Hongdae pizza pub for a group of four: Raymond Set at Raymond's

If you're hunting for a pizza-and-beer spot in Hongdae, I highly recommend Raymond's Hongdae, a pizza and craft beer place. The hip American pub vibe and the clean, good-looking food make it perfect for going with friends! Here's a quick summary of what I actually felt when I went!

Where is Raymond's Hongdae, and what are the hours?

Raymond's Hongdae is at 15 Yanghwa-ro 18an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the first floor, about a 3-minute walk from Exit 8 of Hongik Univ. Station. It's open daily 12:00–24:00, and until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, I heard!

How does the Catch Table waitlist work?

There's a Catch Table at the entrance, so registering is easy. Tables turn over fast, so you get seated quickly.

Atmosphere at Raymond's Hongdae

Overall it's an American pub style that's hip yet comfortable, perfect for casually grabbing a beer.

Open kitchen

The kitchen is open and airy, so you can watch the chef bake pizza in a huge oven and grill things right in front of you, which makes you trust the place.

Ordering by tablet

Every table has a tablet ordering screen, so you can browse and order without the pressure of ordering face to face. Totally the best!!

Raymond's Hongdae menu

The menu centers on good-value set menus and a professional craft beer lineup. From single slices to a whole giant pizza, just pick whatever suits you.

Best of all, you can taste craft beer from a brewmaster who has swept medals at world competitions, I heard!! You can order easily on the table tablet and really enjoy the pizza-and-beer pairing.

Which pizzas come in the signature Raymond Set?

The moment the Raymond Set's giant pizza hits the table, the size overwhelms you. I stretched out my hand to compare, and one slice is way bigger than my whole palm! It's a pass on looks alone.

Loaded toppings and chewy crust

The crispy, chewy dough is piled with toppings that coat every bite with flavor.

Three flavors: bacon Hawaiian, pepperoni and mac & cheese

The Raymond Set pizza is a fantastic three-flavor combo: sweet-and-salty bacon Hawaiian, savory pepperoni, and a pizza overflowing with thick, gooey mac & cheese. Umami explosion in your mouth!! It's neat and easy to eat, so it's perfect as a group meal.

Raymond Set side platter: chicken, sausage and truffle fries

The Raymond Set also includes boneless chicken, juicy grilled sausage, and truffle fries sprinkled with cheese powder, which are the best with beer!! Five or six sauces are neatly set out, and you never get bored, so it's a perfect finish.

Is Raymond's Hongdae good for a group of four?

Raymond's Hongdae is a top spot where you can enjoy high-quality world-champion craft beer and pizza of overwhelming scale at the same time! Four of us ordered just one Raymond Set and still got a full course of chicken, sausage, fries and a giant pizza, so value and satisfaction were honestly record-breaking!!! If you're looking for a proper pizza-and-beer place or group spot near Hongdae, I strongly recommend going!!

On top of that, the friendly staff and the hip music kept my energy up the whole time I was there. It's a place anyone, young or old, can enjoy without any divisive picks, so I plan to come back soon with friends for more pizza and beer!
