Guro bar for smoked BBQ chicken and rosé pasta: Monthly Beer

I was looking for somewhere to grab a cold beer after work near Guro and found a total jackpot! It's Monthly Beer Guro Digital Complex Station Branch ..✨ The vibe was so pretty and every single snack was delicious, so I wanted to share it with anyone looking for a good Guro bar and wrote this up real quick!

₩4,000 soju/beer promotion right from the entrance

As soon as I arrived, the exterior was so clean and full of atmosphere that I felt good before I even walked in! There was a menu board and a discount event banner standing right next to the entrance so you could scan it before going in — super thoughtful..👍 And they were even running a ₩4,000 soju/beer promotion, which got me excited hehe

The snack menu is insanely huge

Looking at the standing menu board, the variety of snacks was seriously massive! Pizza, pasta, chicken, fried snacks, even soups — you could pick whatever you're in the mood for, which is a happy kind of dilemma to have.. And pizza and chicken can even be packed to go! Would be perfect to take home for a late-night snack 🍕🍗

Beer of the month: Budweiser 355ml for ₩3,900

The beer of the month banner totally stole my attention.. Budweiser Alu 355ml for just ₩3,900, is this even real..🥹 At these crazy prices these days, that felt like an oasis, and as a beer nerd, I was already sold right there

Wood-tone interior and a red-lit atmosphere

Stepping inside, warm wood-tone interior welcomed me! It was clearly kept very clean at a glance too, so I felt ready to relax and drink without worry 🍺

The back of the hall has a soft, reddish lighting that's totally optimized for Instagram-worthy shots 📸 It's cozy enough for catching up after work and also works perfectly as a date spot — definitely a certified Guro bar to know about!

Icy draft beer and complimentary snacks

The first thing to arrive after ordering was the draft beer with a crazy-looking layer of ice floating on top.. Just looking at it made me feel cold to the bone ❄️ Watching the bubbles fizz up in the glass and taking a sip, all my fatigue melted away! The pickles and pickled radish that came with it were also neatly served in cute little steel bowls.

This snack that comes as the free side dish is basically human chow.. Salty and crunchy, I demolished the whole bowl before the main food even arrived (sorry, owner, it was just too good..🥹)

Today's star: smoked barbecue chicken

Finally, today's star, the smoked barbecue chicken, arrives!! Look at how golden-brown it looks grilled on the hot plate.. The smoky aroma made my mouth water instantly. It came with a generous side of refreshing salad too, so visual score of 100 points 💯 I put on the plastic glove and confidently grabbed a chicken leg, and the meat was so tender and juicy.. Not dry at all, it melts in your mouth. Taking a bite of that smoky chicken and a sip of beer, I honestly felt like I had it all ㅜ..✨

Rosé pasta with shrimp

The second snack was rosé pasta, something I love so much! It came out in a wide pan piled high with sauce, I thought I was at a proper restaurant. The thick, sweet-and-spicy rosé sauce was loaded with plump shrimp and mushrooms, and piling that sauce over the noodles was heavenly, ahem..

And a square-dough pepperoni pizza too

And I went ahead and added the grand finale, their signature square-dough pepperoni pizza! Served on a wood tray, generously topped with pepperoni and dusted with cheese powder like snow — the visual was amazing.. The dough had a crispy, pastry-like feel so the texture was insane, and a savory aroma filled my mouth 🍕

Vibe, snack flavor, and price — Monthly Beer Guro Digital Complex Station Branch didn't miss on a single thing! If you have a get-together with friends in Guro or just want to drink with good snacks, you really need to go. You won't regret it, hehe 💖
