non-alcoholic beer at Wakoan's window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-16-1yucv-900.webp) ![Table set for the anniversary date](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-17-1bvy0-900.webp) Before the food came out, we started with a cold draft beer and a non-alcoholic beer! ![A cold glass of draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-18-liyfo-900.webp) ### Steamed clams in sake with noodles added, 25,000 won For the main snack we wanted something warm and soupy, so we ordered the steamed clams in sake — and added noodles on top haha. ![Wakoan's steamed clams in sake with noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-19-1bwuo-900.webp) The clam sake stew comes already cooked through and ready to eat right away — the clams gave the broth a really refreshing kick, and it was great as a drinking snack. Having a warm soup dish on the table also made it easy to pair with everything else! Adding the noodles gave it a pasta-like feel, so it ended up being a two-in-one dish we really enjoyed. ![Broth and added noodles in the clam sake stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-20-gz1f5-900.webp) ![Scooping out the clam sake stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-21-1uamp-900.webp) ### Homemade ankimo laver chips, 10,000 won Then, as something a bit different, we ordered the homemade ankimo laver chips. Ankimo and laver chips together? I've had ankimo before with sashimi, but I was curious how it'd work with crispy laver chips, so we gave it a try. ![A plate of Wakoan's homemade ankimo laver chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-22-xxd8l-900.webp) ![Close-up of ankimo on top of the laver chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-23-wzglf-900.webp) Trying it out, the crispy texture of the laver chips and the ankimo went together surprisingly well — a light, easy dish to pick at alongside a draft beer! ![Wakoan's seafood fried rice on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya-24-1qn4x-900.webp) ### Finishing with seafood fried rice on a hot plate, 20,000 won At this point we were pretty full, but I still wanted some rice, you know? Haha, so we ordered the seafood fried rice on a hot plate. I didn't expect much from fried rice at a bar, but wow, it was actually really good haha. Ended up finishing dinner properly, nice and full! ## Is Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch a good date-night bar in Beomeo-dong? This was Wakoan, a Beomeo-dong izakaya where we had a great time on a date over drinks in a lovely atmosphere after a while. The snacks were tasty, but the vibe made it easy to just sit and talk, and apparently they're rolling out lunch and dinner specials soon! They're also planning a collab sushi menu with Jinbe Sushi, a well-known sushi spot in Suseong-gu, so I'm definitely planning to come back haha. If you're looking for an atmospheric izakaya or a great date-night bar in Beomeo-dong, I'd recommend Wakoan :) ## Where it is - Izakaya Wakoan Suseong Beomeo Branch (이자카야 와코안 수성범어점) - 21 Dalgubeol-daero 496-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 1F - 대구광역시 수성구 달구벌대로496길 21 1층 - 35.8567015, 128.6341454 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9E%90%EC%B9%B4%EC%95%BC%20%EC%99%80%EC%BD%94%EC%95%88%20%EC%88%98%EC%84%B1%EB%B2%94%EC%96%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.8567015,128.6341454,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@drip-side-bench/wakoan-suseong-beomeo-anniversary-date-izakaya/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
