The Sapporo comes topped with cream straight from the tap, paired well with butter grilled octopus, and the thin glasses made every sip go down smoother. No food order required, so it's a great spot for solo drinking or a second-round stop. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 18:00 – 02:00 - **Beer selection**: Two drafts only: Ebisu and Sapporo - **Ordering**: Check the menu and order right at entry, prepaid - **Seating**: Standing bar - **Food menu prices**: Meat-loaded yakisoba ₩9,900 / hot authentic ramen ₩9,900 / Ganppa special tebasaki (3pc) ₩9,900 / Osaka chicken ₩8,900 / fried chicken skin ₩3,900 / spicy-sweet gyoza addiction (4pc) ₩7,900 / butter grilled octopus ₩7,900 / Busan dried herring odeng ₩4,900 / real honey yogurt ₩7,900 / chewy squid somyeon ₩5,900 / Ganppa special cucumber addiction ₩5,900 / random ice cream ₩5,900 / yuzu cabbage salad ₩4,900 *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Draft beer at Ganppa Maekju in Sangnam-dong, Changwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-01-1dxax-m-900.webp) Bringing you a review of Ganppa Maekju, a Changwon Sangnam-dong bar that's perfect when real life gets overwhelming and you just want to drink alone, or when you need a second-round stop. The original Ganppa Maekju is in Haeundae, and it had been on my bucket list forever. So I honestly can't say how grateful I am that a branch opened up in Sangnam. ![Entrance of Ganppa Maekju Changwon Sangnam Hyeongje Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-02-1l9yd-m-900.webp) ## Ganppa Maekju Changwon Sangnam Hyeongje Branch hours ⏰ Open daily 18:00 – 02:00 ![Ganppa Maekju Changwon Sangnam's hip exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-03-1mtpz-m-900.webp) The exterior alone is genuinely hip. It radiates energy and style from the outside. Anyone who loves beer probably already knows this place — it's been hot since the Haeundae days, and I really wanted to visit. So thankful it opened in Changwon's Sangnam — a truly legit draft beer spot. ## Ganppa Maekju menu and how to order ![Ganppa Maekju Ebisu and Sapporo draft beer menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-04-1iz03-900.webp) Only two kinds of beer here: Ebisu and Sapporo. You get to taste real beer. You don't have to order any food to drink here, which makes it perfect for a second or third round. For your first order, you check the menu right when you walk in and pay upfront! ![Ganppa Maekju food menu and price list](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-05-ncf0q-900.webp) - Meat-loaded yakisoba ₩9,900 - Hot authentic ramen ₩9,900 - Ganppa special tebasaki (3pc) ₩9,900 - Osaka chicken ₩8,900 - Fried chicken skin ₩3,900 - Spicy-sweet gyoza addiction (4pc) ₩7,900 - Butter grilled octopus ₩7,900 - Busan dried herring odeng ₩4,900 - Real honey yogurt ₩7,900 - Chewy squid somyeon ₩5,900 - Ganppa special cucumber addiction ₩5,900 - Random ice cream ₩5,900 - Yuzu cabbage salad ₩4,900 ![Interior of Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-06-4q425-m-900.webp) ![Inside the atmosphere of Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-07-bfuwt-900.webp) ![Ganppa Maekju's Japan-like interior scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-08-12qzf-m-900.webp) ## The standing bar vibe The atmosphere is genuinely great — the hottest bar in Sangnam right now! Being a standing bar makes it feel different, and the vibe is so good it really felt like being in Japan! ![Standing bar seating at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-09-1cua5-900.webp) ![Draft beer being poured right at the bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-10-10yg6-900.webp) ## Cream-topped Sapporo draft This is a Sapporo collab store and they're serious about draft beer, so they pour it fresh right in front of you — genuinely amazing to watch. They fill it partway and then top it off with cream. Eating that straight off the top is pure bliss. Beer of a lifetime! ![A glass of cream-topped Sapporo draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-11-1hsv2-900.webp) ![Sapporo draft beer in a thin glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-12-xqkn7-900.webp) The beer was so smooth and creamy it was shockingly delicious — I finished a whole glass right away! The smooth, clean finish was a work of art. This is the kind of beer that makes you realize every draft you'd had before wasn't real draft beer. The glass is thinner than a regular beer glass too, so even the taste of the glass itself was different. I'd read that glass shape matters a lot for the taste, and it's true — the thinner the glass, the better the beer tasted! ![Decor items on the bar at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-13-1cywj-900.webp) ![Bar seats good for drinking alone at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-14-1f0vv-900.webp) There's fun to be had just looking around at the little decor pieces while drinking, and lots of people around were also there for a solo drink, so the whole atmosphere was relaxed and fun — I was so satisfied. ![Sign for Ganppa Maekju's rock-paper-scissors event](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-15-skzj7-900.webp) ![Bar during the prize game event](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-16-s8sw2-900.webp) ## Rock-paper-scissors prize game They were running an event, and I drew the losing spot at first, which was a bit of a bummer, but they said the prize doubles every time you win a round of rock-paper-scissors, so I immediately said yes! Ended up walking away with ₩8,000! Such a small thing, but as a customer it was genuinely fun and entertaining! Watching the person next to me play was funny too! ![Food being prepared in Ganppa Maekju's kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-17-y8pqx-900.webp) ![Food being made with a fire show at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-18-4p1vm-900.webp) ![Cooking scene viewed from the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-19-fer37-900.webp) ## Butter grilled octopus and an extra round of Ebisu You can watch the food being made in real time, and they even do a little fire show while cooking with real energy! We'd already filled up at round one, so for round two we just ordered one butter grilled octopus, and honestly it was such a great price and so delicious. Food prices here are generally very reasonable overall. ![Butter grilled octopus at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-20-170ub-1200.webp) ![Butter grilled octopus with Ebisu draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-21-1xccy-m-900.webp) I was so blown away by how good the Sapporo draft was that once the food arrived, I immediately ordered an Ebisu draft too! Ebisu didn't disappoint either — genuinely delicious. You get purely the fresh taste of the beer, nothing extra. Truly a beer with zero unnecessary flavors — just pure beer taste! ![A glass of Ebisu draft beer at Ganppa Maekju](https://img.superchart.com/images/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft-22-eyqpz-m-900.webp) Great atmosphere, really tasty draft beer, great food, and Ganppa Maekju's own energy is so good — this is a Sangnam bar I want to come back to for round two. ## Where it is - Ganppa Maekju Changwon Sangnam Hyeongje Branch (간빠맥주 창원상남형제점) - 10 Madimi-ro 43beon-gil, Seongsan-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, Moa Ent Mall 105ho - 경상남도 창원시 성산구 마디미로43번길 10 모아엔트몰 105호 - 35.2201375, 128.684076 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%84%EB%B9%A0%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EC%B0%BD%EC%9B%90%EC%83%81%EB%82%A8%ED%98%95%EC%A0%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.2201375,128.684076,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seomyeon-last-round/ganppa-beer-sangnam-standing-bar-draft/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
