Seomyeon craft beer pub with half-chicken and pizza: Craft Hans

Where is Craft Hans Seomyeon Branch? Second floor in central Seomyeon

Craft Hans Seomyeon Branch is a craft beer pub at 24 Dongcheon-ro 95beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, on the 2nd floor of a building right in central Seomyeon. Cross past the old NC Department Store toward Judis and you'll spot it — head up to the 2nd floor of the building where you can see the throat sign, and you'll find Craft Hans.

Today I'm introducing a craft beer spot in Seomyeon that's become a real favorite: Craft Hans.

Craft Hans

I'd heard there was a great craft beer bar in Seomyeon for a casual drink, so I checked it out. It's right in central Seomyeon, so it's easy to get to from anywhere!

Head up to the 2nd floor of the building where you can see the throat sign, and you'll find Craft Hans.

Inside Craft Hans: wood-tone seating and a beam projector for watching the game

Craft Hans Seomyeon Branch has an exotic pub feel, with wood-tone walls and warm lighting. The space is quite large with plenty of big tables, and the seating further inside that fits many people looked good for group gatherings.

The vibe from those wood-tone walls was so warm and had great atmosphere. It felt like I'd walked into a beer bar in Texas, haha. A pub full of exotic vibes.

The mood was so good, right? The lighting added an extra spoonful of warmth.

The space was quite spacious with plenty of big tables. It looked like a great place to come watch a soccer or baseball game on the beam projector. There's a table further inside that fits several people, so it seemed fine for larger groups too.

Craft Hans draft beer list and menu prices

Craft Hans has several kinds of draft beer ready — pilsner, weizen, dark, and pale. The beer prices are also on the affordable side, so craft beer lovers should be very satisfied.

Here's the Craft Hans menu. As befits a beer specialty shop, they sell many kinds of draft and bottled beer. There's even non-alcoholic beer for the non-drinkers! For food, chicken and pizza are the mains, with fries, salad, and gambas as sides. Great for filling up on chicken and pizza as a first round, or as a light second round.

Hans crispy chicken, pepperoni pizza, and draft beer. We were already so full, but seeing how the chicken and pizza looked, we couldn't resist. And of course, draft beer to go with it all.

They set us up with chicken sauce, pickled radish, garlic dipping sauce for the pizza, and parmesan hot sauce.

The cold draft beer arrived first. Besides Terra, they also have Hans draft beer, with plenty of beer options to pick from according to your taste.

Thin-crust pepperoni pizza with garlic dipping sauce included

Craft Hans' pepperoni pizza has a thin crust with pepperoni ham and cheese topped toward the edges. Garlic dipping sauce came included as standard, no extra charge needed.

It's a thin pizza but loaded with so much cheese that it stretched into long strings >< cheese lovers, prepare to lose it.

A lot of pizza places charge extra for garlic sauce, so it was great that this came free. The thin crust didn't taste too floury either, which was really satisfying. The saltiness of the pepperoni paired perfectly with the garlic sauce — so delicious. Even full, this pizza was mysteriously irresistible ♥

Hans Crispy Chicken: taste, 15,900 won discount price and half-chicken orders

Hans crispy chicken is normally ₩20,900 per whole chicken, but discounted to ₩15,900, and you can also order a half chicken. The outside was crispy and crunchy while the meat stayed moist, and the four of us filled up nicely sharing it with the pizza.

The headline dish — chicken — arrived. Look at that visual, right? It looked so crispy just by looking at it, glowing with that golden crust.

A table loaded with pizza and chicken. There was quite a lot of food, so the four of us shared it happily and got full. Bar food visuals at their finest — quality was a perfect 100.

The chicken was truly crispy and crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside. Every one of my friends raved about how good it was! And with the discounted price on a whole chicken, it's a great deal too. Craft beer bar with chicken this good — feels almost unfair. Fried chicken shop owners might need to worry, ha.

The chicken pieces were a good size too, easy for sharing among several people. The fried chicken had a spicy kick added that cut through the richness — even better that way.

Normally ₩20,900 for a whole chicken, but discounted to ₩15,900! A whole chicken for under twenty thousand won... a pretty generous price. And half-chicken orders are available too. Super useful for two people, or when you want to try a variety of food. Chicken places that let you order half a chicken are precious, truly precious ♥
