Day drinking at a beer and pizza bar in Dongjak, Seoul: Raymond Isu
In short
Raymond Isu Branch is an American pizza and craft beer pub a 3-minute walk from Isu Station in Dongjak, Seoul. Over a daytime visit, the bacon Hawaiian pizza (₩7,900) and mac and cheese pizza (₩8,500) came in enormous slices, served with truffle fries and rose tteokbokki alongside a peanut butter ale (₩7,900) and a Belgian witbier (₩7,500), and the peanut butter beer gave off a strong, real roasted-peanut aroma. Since Raymond pours beer from 11:30, it works well for day drinking or a first date near Isu Station.

Today I visited a pizza-and-beer spot in Isu,
Raymond already has several branches and is known for great pizza, so I finally went to have pizza with beer! FYI, they sell beer from the daytime, so it's perfect for daytime drinking haha!!

It's basically a stone's throw from Isu Station!! The location is really, really good~~
What's on the menu at Raymond Isu Branch
The menu has a wide variety of pizzas plus set menus, chicken, pasta, fries, nachos, tteokbokki and more, and the biggest strength is that they sell a wide variety of beers~
The exterior was so clean, and they said they sell world champion craft draft beer, so I couldn't help but walk in as if hypnotized haha. Raymond, a sanctuary for pizza and beer where you can enjoy American-style pizza with fresh world champion craft beer! Shall we go inside?
Inside Raymond Isu Branch: seating and kiosk ordering
The inside of Raymond Isu Branch is pretty spacious, with about 10 tables!
Since it's American-style pizza, each slice is huge, and there's a wide range of pizza types!
You can order comfortably from the kiosk at your table, and there's also a reservation review event, so keep that in mind~
What we ordered at Raymond and what it cost
- Bacon Hawaiian pizza ₩7,900
- Mac and cheese pizza ₩8,500
- Rose tteokbokki ₩14,900
- Truffle fries ₩9,900
- Peanut butter ale ₩7,900
- Belgian witbier ₩7,500
First of all, the pizza size is enormous! Each slice is really big, and we ordered the Hawaiian pizza and the mac and cheese pizza — the mac and cheese was a flavor of pizza I'd genuinely never tasted before!
Drinking beer with pizza was really delicious haha. Especially drinking during the day made the mood even better! This was the first time I realized how well pizza and beer go together!
Peanut butter ale or Belgian witbier: which beer to order
At Raymond Isu Branch we ordered the peanut butter beer and the Belgian witbier, and the peanut butter beer had such a strong peanut butter aroma coming through that it was so surprising!! Personally, I'd recommend the peanut butter beer~
Truffle fries and rose tteokbokki at Raymond Isu Branch
The truffle fries came with a delicious cheese sauce and ketchup, so dipping them was really fun, and there was a subtle truffle aroma throughout! They grated cheese on top, so I kept reaching for more!! Totally perfect as a beer snack~
Lastly, the rose tteokbokki (rice cake in creamy spicy sauce) — since both the pizza and fries were rich and heavy, we ordered rose tteokbokki, and it was pleasantly spicy, which went well! It had a good amount of wide Chinese glass noodles and fish cake rice cakes, which I liked~
Ta-da~ an overhead shot!! Drinking pizza and beer near Isu Station put me in such a good mood! I'd recommend this as a pizza-and-beer spot near Isu Station, and it also seems like a great place for a blind date near Isu Station~ The atmosphere is good, and beer seems like a good way to loosen things up too!!
There's also candy for dessert, and a business card event is running, so everyone should join in~~
Is Raymond Isu Branch worth a daytime visit?
🎀Here's my quick final review🎀
- Isu Station pizza spot, Isu Station beer spot, Isu Station piyaek spot
- Recommended as a great place for a blind date near Isu Station, and near Sadang Station too (it's a quick walk over)
- Highly recommend as an Isu Station craft beer spot! Of the craft beers, the peanut butter beer is a total must-try~
