The meal at Jichilliya Jeju opened with an 11-degree bamboo forest makgeolli welcome drink, then grilled bulgogi nabe, dongpa pork belly at 27,000 won, and seafood bangajeon (Korean savoury pancake). Unlike a beer hall or a street-tent pocha, Jichilliya Jeju suits a proper dinner date over drinks. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 17 Gwangyang 14-gil, Jeju City, Jeju (Ido 2-dong, near Jeju City Hall) - **Welcome drink**: 11-degree bamboo forest makgeolli - **Dongpa pork belly**: 27,000 won (the menu also showed 26,000 won at the time of the visit) - **Dishes ordered**: Grilled bulgogi nabe, dongpa pork belly, seafood bangajeon - **Price reference**: ₩27,000 ≈ $20 · ₩26,000 ≈ $19.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* Looking for somewhere near Jeju City Hall for a light evening drink, I ended up at Jichilliya Jeju. ![Jichilliya Jeju, a Korean-style bar in Ido 2(i)-dong near Jeju City Hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-01-bgxmd-1200.webp) ![Entrance area of Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-02-y9v6d-900.webp) There are so many good restaurants and bars around Jeju City Hall that it's always hard to choose, but this time, instead of the usual soju or beer, I wanted to try something a bit different — traditional liquor paired with Korean food. ![Interior of Jichilliya Jeju, serving traditional liquor and Korean food](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-03-1jkix-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-04-dr8iv-900.webp) ![Seating and tables at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-05-ufzgx-900.webp) ## Where is Jichilliya Jeju in Ido 2-dong? Jichilliya is located in Ido 2(i)-dong, which made it convenient when meeting someone near Jeju City Hall, and the vibe felt a bit different from the usual noisy bar scene, which I liked. ![Interior view of Jichilliya Jeju in Ido 2(i)-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-06-1hm24-900.webp) ![Table setting at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-07-mdku2-900.webp) ## The 11-degree bamboo forest makgeolli welcome drink One of the things I remembered most about Jichilliya was the makgeolli (rice wine) welcome drink. With the 11-degree bamboo forest welcome drink, I got to taste traditional liquor from the very start, which was a fun touch. Even if you don't usually drink makgeolli often, starting with a small welcome drink like this made it feel approachable, and it got me curious about which traditional liquor would go well with the food. ![11-degree bamboo forest makgeolli welcome drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-08-1352r-900.webp) ![A glass of the makgeolli welcome drink at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-09-3q0u5-900.webp) ![Table spread with traditional liquor at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-10-ucp9w-900.webp) ![A glass of traditional liquor at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-11-ns5hb-900.webp) ## Grilled bulgogi nabe at Jichilliya Jeju The second dish I ordered was the grilled bulgogi nabe (hot pot). Being a warm soup dish, it was great to share while drinking. The bulgogi had a smoky grilled flavor that made it different from a typical nabe, and it was also a good dish to share when visiting with a group. ![Grilled bulgogi nabe at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-12-188b2-900.webp) ![Grilled bulgogi nabe simmering in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-13-fmnxv-900.webp) ## Dongpa pork belly: price and taste One of the dishes ordered that day was dongpa pork belly. It was priced at ₩27,000, though the menu at the time of the visit showed ₩26,000, so the price may vary depending on when you visit. The dongpa pork belly came with softly cooked meat, making it a great pairing with drinks. If you enjoy Korean-style bar food, it's a safe and satisfying order. It was nice to order one meat dish and slowly enjoy it with traditional liquor. ![Dongpa pork belly at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-14-1c3aq-900.webp) ![A plate of softly cooked dongpa pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-15-1892h-900.webp) ## Seafood bangajeon (Korean savoury pancake) I also ordered the seafood bangajeon (savory pancake). Jeon pairs so well with makgeolli that it felt like a must-order for a table enjoying traditional liquor. The seafood combined with the bangajip (water mint) aroma gave it a distinct character compared to a regular seafood pancake. Personally, I think ordering a bit of several dishes to sample alongside traditional liquor is the most fun way to go. ![Seafood bangajeon at Jichilliya Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-16-1384x-900.webp) If you're looking for a bar near Jeju City Hall that offers more than just drinks, one where the food is properly enjoyable too, this kind of place fits the bill well. ![A table set with traditional liquor and Korean food](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli-17-1k7yg-900.webp) ## Worth it for traditional liquor near Jeju City Hall? Jichilliya Jeju had a different vibe from the usual pub or pocha (street tent bar), a place to enjoy traditional liquor alongside Korean food. With a menu ranging from the makgeolli welcome drink to dongpa pork belly, grilled bulgogi nabe, and seafood bangajeon, there was plenty of variety to pick from according to taste. It's a good choice for a dinner with friends, or whenever you're looking for a bar with atmosphere near Jeju City Hall. ## Where it is - Jichilliya Jeju (잊힐리야 제주) - 17 Gwangyang 14-gil, 1st floor, Jeju City, Jeju, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 광양14길 17 1층 - 33.4976589, 126.5291694 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%8A%ED%9E%90%EB%A6%AC%EC%95%BC%20%EC%A0%9C%EC%A3%BC/@33.4976589,126.5291694,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@serum-drop-desk/jeju-city-hall-traditional-liquor-pub-makgeolli/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
