15 self-pour beers and half-and-half pizza near Yadang Station: Long

The four of us have wildly different taste in drinks, but Long Time No See somehow got us all to agree.

Location and parking at Long Time No See Yadang Branch

This place is right by Yadang Station. Walk out Exit 1 or 2 and you'll spot the Lotte Cinema building immediately — the pub is on the 2nd floor. It's a 2-minute walk, so no burden for those coming on foot. There's also a building parking lot with 4 hours free, so driving is a good option too.

Hours

• 17:00 – 24:00 (Fri–Sat until 02:00)
• Last order 1 hour before closing
• Parking available in the building (4 hours free)

Inside the pub — good for group dinners?

The place has a soft mood with cream lighting and wood-tone interiors.

There are about 15 tables for four, and they can be pushed together, so group visits are no problem. While I was there, a work group of 10+ people came in. Since there's such a wide variety of drinks, everyone can pick what they want without worrying about anyone else — honestly makes it a solid pick for a company dinner too haha.

True to its spot right by the station, if you sit by the window you get a full view of Yadang Station outside.

Payment info and the 29th 'Noh' discount

Paju Pay is accepted. Since 'Long Time No See' has 'Noh' baked into the name lol, on the 29th of every month, tables with a guest surnamed Noh get 30% off. ID verification is required.

How to order drinks — tag your wristband and pour it yourself

The biggest feature of this place: you can pour as much as you want from about 15 kinds of drinks.

• 1️⃣ Get the wristband handed to you at entry
• 2️⃣ Pick the drink you want and tag your wristband
• 3️⃣ Pull the lever and the drink pours out

Just like this~~ pour carefully so you don't end up with an IU beer (all foam, no beer)! This system is great for both drink novices and drink experts alike — novices get to sample lots of different kinds, and experts can hunt down rarer options. Great if you're coming with friends whose drink tastes are all over the place, since everyone can find common ground.

What to drink? Our group's top 3 picks

Too many options giving you decision paralysis? I asked around the group and pulled together their recommendations.

🙋‍♀️ Lindemans Pêche Lambic (peach)

This is the most expensive drink in the place, so I was curious and tried it — turns out there's a reason for the price. Tastes like a bright yellow water peach, freshly juiced.

🙋🏻 Long Time Peach Up

This place really knows its peach. If the Lindemans Pêche is a rich, concentrated peach, this one is a refreshing, clean peach.

🙋🏻‍♀️ Platinum Golden Ale

A crisp beer with rich aroma and no bitterness. Great carbonation.

Snacks: half-and-half pizza with two flavors

Time to pick some snacks.

True to being run by a pizza master, there's a wide variety of pizzas. There's also pasta, fried snacks, and dried snacks. We ordered a half-and-half pizza: "herb garlic potato pizza" + "sweet potato pizza." So grateful you can split it half and half… there was so much I wanted to try that it nearly took forever to decide.

✔️ Left) Sweet potato / Right) Herb garlic potato

Cheeeeeeeese. I used to go around telling people I'm not really into pizza — turns out I was just lying. Ate it in a total daze. Adding the crust meant I ended up savoring even the bread.

If it gets a bit boring partway through, sprinkle on the table's parmesan cheese and hot sauce for round two.

The hidden MVP: complimentary popcorn

And honestly, there's a hidden MVP here — the complimentary popcorn. Every time I go, I refill it about 10 times (awkward, I know). It comes freshly popped straight from the machine, how could it not be good? Anyway, these guys are basically beer-callers.

We drank way too enthusiastically.

This is an intentional IU beer. (Just wanted to show off the pretty printing on the cup, that's literally the only reason.)

Final verdict

• ✔️ If your friends' drink tastes are all over the place
• ✔️ If you want to try a wide variety of drinks
• ✔️ If you love a good, upscale pizza
