Sadang Station bar for churros and bacon potato pizza: Weizenhaus

I had a get-together with friends in Sadang today, so I stopped by Weizenhaus Bangbae Branch 1, a Sadang Station bar known for its craft beer that's great for a second round.

Location and hours of Weizenhaus Bangbae Branch 1 near Sadang Station

• Location: 22 Dongjak-daero, Sammi Building, Seocho-gu, Seoul
• Hours: Mon-Thu 16:00–01:00 / Fri-Sat 16:00–02:00 / Sun 16:00–24:00

The place is in the basement of Sammi Building, right in front of Sadang Station Exit 11. The big signboard and lit-up lettering caught my eye and made it easy to find — a perfect spot for a quick beer on the way to the subway when you're not quite ready to head home haha.

Seating and the vibe inside

The interior has high ceilings and plenty of space, with a cozy hideout-like feel that I really liked. It's mainly made up of 4-person tables with some connected seating, so it looked good for dates, friend groups, or coworker outings too.

There's also a semi-basement(?) area partway down the stairs from the entrance, so there were plenty of seats overall haha.

Looking around the place, the drink area with a variety of whiskies and craft beers, plus the open kitchen with the wood-fired oven, made it fun just to browse 👀✨️

The menu

The menu is built mainly around pizzas with various toppings, plus tacos, chicken, fried snacks, pasta, and dry bar snacks.

For drinks, there was a wide range of fresh, varied craft beers along with highballs, wine, and whisky.

What we ordered for round two

Since this was our second round, we kept it light with one bacon potato pizza and churros for snacks, plus four glasses of craft beer 😆

Shrimp chips came out as a complimentary snack. Crunchy with a nice shrimp flavor — perfect with beer haha.

How were the craft beers?

The beers we ordered came poured right away, and the different glass shapes and logos made them look pretty 🍻

Golden ale ₩6,300

The golden ale had a lovely bright fruity aroma, and since the carbonation wasn't too strong, it went down smooth and easy 😋

Craft lager ₩5,700

The craft lager had all the hallmarks of a classic lager, with a savory malt flavor and a crisp, refreshing finish haha.

Winter Sunshine ₩6,300

Winter Sunshine hits you right away with a sweet, fresh green grape flavor, and it was an appealing ale with a heavy body coming through afterward haha.

Weiss ₩6,300

The weiss was smooth with a refreshing citrus-like finish — an easy, delicious beer I'd recommend to anyone trying ale for the first time.

Churros and beer pairing

Churros ₩12,000

The churros came out first as a snack, split into two colors and served with whipped cream.

The sweet whipped cream with the just-out-of-the-fryer, warm and crispy churros was deliciously sweet — and the pairing with beer was better than expected, so this is a snack I'd recommend haha.

The combo of shrimp chips with whipped cream was pretty good too 🤭

Bacon potato wood-fired pizza

Bacon potato pizza ₩22,000

Next up was the bacon potato pizza, which came out looking great with toppings and sauce piled generously on top.

It came with cabbage pickles on the side, which paired nicely haha.

The crust was baked crisp and delicious, and the fluffy potato, the salty bursts of bacon in between, and the sweet-salty sauce all came together really well. One slice per glass of beer is totally doable haha.

More beers we had

Suntory draft beer ₩7,800

The Suntory draft had a bold, rich flavor more than heavy carbonation, with a clean finish that left a nice aftertaste haha.

Pale ale ₩6,300

The pale ale had a good balance of malt and hops, making it clean and easy to drink 😋
