Hongdae bar for sriracha-dipped chicken thigh grill: Kkoko Land

Today I'm introducing an amazing new hotspot in Hongdae! 🔥 It's a Hongdae outdoor drinking spot with an incredibly open feel — Kkoko Land! 🍻✨

What is Kkoko Land? Hongdae's first large-scale outdoor bar

Kkoko Land is a Hongdae outdoor bar occupying the 1st and 2nd floors at 18 Wausan-ro 19-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul. This is Hongdae's first outdoor bar of this scale — seriously huge! 😲 🌇💙

The outdoor space itself is huge, so it'd be perfect for group gatherings or company dinners too! 👥 Imagine enjoying delicious grilled chicken under an open sky — doesn't that sound romantic just thinking about it?

What we ordered at Kkoko Land

At Kkoko Land we ordered the charcoal-grilled boneless chicken barbecue (salted) and the signature slush beer. 🍺 The menu was really varied — from the star dish, grilled chicken, to jjokgalbi (rib cuts) and grilled chicken neck! 😋 Besides the grilled chicken, there's also plenty of easy-to-enjoy hwachae (fruit punch), crispy fried chicken gizzard, and the distinctive Seogyo-dong kalbaengi among the anju (drinking snacks)! 🍜✨

Kkoko Land's slush draft beer: how is it different from regular icy beer?

Kkoko Land's slush beer was on a completely different level from regular icy beer, because the foam itself is a soft slush. The chilled slush beer arrived before the food! 🍻 Wow, this was seriously nothing like ordinary icy beer! 🧊 The beer foam itself was in a soft, slush form! 🍧

One sip in, it was cold enough to give me a brain freeze — exactly the kind of addictive flavor you'd crave first thing on a scorching summer day! ☀️🤤

Charcoal-grilled boneless barbecue at Kkoko Land is all thigh meat

Kkoko Land's boneless grilled chicken is made entirely of thigh meat — not a single dry piece. After a short wait, the charcoal barbecue chicken arrived looking incredibly appetizing! 😍

The fact that this boneless grilled chicken menu is made entirely from thigh meat with no dry breast at all is a huge plus! 🙌 I usually dislike dry chicken breast, so having it all be thigh meat was really great!! 💯

One bite in, the outside was crispy from the barbecue grilling and the inside was moist — it practically melted in my mouth! 🍗 The green onion kimchi served alongside was the real kicker — it was so well-fermented and paired perfectly with the grilled chicken! And that salad, you all know how good it is, right? Great for picking at between bites!

Sriracha is the best of Kkoko Land's three sauces

They also give you three neatly piped sauces, which made dipping into different flavors totally fun 💕 I especially loved the sriracha sauce! It was a little sweet and spicy — the kind of flavor that kept pulling me back!

Is Kkoko Land in Hongdae worth it? Final verdict

If you want to enjoy delicious grilled chicken and cold beer on an open outdoor terrace, definitely check out Kkoko Land, a Seogyo-dong favorite! 🏃‍♂️💨 You'll get drunk on the tasty menu, drunk on the slush beer, and drunk on the atmosphere all over again haha.
