# Gwangalli outdoor-table bar, butter octopus: Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 - By Jihye (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongbuk-meal-trail/) - Written Sep 17, 2026 - Local places › Bars › Suyeong, Busan - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a paid visit sponsorship. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongbuk-meal-trail/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeongbuk-meal-trail/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/index.md) ## In short Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 is a standing-only bar on Gwangalli's main road in Suyeong, Busan, pouring just two beers: Sapporo and Ebisu draft. At the outdoor tables in front of the shop, Ebisu draft (11,900 won) and Sapporo draft (8,900 won) were compared side by side with Ganppa's special cucumber pickles (5,900 won) and grilled butter octopus (7,900 won). A regular since the bar's Ganppa Jinsae days sums it up simply: if Gwangalli branch 1 has a long wait, walk over to Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2. ## Good to know - **Name**: Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 - **Address**: 10 Gwangan-ro 62beon-gil, 1st floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 6 PM – 2 AM (open daily, year-round) - **Parking**: None — use nearby public parking lots - **Reservations**: Available (Catch Table) - **Ebisu draft beer**: 11,900 won - **Sapporo draft beer**: 8,900 won - **Ganppa special cucumber pickles**: 5,900 won - **Grilled butter octopus**: 7,900 won - **Seating**: All tables standing, plus outdoor tables in front of the shop *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* Heading to Busan? Going to Gwangalli? Then you have to have a beer here. This is the beer spot I used to wait in line for back when it was called Ganppa Jinsae — now it's expanded into a bunch of branches and I've lost count of how many times I've been to "Ganppa Beer." > Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 / Address: 10 Gwangan-ro 62beon-gil, 1st floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea / Hours: 6 PM – 2 AM (open daily) / Parking: None (use nearby public parking lots) / Reservations: Yes (Catch Table) ## From Ganppa Jinsae to Ganppa Beer: how the Gwangalli branches grew Gwangalli's Ganppa Jinsae changed its name to Ganppa Beer and the chain has expanded massively — now you can find it not just in Gwangalli but in Euljiro, Seomyeon, Sinnonhyeon, and more. I tried it back when it was still Ganppa Jinsae, and I've since tried other branches after the name change — and I could taste that same flavor I remembered from the original at every single location. So the rule is: if you spot a Ganppa Beer sign, it doesn't matter which branch — just walk in hahahahahaha. ## Where is Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2, and what does the outdoor-table bar look like? ![Exterior of Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-01-14761-m-966.webp) Ganppa Beer's second branch just opened not far from the first Gwangalli location. ![Sign for Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 on the main road of Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-02-13xlh-966.webp) Branch 2 sits right on Gwangalli's main road, so it's easy to find even on your first visit. Perfect spot for a second round after dinner in Gwangalli! ![Outdoor patio tables set up in front of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-03-1wezt-966.webp) As the weather cools down a bit, a lot of people start looking for outdoor patio spots, right? Well, this is THE patio bar in Gwangalli! Outdoor tables are set up right in front of the store, perfect for drinks in the breeze on a cool evening. ![Japanese izakaya-style atmosphere at the store front](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-04-1ivra-m-966.webp) Even from the outside, it feels like you've been transported to a bar in Japan — doesn't it make you want to order a beer right away? ## Long wait at Gwangalli branch 1? Inside Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2, every table is standing ![Entrance to the interior of Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-05-erpbq-m-966.webp) Branch 1 always has such a long wait that I usually end up just getting beer and Busan Shack Shack oden to take out without ever trying the main dishes. But now that branch 2 has opened with a much bigger space, I finally got to try the main menu. ![Standing tables inside the larger branch 2 space](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-06-16qza-m-966.webp) Finally succeeded on try number three hahahahahahaha. If branch 1 is packed, just come to branch 2!!!!!! ![Spaced-out standing tables at Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-07-8pco6-m-1200.webp) Branch 2 has a bigger floor plan than branch 1, so tables have more breathing room and the whole place feels a lot more comfortable to eat and drink in. So if you go to Gwangalli branch 1 and it's too crowded, just come straight to branch 2!!!!!! ![Standing tables good for drinking with friends](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-08-1bqdm-m-966.webp) This isn't a quiet, hushed kind of bar — it's the perfect spot to hang out casually with friends over beer and snacks!!!! All the tables are standing, so your legs get a little tired, but the beer is so good it's worth the sore legs. ## The menu: only Sapporo and Ebisu draft beer ![Beer menu listing only Sapporo and Ebisu draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-09-5afjq-966.webp) They only sell Sapporo and Ebisu draft beer. Their attitude is basically: we'll win you over with beer alone!! And honestly, beer alone has been enough to keep me coming back who knows how many times hahahahahaha. ![Menu board listing snacks and set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-10-1htb5-966.webp) The snack menu is simple stuff that goes well with beer, making this a great spot for a second-round drink. They also have set menus — if you're getting snacks along with beer, ordering the set is cheaper!!!! ## What we ordered at Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 and what it cost ![Table spread with draft beer and snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-11-nkf8y-966.webp) - Ebisu draft beer — ₩11,900 - Sapporo draft beer — ₩8,900 - Ganppa special cucumber pickles — ₩5,900 - Grilled butter octopus — ₩7,900 ![A glass of Ebisu draft beer with a thick foam head](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-12-15nk8-966.webp) ### Ebisu draft beer (11,900 won) The foam is genuinely insane (in a good way). Drink it right after it's poured and the foam wraps your mouth softly, delivering a nutty yet clean malt flavor. Ebisu felt a bit more aromatic than Sapporo — a subtle, fruity fragrance rises up alongside that nutty malt taste, and it's really close to the Ebisu I drank in Tokyo. ![A glass of Sapporo draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-13-1bmg4-966.webp) ### Sapporo draft beer (8,900 won) There's a slightly bitter hop kick up front, and the finish is clean and crisp — it goes down lighter and cleaner than Ebisu. If you're a Heineken fan, this is probably your style. ![Ebisu and Sapporo draft beers side by side for comparison](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-14-53njh-966.webp) Every time I've come here — who knows how many times now — the one I like better seems to change day to day. On days I want something fruity and smooth, it's "Ebisu"; on days I want to enjoy that bitter hop aroma, it's "Sapporo." Basically, they're both delicious!!!!! ## How do Ganppa's special cucumber pickles and grilled butter octopus taste? ![A plate of tangy-sweet Ganppa special cucumber pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-15-f42i5-966.webp) ### Ganppa special cucumber pickles (5,900 won) Crunchy and tangy — popping one of these pickled cucumbers between bites refreshed my palate, which I loved. The flavor sits somewhere between teriyaki and soy-based bulgogi sauce, sweet and salty in a distinctive way. The menu marks it as spicy, but it's not spicy at all, so even those who can't handle heat can order it without worry. ![Grilled butter octopus served with mayonnaise](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-16-1rnw7-966.webp) ### Grilled butter octopus (7,900 won) Rather than chewy grilled octopus, this was closer to biting into lightly dried seafood — the more you chew, the more the octopus's umami comes through. The butter aroma on the octopus is strong, almost like eating butter-grilled squid? Dipping the octopus in mayonnaise doubled the richness and made it even tastier. ![Peanuts served alongside the grilled butter octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-17-5kb6c-966.webp) Every now and then I'd grab a peanut from the side, and the crunchy texture of the peanuts kept the snack from feeling one-note — it paired perfectly with the beer. ## Photo proof of another repeat visit to Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 ![Takeout beer from the Ganppa Jinsae days](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-18-14ovn-966.webp) *The day I first tried Ganppa Jinsae as takeout* The day I first tried Ganppa Jinsae as takeout. ![Draft beer enjoyed at the Euljiro branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa-19-iwlpp-966.webp) *The day I tried it when the Euljiro branch newly opened* The day I tried it when the Euljiro branch newly opened. I've been coming here since its Ganppa Jinsae days in Busan, and I'm still coming back who knows how many times since it became Ganppa Beer. If you want a Japanese-style draft beer in Korea, Ganppa Beer is a must-visit. I'm pretty sure I'll keep walking into whichever branch I come across — "Ganppa Beer." ## Where it is - Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 (간빠맥주 광안2호점) - 10 Gwangan-ro 62beon-gil, 1st floor, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 광안로62번길 10 1층 101호 - 35.1547262, 129.1183622 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%84%EB%B9%A0%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%882%ED%98%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.1547262,129.1183622,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongbuk-meal-trail/gwangalli-beer-outdoor-seats-ganppa/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
