Isu Station bar with mother-of-pearl tables and bingsu: Rainbow Pocha
In short
Rainbow Pocha Isu Branch is a Korean pocha-style bar and restaurant on Dongjakdae-ro 27ga-gil near Isu Station in Dongjak, Seoul, with outdoor seats on the first floor and indoor seats on the second. At a low mother-of-pearl table, this visit ordered the signature Dal-eul Pumeun Gopdoritang (spicy chicken and gopchang stew) with added rice cake and udon noodles, three or four glasses of draft beer, and old-style bingsu (shaved ice) to finish. Rainbow Pocha covers drinks through dessert in one spot, so there is no need to move on to a second venue.

A close unnie who lives near Isu Station suddenly texted me to meet up, and I was so happy I ran straight over to her neighborhood!
It's totally her turf, so while we were figuring out where to go, she suggested a pocha (Korean-style bar) that used to be a raw fish restaurant and opened up new about three months ago haha.
