Paju bar with dried pollack and cinnamon Kozel Dark: Long Time No See
In short
Long Time No See Yadang Branch is a self-pour tap beer and pizza pub on the second floor of the Lotte Cinema (former CGV) building, a 5-minute walk from Yadang Station in Paju, Gyeonggi. On this visit the table shared meoktae (dried pollack) at 13,900 won with a Kozel Dark rimmed in cinnamon, while the designated driver made sparkling water with syrups from the Free Zone. Because a wristband tag lets each person pour whatever beer they want and as much as they want, Long Time No See suits groups where everyone drinks differently.

30% off for tables named No, plus injeolmi ice cream before 7pm
It has that pub feel, perfect for a casual second round. And get this — tables with a guest surnamed No get a whopping 30% discount!!! What a brilliant touch... Mr./Ms. No, where are you!! Let's go have a Long Time No See together!
Right now, tables that arrive before 19:00 get a free injeolmi (rice cake powder) ice cream!! Vanilla ice cream topped with nutty injeolmi powder and bean powder...
Eating dessert while drinking beer just goes down so smoothly, it's basically an unwritten rule... such a brilliant touch...
What to order after three visits: pizza, spicy hangover pasta, dried pollack
There's a kiosk with set menus. Based on my food-data from 2-3 visits here for work dinners and friend gatherings... this place is a snack-menu gem. The pizzas are generally all good, and if you like spicy food, the spicy hangover-cure pasta! If you like dry snacks, I recommend the dried pollack!
What the room feels like and when it fills up
Here's a look at the interior. It looks spacious, but it fills up fast because so many groups come.
Our meeting wasn't a coincidence... total vibe... ><
When I came for a second round after sunset, the atmosphere was incredible. It seems like it hits full capacity around 7-8pm no matter what day it is. Lots of company dinners, groups of 3-4 friends, and dates too.
How the wristband tag self-pour beer taps work
The beer machines are insane, my heart was already racing the moment I walked in.
The system at Long Time No See is like a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) — you pick the beer machine you want, tag your wristband, and pour your own beer.
Inside the Free Zone: water, hetgae tea, syrups and an ice maker
This is the Free Zone. There's bottled water and hetgae-su (hangover-relief drink) available. And for pizza eaters, there's parmesan cheese and hot sauce. The syrups on the right are great mixed into sparkling water for non-drinkers..!! Oh, and there's an ice maker in the Free Zone too!! If you like really cold water, add ice in there.
What kind of genius touch is this... legendary.
Since I drove that day, I mixed sparkling water with green grape, lemon, and grapefruit syrups, a bit of each. And for soju lovers, there's a soju and Cass beer machine too~
Look closely and you'll see the price per 10ml along with taste, aroma, and keyword tags on screen. It also shows roughly what one glass costs.
Ask for cinnamon on your Kozel Dark
Kozel Dark, my stylish companion's favorite! When you ask the staff, they bring out a cinnamon shaker and dust the rim of the glass with it.
If you love dark beer, don't forget to ask for this treatment. The difference it makes is huge, and I totally fell for Long Time No See's sense of style over this...!!
Being able to pour and taste as many different drinks as you want, in whatever amount you want, is such a big advantage. Honestly, when you go out for a group dinner or drinks with friends, everyone usually has different tastes but it's hard to order many different things, so people just settle on one. Here, though, you can pour whichever beer you want from a huge lineup, in whatever amount you like, which is amazing.
Dried pollack at 13,900 won, and the sauce that makes it
Dried pollack (₩13,900)
Ta-da, as dry-snack lovers we ordered the dried pollack.
But it doesn't just come with pollack — chocolate-looking nuts came alongside it too?!
That sauce especially is so good. It's kind of mayonnaise-and-soy-sauce-ish and pairs really well with the pollack haha.
Today I had drinks with my stylish companion to celebrate my mom's visit to Paju... but since I was on driving duty, I had sparkling water instead....ㅠㅠㅠ
The free popcorn that keeps the table busy
The default snack, popcorn, is a hidden gem
This is also part of why I love Long Time No See. The complimentary popcorn here is genuinely delicious. Munching on that savory, salty popcorn makes the beer go down smoothly... and drinking the beer makes your hand reach for the popcorn again. Best of all, they don't hold back on refills.
Letting guests scoop popcorn anytime just makes you drink even more beer... hehe.
