Here's my honest review. ## Location and hours - 🍽️ Jeongju Ilga - 📍 66 Poeun-ro, 1F Jeongju Ilga, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 🚇 558m from Mangwon Station Exit 2 - ⏰ 18:00 - 02:00, last order 01:00 - 📌 Reservations/groups OK, takeout/delivery available, pet-friendly, Wi-Fi, gender-separated restrooms, no parking ## What does the exterior look like? I took some photos of the outside first. ![Exterior and sign of Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-04-dve0b-900.webp) ![Modern building exterior of Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-05-reoy2-900.webp) It has a clean, modern look that catches your eye even just passing by. Mangwon-dong already has so many great restaurants, and a traditional-liquor bar with this kind of vibe seems like a great addition. ![Simple menu board at the entrance of Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-06-1gngh-900.webp) ![Waitlist sign at the entrance of Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-07-q9au8-900.webp) There was a simple menu board and a waitlist sign by the entrance. We managed to squeeze in without waiting, haha. The name Jeongju Ilga is meaningful too — it means 'right, liquor, one, house,' or 'the first house selling proper Korean liquor.' Traditional liquor can feel intimidating or heavy, but Jeongju Ilga is a space where you can enjoy Korean liquor more casually. ## Interior and how to order Let's go inside. ![Interior seating and decor at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-08-1949z-900.webp) ![Clean interior of Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-09-11aly-900.webp) ![Stylish interior of the Korean bar Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-10-1i5v9-900.webp) ![Table layout inside Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-11-jf3he-900.webp) Overall it's clean and modern. I expected a traditional-liquor bar to feel old-fashioned, but the atmosphere was more stylish than I thought. Not bad for a date spot, right? Haha. ![Neatly set table at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-12-1n96x-900.webp) ![Tablet ordering guide and photo review event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-13-1wwr3-900.webp) The tables were neatly arranged, and you can order directly through a tablet ordering system. They're also running a photo review event — you get a fried Spam gift, so keep that in mind 🍳. It seems like a great place to visit with coworkers or friends, order several dishes, and drink together. Jeongju Ilga says its food is prepared with care by skilled Korean cooks 👩‍🍳. ![Basic side dishes at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-14-kj1uw-900.webp) The basic side dishes were seriously good 🥰. Honestly every item on the menu seems to pair well with drinks. ## Menu and prices ![Menu board at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-15-1rs66-900.webp) ![Menu board listing signature dishes and prices at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-16-qkm3s-900.webp) ![List of side dishes at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-17-29pf2-900.webp) ![Side menu board at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-18-1gbmh-900.webp) - Signature) Jeongju bossam ₩27,000 - Signature) Cha-dol doenjang jeongol (beef brisket soybean paste hotpot) ₩22,000 - Signature) Half-and-half jeon ₩20,000 - Hanwoo cheese yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) ₩22,000 - Bulgogi chive pancake ₩20,000 - Cheese kimchi pancake ₩18,000 - Pepperoni potato pancake ₩18,000 - Tofu kimchi ₩18,000 - Steamed clams with liquor ₩15,000 - Seafood odeng (fish cake) soup ₩21,000 The menu lineup is pretty diverse, isn't it?

I had it with soju and beer, haha. ### Half-and-half jeon This lets you enjoy bulgogi chive pancake and cheese kimchi pancake at the same time. ![Half-and-half jeon combining bulgogi chive pancake and cheese kimchi pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-20-12chr-900.webp) ![Close-up of the half-and-half jeon at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon/mangwon-korean-pub-bossam-banban-jeon-21-7za3x-900.webp) When you want to try both but can't decide, just order the half-and-half jeon :) I love that this option exists. ### Side menu There's also a wide range of side dishes, so if the main menu isn't enough, just order more! - (Available after ordering a main dish) - Dried pollock (meoktae) ₩14,000 - Steamed clams with liquor ₩15,000 - Canned yellow peaches ₩11,000 - Rolled egg ₩10,000 - Seafood ramen ₩10,000 - Bulgogi sesame bibim noodles ₩10,000 - Banquet noodles (janchi guksu) ₩8,000 - Cha-dol porridge/rice (after ordering doenjang jeongol) ₩4,000 - Cucumber salad ₩4,000 - Extra noodles ₩2,000 Jeongju Ilga offers such a wide range of traditional liquor and Korean side dishes that you might come for a light drink and end up having a full meal's worth of food, haha. ## How is it as a date or group spot? The clean atmosphere makes it a good choice for a date in Mangwon-dong, and it also works well for group get-togethers or company dinners. Reservations and group use are both available, so keep that in mind if you're planning to visit. Being pet-friendly is also a nice bonus :) Just note that parking isn't available, so if you're driving, plan ahead. ## Final thoughts Jeongju Ilga is a great find in Mangwon-dong that I came across while looking for a bar on Mangridan-gil — clean, modern atmosphere, a wide variety of Korean side dishes, and a comfortable way to enjoy traditional liquor!
