A last-minute after-work meetup turned into soju and yuja (citron) draft beer paired with dakmuchim (spicy seasoned chicken) and pepperoni potato pancake, plus a snack side dish good enough to refill. Hanok-style interior, phone chargers at every table, and a good spot for group meetups or company dinners. ## Good to know - **Address**: 서울 마포구 포은로 66 1층 정주일가 (66 Poeun-ro, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 18:00–02:00, Sat–Sun 17:00–02:00 (last order 01:00) - **Parking**: Not available - **Reservations**: Available on Catchtable and Naver for weekdays; call the store for group bookings - **Table time**: Up to 3 hours - **Ordering**: QR code or in-person ordering both available - **Service**: Free Spam fry with a photo review - **Ordered**: Soju, yuja draft beer, dakmuchim, pepperoni potato pancake *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* My friend and I caught eyes on the way home from work and decided on a spur-of-the-moment meetup 🍻 We found a seriously, seriously good Korean bar in Mangwon-dong.

I went on a weekday so there was no wait, but it looked like it'd get pretty packed on weekends. I looked it up and apparently it's even been on a variety show..!? Wild. You can also reserve online through Naver for weekdays, so booking ahead is a good idea!

Makes sense, then, that they had a huge range of traditional liquors, from makgeolli to distilled spirits. There were also highballs made with traditional liquor, and of course soju and beer too 😉 ![Jeongju Ilga's traditional liquor menu listing makgeolli and distilled spirits](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-09-5v1vr-900.webp) They had set meal menus that pair well with drinks, plus a bunch of different side dishes! Genuinely every single item on the menu seemed to go perfectly with alcohol, so I agonized over what to order for a good while. Whew. Oh, and table use is capped at 3 hours! ![Jeongju Ilga's set meal and side dish menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-10-lsbzi-900.webp) ![Side dish menu selection at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-11-1nwu6-900.webp) You could order by QR code or in person. They said you get a free Spam fry if you write a photo review, so keep that in mind when you visit 🍳 ![Table at Jeongju Ilga with QR ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-12-w4hj1-900.webp) ![Interior of Jeongju Ilga's dining hall hung with traditional paintings](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-13-cta49-900.webp) ## Hanok-style interior and window-side outdoor-style seating The interior was hung with all kinds of traditional paintings and had a hanok-style feel, so it really felt like a Korean traditional bar. There was also a wide row of seats by the window, giving it an outdoor-drinking (yajang) vibe. Drinking there with the windows open in spring or fall... sounds like pure happiness. ![Window-side seating at Jeongju Ilga with an outdoor-style feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-14-8alyb-900.webp) And what I thought was a really thoughtful touch: every table had a phone charger. Sometimes you need to charge your phone while you're out, and it's so handy to have one right there. ![Phone charger provided at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-15-1wbm0-900.webp) There was also a restroom inside! ![Sign pointing toward the restroom inside Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-16-1adc3-900.webp) ## The complimentary snack side dish alone got a refill This is the complimentary snack side dish that comes out, and it's honestly the ultimate beer snack. So good it's ridiculous ;; kind of like a dried-fish-flake snack? Salty-sweet, so I refilled it once before our actual food even arrived. ![Complimentary salty-sweet snack side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-17-1urvu-900.webp) ### You have to order the yuja draft beer We ordered soju and yuja (citron) draft beer, and I really recommend the yuja draft beer 🍻 It's cool, sweet, and the citron flavor isn't too overpowering, so it goes really, really well with beer. You'll find your beer disappearing in no time flat. ![Yuja draft beer and soju set at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-18-1xlz5-900.webp) ![Table spread of dakmuchim and pepperoni potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-19-11q7v-900.webp) ### Dakmuchim and pepperoni potato pancake Dakmuchim (spicy seasoned chicken) and pepperoni potato pancake! The dakmuchim had a wonderfully nutty sesame oil aroma and the seasoning was spot on. The pepperoni pancake with the soy sauce and Tabasco they gave alongside it — genuinely the best. At some point I realized I'd stopped drinking and was just... eating a full meal. Jeongju Ilga has fully earned its spot as a top Mangwon-dong bar. ![Final shot of drinks and side dishes enjoyed at Jeongju Ilga](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer-20-haj6s-m-836.webp) We met up planning for a light drink and ended up with an amazing meal and drinks, happily heading home afterward. If you're on Mangridan-gil or in Mangwon looking for a Korean bar, a great Mangwon spot to drink, or a place for a group meetup or company dinner with friends — go to Jeongju Ilga, seriously!!!!!!!!! ## Where it is - Jeongju Ilga (정주일가) - 서울특별시 마포구 포은로 66 1층 정주일가 (66 Poeun-ro, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea) - 서울특별시 마포구 포은로 66 1층 정주일가 - 37.5530563, 126.9064058 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%A3%BC%EC%9D%BC%EA%B0%80/@37.5530563,126.9064058,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-bar-coaster-2/mangwon-korean-pub-yuja-draft-beer/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
