I went to a great-vibe Western food spot in Dongmyo, and it turned out to be perfect for dinner or for a drink haha🤭 It's close to Dongmyo, Dongdaemun, and Sindang, and has such a unique atmosphere that I want to recommend it — here's my review of Dongmyo Market.
Where is Dongmyo Market, and what are its hours?
Dongmyo Market is a 3-minute walk from Dongmyo Station and a 4-minute walk from Dongdaemun Station. It's also close to Sindang and Changsin stations, so accessibility is pretty good👍

Even the exterior has that vintage feel that matches Dongmyo's old alley atmosphere! It has a retro, exotic vibe and is open from 5pm into the late evening, so it's great for dinner or drinks.
Inside Dongmyo Market: vintage interior and seating
True to its name, Dongmyo Market has a market-or-pub kind of vibe that felt refreshingly new. It's the kind of atmosphere you'd expect from an American Western movie👍 I went on a weekend evening and it was nearly full, so I took my photos on the way out... I guess a great-vibe place always gets found, even down an alley.
There are plenty of tables for 2-4 people and a room that's great for gatherings, so it works for dates, friend meetups, and group hangouts alike. Naver and Catch Table reservations are both possible, so it might be worth booking ahead on weekends!
From chips to cup noodles: the self-serve snack bar
On one side there's a separate snack bar where you can pick out simple bar snacks yourself, so it'd be great as a second or third round spot too🥨
They even had cup noodles⁉️ Drinks followed by ramyeon (instant noodles) to finish the night off — perfect.
What can you drink at Dongmyo Market? Wine, beer and non-alcoholic options
Wine is the main offering, but there's also a wide range of non-alcoholic drinks, soju, beer, and more👍
Further inside there's an even bigger wine selection. The prices are reasonable too, so I'd recommend it🍷

Ordered the cream pasta, kimchi fried rice, and a beer🍝🍻
Whole-bacon garlic cream pasta and bacon kimchi fried rice
Whole bacon garlic cream pasta: ₩19,000 Bacon kimchi fried rice: ₩16,000
The cream pasta is a rich, thick pasta topped with bacon. It comes with plenty of sauce and a serving size generous enough for two, which I loved🥹
The thick-cut bacon is the kicker! The pasta is delicious even on its own, but piling bacon on top sent the savory flavor through the roof👏 I had it with beer, and it was fantastic as a drinking snack too.
The kimchi fried rice had a fusion feel to it. It's a blend of Korean and Western style, and looked so appetizing just from the visuals that I was excited👍 Tangy-spicy kimchi fried rice topped with a fried egg, chewy bacon, and fresh arugula — familiar yet new, and very satisfying. It paired well with the Western dishes like the pasta too, so it'd be great to order together whenever you're craving rice~
Hoegaarden draft and the G'day Mate cocktail
Hoegaarden draft: ₩6,500 G'day Mate: ₩9,800
The Hoegaarden draft is smooth and goes down easily, while G'day Mate has a bright tropical fruit character, so I'd recommend it if you like ale-style beers!
Is Dongmyo Market worth a visit? Final verdict
From the atmosphere to the way you order, Dongmyo Market felt refreshingly different, which made it fun. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a vintage vibe like me, or who's looking for a great-atmosphere bar in Dongmyo~
- A restaurant-bar combo near Dongmyo and Dongdaemun
- Menu ranges from Western dishes to simple snacks
- Exotic, vintage atmosphere
- Great for dinner or for first, second, and third rounds of drinks
