I hate going to work but honestly just glancing up at the sky puts me in a good mood, haha. Good weather really does put you in a good mood. Last week I ate a ton because of all the get-togethers, so this week I'm resetting and getting back to exercising, haha. Chuseok is coming up fast, so I've got to gain fast, lose fast if I want to enjoy the food then too, lol. This day was a beer day after a while! I went to Sin Gagye Maekju, a draft beer spot near Dongtan's Namgwangjang, and yep, cold beer was so good. Lots of side dish options too, and the place is spacious, so let me introduce it. ![Exterior of Sin Gagye Maekju in Dongtan Namgwangjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-01-x111b-900.webp) ![Sign of Sin Gagye Maekju Namgwangjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-02-1qa89-900.webp) ![View of the alley near the food street entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-03-2kgf2-900.webp) ![가게 앞에 붙은 안주 메뉴 안내](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-04-1nv36-900.webp) ![Entrance and lighting at Sin Gagye Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-05-1n2bj-900.webp) ![Sign outside showing business hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-06-ejp2u-900.webp) ![Night view of the bar street in Dongtan Namgwangjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-07-15tx4-900.webp) ![Front door of Sin Gagye Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-08-vk4yc-900.webp) ## Sin Gagye Maekju Namgwangjang: location, parking, and hours Sin Gagye Maekju's location is one alley in from the main street of Namgwangjang, right at the entrance to the food street. If you've been around here, you've probably walked past it! There's a claw machine shop right in front, so the area is really bright, haha. Arriving outside, the sign reads Sin Gagye Maekju in big letters. Most people probably won't drive since they're heading out to drink, but if you do, there's a public parking lot right next door! Both Namgwangjang and Bukgwangjang have well-set-up public parking, which is convenient, haha. Peeking at the side dish menu posted outside made me even hungrier, lol. Sin Gagye Maekju in Dongtan's Namgwangjang is open from 5pm to 3am. Last order is at 2am. Since it's open so late, it's also a great spot for a second or third round. ## Interior vibe, and yes, local currency works Wow, o_O, walking into Sin Gagye Maekju there were really a lot of customers. I guess everyone's out drinking beer a lot in summer!! Still, the interior is spacious enough to fit a lot of guests, and it's great for group visits. There's also a screen on one side, so it looked like a great spot to watch a baseball game or other sports match with a beer! The inside was cool and comfortable, just right for drinking, haha. The music wasn't too loud either, so it's good for chatting. Sin Gagye Maekju accepts local currency — since it's in Hwaseong, Hwaseong Pay works! ![Spacious interior of Sin Gagye Maekju full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-09-110o5-900.webp) ![Seating area with a screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-10-1nezn-900.webp) ## Sin Gagye Maekju Namgwangjang menu Here's the menu and prices at Sin Gagye Maekju. Personally, whenever I go drinking I always check out the side dishes, and Sin Gagye Maekju has so many good ones, haha. The signature menu is the premium mukdae (dried pollack)!!! Mukdae really is the best beer snack, haha. It's popular because you can keep eating it even when you're full. There's also hanchi (baby squid), jwipo (dried filefish), and agwipo (dried monkfish) — lots of dried seafood options. There's also a wide variety of cooked side dishes. - Chadol beef with minari and mung bean sprout stir-fry - Charcoal-grilled chicken feet - Sindo spicy fish stew - Nagasaki jjamppong - Broth-based tteokbokki - Pork cutlet kimchi nabe - Budae jjigae hot pot Plenty to eat even if you show up starving, haha. And of course there are lots of fried dishes! Everything from chicken to fried shrimp and various fries. There's even sherbet to cool off with. And of course, the drinks can't be missing. Cream draft beer, Kozel Dark draft, highballs, and other tasty drinks. Every order goes through the tablet at the table. ![Menu page for dried seafood side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-11-159kw-900.webp) ![Cooked side dish menu with prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-12-uan69-900.webp) ![Fried food menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-13-1lqay-900.webp) ![Drink menu with draft beers and highballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-14-8hzyq-900.webp) ![Tablet ordering screen at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-15-snyjg-900.webp) ![Detailed side dish menu at Sin Gagye Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-16-1ajc8-900.webp) ![Menu board and table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-17-u0vec-900.webp) ## Kozel Dark draft and cream draft beer Gotta start with draft beer before the main side dish arrives! ha. First round at Sin Gagye Maekju: cream draft beer and Kozel Dark draft to start! They gave us fried gunppang (hardtack biscuits) as a basic side, perfect for snacking while drinking. Guys, do you see the cinnamon powder on the Kozel Dark?!! Wow, it's rare for a place to be this generous with it!! Loved it, haha. Kozel Dark is definitely sweet and delicious, and the cream draft is smooth thanks to the cream on top. Chat away and one glass disappears in no time!! ![Kozel Dark draft topped with cinnamon powder next to a cream draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-18-vo89e-1200.webp) ![Close-up of a cream draft beer glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-19-1amqt-900.webp) ![Basic side dish of fried gunppang biscuits](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-20-20wtd-900.webp) ![A glass of Kozel Dark draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-21-3bkwq-900.webp) ![Late-night beer hall in Dongtan Namgwangjang: Sin Gagye Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-22-1d2xx-900.webp) ## Premium mukdae, ₩18,900 Soon after, the main dish came out! This is what I ordered at Sin Gagye Maekju in Dongtan's Namgwangjang! Premium mukdae for ₩18,900. The premium mukdae isn't just plain dried pollack — it's Sin Gagye Maekju's specially seasoned and aged version. It comes with crispy skin too, which I picked apart and ate later, lol. It comes with two sauces: one is the classic gochu-mayo soy sauce that pairs perfectly with mukdae, and the other is a spicy sauce. The mukdae came pre-torn into easy pieces, so it kept disappearing into my mouth nonstop, haha. So crispy, and it really goes well with beer!! Dipping it in the spicy sauce every so often cuts right through the richness too. ![Premium mukdae served with two sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-23-13a8b-900.webp) ![A plate of cheese sticks and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night-24-ytsd3-900.webp) ## Cheese sticks + fries, ₩8,900 While eating the mukdae, I added one more menu item! Ordered cheese sticks + fries. Price was ₩8,900! Drinking beer really does make you crave fried food, haha. The cheese sticks come 8 to an order, and eating them hot meant the cheese stretched out beautifully — great dipped lightly in ketchup. Eating like this just makes you order more beer, lol. It's so good you get stuck in an endless loop. This day at Sin Gagye Maekju in Dongtan's Namgwangjang was such a fun time, I'd love to come back. ## Where it is - Sin Gagye Maekju Namgwangjang (신가게맥주 남광장점) - 9 Dongtanjungsimsangga 1-gil, Room 103-104, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄중심상가1길 9 103, 104호 - 37.2004851, 127.0721155 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%A0%EA%B0%80%EA%B2%8C%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EB%82%A8%EA%B4%91%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.2004851,127.0721155,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-meal-routes/dongtan-nam-plaza-draft-beer-late-night/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
