I wanted chicken and beer so badly that I headed to a well-known bar in Daebang-dong. This place opens super early, so it's great for daytime drinking too. It's [Yukhaegong Banban Tteokbokki & Chicken Beer Main Branch]. Let's get into the review. ## Where is Yukhaegong in Daebang-dong, and what are the hours? ![Entrance to the basement-level shop near Daebang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-02-1qj8n-900.webp) [Yukhaegong Banban Tteokbokki & Chicken Beer Main Branch], a well-known bar in the Sinjil-dong/Daebang-dong area, is about 3 minutes from Daebang Station Exit 6. It's across from the Air Force Hotel, in the basement of the Ladurée bakery building. There's a little side path leading straight down to the basement on the left side of the building — go in there and you'll easily spot it on the right near the entrance. - 256 Yeouidaebang-ro, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, basement level - Open daily 11:20 AM – 2:30 AM - Parking available / group reservations possible ## What the bar looks like inside ![Retro-styled interior of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-03-1begs-900.webp) ![Spacious hall with 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-04-1v5am-900.webp) ![Bar seating great for solo drinking](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-05-1clht-900.webp) ![Seating layout suited for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-06-otgj3-900.webp) Apparently this space ran as a Bonggu Beer for 11 years. So it keeps that familiar feel while adding a new brand on top, giving it a mix of nostalgia and a wide variety of menu items. The space was bigger than I expected, with a retro feel. There were all kinds of seating — 4-person tables, bar seats, and more. It's great for solo drinking, and would also work well for group gatherings or company dinners. They said group reservations are possible too. ## Menu and prices at Yukhaegong ![Menu board listing tteokbokki and chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-07-1x3e0-900.webp) ![Menu board with grilled chicken options and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-08-v89qv-900.webp) ![Menu information posted on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-09-1j3fm-m-900.webp) ![Menu board listing side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-10-d9ae6-900.webp) ![Sign listing drinks and anju (bar snacks)](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-11-1ynfo-900.webp) - Tteokbokki (rice cake soup) ₩8,900 - Beef brisket tteokbokki ₩13,900 - Fried chicken ₩21,900 - Boneless spicy chicken feet ₩12,900 - Seasoned grilled chicken ₩21,900 - Fish cake soup ₩10,900 ## Draft beer: 1,000 won off before 4pm ![A cold glass of draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-12-ked7e-900.webp) ![A mug of draft beer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-13-fon7f-900.webp) ![Draft beer with the before-4pm discount applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-14-13n0k-900.webp) This place opens really early, so it's great for stopping in at lunchtime for tteokbokki.

They have salt, soy sauce, seasoned, and red (spicy) options, and the staff said the spicy red grilled chicken was their best, so I went with that. I worried it might be super spicy, but it was about Shin Ramyun level. If you like spicy food, I recommend it!! ![Boneless chicken thigh meat cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-17-1sgz6-900.webp) ![Grilled chicken cooking with green onion and whole garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-18-1w7lq-900.webp) ![Red grilled chicken being cooked right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-19-qb32t-900.webp) They started cooking it as soon as I ordered. It's boneless chicken, using tender chicken thigh meat. There are vegetables like green onion, cheongyang peppers, whole garlic, plus rice cake, and you can add these as options. ![Grilled chicken topped with added cheongyang peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-20-1ehwv-900.webp) ![Wheat rice cake cooking alongside the chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-21-17yeg-900.webp) ![Chicken and vegetables coated in the seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-22-1v9ct-900.webp) I love veggies so I added cheongyang peppers. I highly recommend adding the rice cake too. It's wheat rice cake, so it's soft and chewy — genuinely delicious!!! I was disappointed in myself for not adding it from the start ㅠㅠ ![The finished red grilled chicken with smoky char](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub-23-ebccw-900.webp) The sauce has that charcoal-barbecue vibe, sweet and savory, with smoky char on top — it was genuinely delicious!!! The cheongyang peppers add a little kick too, so if you can handle spice, the heat really builds up and you'll love it even more. I was very satisfied. ## Is Yukhaegong worth a visit? If you love sweet-and-savory sauce or spicy food, you have to try the red grilled chicken. It was genuinely delicious!!! For lunch, tteokbokki with draft beer, and for dinner, grilled chicken with draft beer — both combos sound great. If you're looking for a well-known bar in the Sinjil-dong/Daebang-dong area, I recommend [Yukhaegong Banban Tteokbokki & Chicken Beer Main Branch]!! ## Where it is - Yukhaegong Banban Tteokbokki & Chicken Beer Main Branch (육해공 반반 떡볶이&치킨맥주 본점) - 256 Yeouidaebang-ro, B1, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 동작구 여의대방로 256 지1층 육해공&봉구 - 37.509452, 126.9245276 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A1%ED%95%B4%EA%B3%B5%20%EB%B0%98%EB%B0%98%20%EB%96%A1%EB%B3%B6%EC%9D%B4%26%EC%B9%98%ED%82%A8%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.509452,126.9245276,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table/daebang-dong-red-chicken-grill-pub/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
