Songpanaru Station bar with big screen and regional soju: Ilwolui Bam

Ilwolui Bam (일월의밤) is a Korean pub of about 80 pyeong (roughly 265 m²) on the second floor of a building in the Bangi food alley, near Songpanaru Station in Songpa, Seoul. On an early-evening visit, the blogger looked around Ilwolui Bam's spacious hall with its big screen, checked out the regional soju such as Daesun and Good Day and the Neurinmaeul makgeolli line-up, and ate Chikoba chicken with self-made chibap (chicken rice) and corn jeon (corn pancake). With a long menu and a wide range of drinks, Ilwolui Bam suits group dinners where everyone's tastes differ.
