A group visit for a friend's birthday party brought chicken hot pot (dak-gogi jeongol) and croffle ice cream to the table, and the staff gladly said yes to lighting candles on a cake. With soft lighting that keeps conversation easy and separate men's and women's restrooms inside, Dorandoran works well for small celebrations. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 38-1 Seojeon-ro 58beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 17:00–01:00 (last order 00:00) - **Closed**: Every Monday, plus scheduled holidays - **What we ordered**: Chicken hot pot, croffle ice cream - **Signature dishes**: Beef brisket & chicken bulgogi, chicken hot pot, pork jowl steak - **Drinks**: Soju and beer, plum highball, green tangerine highball, Saero Dorae, Saero Omija - **Restrooms**: Inside the bar, separate for men and women *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Atmosphere inside Dorandoran, a bar in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-01-bb16u-966.webp) Seomyeon and Jeonpo-dong in Busan are full of charming alleys and pretty spaces, so they're places I often go to for dates or group gatherings. Among them, if you're looking for somewhere quiet yet atmospheric where you can actually talk, with great food to match, there's a Jeonpo date bar I'd definitely recommend. Let me share detailed info and an honest review of Dorandoran, a Jeonpo-dong anju (drinking snacks) spot that's perfect for having a cozy, chatty ("dorandoran") time under soft lighting. ## Where is Dorandoran in Jeonpo, and when is it open? ![Entrance to Dorandoran on the 2nd floor of the Seojeon-ro 58beon-gil building](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-02-18yeh-966.webp) Dorandoran is located on the 2nd floor of a building at 38-1 Seojeon-ro 58beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan. It's close to the Jeonpo café street area, making it very accessible as a second stop after dinner on a date course. It's open Tuesday through Sunday from 17:00 to 01:00 the next day, with last order at 00:00, closed Mondays and on occasional regular holidays. Once you head up to the 2nd floor, the emotional, cozy interior greets you — perfect for a couple's date, a blind date, or a gathering with friends. ## Dorandoran's food menu and highball lineup ![Dorandoran's anju (drinking snacks) menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-03-107oc-966.webp) ![Drink menu listing highballs and fruit soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-04-116wn-966.webp) This place boasts a varied, distinctive anju lineup — from the signature beef brisket & spicy chicken bulgogi, to a chicken hot pot with a clear, deep broth, to a pork jowl steak served with mashed potato and napa cabbage. The choices range from hot pots to pasta, chicken salad, and light sides, so there's a wide selection. The drink menu is just as varied — soju and beer, of course, plus mood-appropriate highballs like plum highball and green tangerine highball, and fruit sojus like Saero Dorae and Saero Omija, so you can pick whatever suits your taste. ## How the chicken hot pot and croffle ice cream tasted ![Basic snack crackers served with beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-05-1poht-966.webp) These crackers that came out as a basic starter snack were tasty too. We were having them with beer first. ![Anju and drinks laid out on a table at Dorandoran](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-06-nkhg5-1200.webp) ![Seating at Dorandoran under soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-07-wgylv-966.webp) ![Table set up for a birthday party gathering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-08-jy4wi-966.webp) On our last visit, we went to Dorandoran for a friend's birthday party. I've been to other rowdy, loud Jeonpo bars before where it was hard to hold a conversation, but here, thanks to the cozy warm lighting, it was so much easier to talk comfortably. The staff were genuinely kind from the moment we walked in until we left. ![Chicken hot pot with a clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-09-4okwk-966.webp) ![Croffle ice cream ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-10-1b2xs-966.webp) When we asked if we could light the candles on the birthday cake we'd brought, they happily said yes, so we got to have a nice birthday celebration thanks to that. For anju, we ordered the chicken hot pot with its refreshing, clear broth, and the sweet croffle ice cream — the meat and vegetables in the hot pot were so generous that the broth was perfect for a second round of drinking, and paired with the croffle ice cream for dessert, the combination was amazing. ## Are there restrooms inside Dorandoran? ![Separate men's and women's restrooms inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-11-lh4ti-966.webp) If you've ever been to a bar where you had to use an outdoor or shared building restroom, you know how inconvenient that can be. Dorandoran has clean, separate men's and women's restrooms inside the store. They're well maintained hygienically, which is a big plus for anyone who's hesitant about using outdoor or less-than-clean restrooms — you can relax and use them without worry. ![Cozy lighting inside Dorandoran](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-12-1v3c4-966.webp) ![Wall interior detail at Dorandoran](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-13-1haf1-966.webp) ![Table seating good for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-14-16q5n-966.webp) ![Exterior view of Dorandoran in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot/jeonpo-doran-doran-birthday-chicken-hotpot-15-a5zc0-966.webp) If you're looking for a great anju spot in Jeonpo with good atmosphere, or a Jeonpo date bar where you can have a cozy conversation with your partner, I'd recommend visiting Dorandoran for a special time with delicious food.
