A Songpa food blogger's record of the Bangi-dong spot Hope So. It's a pub with an open, breezy feel and wood-fired pizza.
With the cool breeze of early autumn these days, I naturally start craving a spot that feels like sitting outdoors. While looking for somewhere near Olympic Park to have a light dinner with a beer, I headed to an alley near Bangi Station. Drawn in by the exterior with its folding doors wide open, I walked in without hesitation and took a seat.
Thanks to the high ceilings, the moment I walked in I felt a cool sense of openness with no stuffiness at all. The combo of pizza fresh from the wood-fired oven and a spicy pasta turned out even more satisfying than expected.
Being able to comfortably enjoy delicious food and world beers in such an atmospheric space was really satisfying!

What is Hope So like inside?
Open folding doors and a roomy two-floor layout at Hope So
Hope So's Bangi branch is split across two floors, and the very high ceilings give it a charmingly open, unobstructed view.
The large folding doors were flung wide open, so it felt like sitting at an outdoor terrace catching the breeze.
On the second floor there's a big artificial tree, which made it feel cozy while also looking good for group gatherings or conversation.
How do the margherita and cream jjamppong pasta taste?
Chewy wood-fired margherita and spicy cream jjamppong pasta
The margherita (₩22,000) that arrived at our table came out well-baked from the wood-fired oven, crispy and chewy all the way to the crust edge.
Soft fresh mozzarella and basil were piled generously on top of the fresh tomato sauce, adding a clean, savory depth.
Next up, we tried the day's pasta special cream jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup, ₩14,900, Mon–Thu), which had a spice level around Shin Ramyeon level running through the cream base.
Plump shrimp, other seafood, and crunchy vegetables were packed in generously, giving a satisfying bite every time we scooped up the noodles.
Behind the nutty richness of the cream sauce, a spicy kick rose up cleanly, and I kept dipping my spoon back into the broth.
A slice of the light, not-greasy wood-fired pizza paired wonderfully with the spicy jjamppong pasta.
The portions we ordered were generous, so it was more than enough for dinner or drinking snacks!
Draft beers from around the world and non-alcoholic picks
Cinnamon-rimmed Kozel Dark and an easy non-alcoholic can
At the bar, where the draft beer taps are kept nicely maintained, you can choose from a variety of world draft beers to suit your taste.
The Kozel Dark (500ml, ₩8,000), with cinnamon powder generously dusted around the rim, had a gentle sweetness blending smoothly with the dark beer's bitterness.
It was nice to see they also had Clausthaler non-alcoholic canned beer (330ml, ₩4,000) ready to go, good for days when you're driving or not drinking much.
Thanks to the salty pretzels and refreshing radish pickles served as basic snacks, it was easy to cleanse the palate between bites.
Is Hope So worth a visit?
A Bangi-dong date spot to settle into after an autumn night walk
It was a perfect route to take after a relaxed walk through Olympic Park, just a short stroll to stop by. We got to happily enjoy the clean taste of wood-fired pizza, an unusual cream jjamppong, and a cool beer all in one place.
It's a great spot to feel the early autumn night breeze and chat away, so I plan to come back next time I'm craving pizza and beer. If you're thinking about somewhere atmospheric near Bangi Station for a gathering or a date, it's worth a visit~
