Hongdae outdoor bar with automatic awning, QR ordering: Kkoko Land
Kkoko Land is a charcoal chicken bar with outdoor tables on Wausan-ro, between Hongik University and Sangsu stations in Mapo, Seoul. On a cool weekend evening after shopping in Hongdae, the writer ordered kalbaengi (chilled noodles with sea snails) and salted grilled chicken barbecue by QR code, watching a baseball broadcast on a big screen under an automatic awning. Both the atmosphere and the food delivered, making it a solid pick for chimaek (chicken and beer) in Hongdae.
