By Minjae · What's Up Korea Story
We looked at Gwangalli at night — beer, a soju table, then makgeolli.

안녕하세요, What's Up Korea Story의 Minjae예요.
We looked at Gwangalli after dark — three stops along the water. Beer first. Then a table. Then rice wine. Rooms Koreans actually drink in.
01 · Gwangan
Lounge 180 · 라운지180
Beach road. The big ocean-view room. Draft beer facing the bridge. Music, a long table, not a quiet bar. The first drink when the water is still the point.
02 · Gwangan
Soodal Bar Gwang-an · 수달바 광안
Same beach road. Low tables. Soju and yukhoe. Traditional drinks, Korean plates, a room built for talking. After the beer view — food and a slower glass.
03 · Gwangan
Kkulkkak House · 꿀꺽하우스
About ten minutes from Gwangan Station exit 1. They brew makgeolli in the day and pour it at night. House rice wine and pork with bean sprouts. Tuesday is closed. A last glass that is not beer.
Three stops. This is the Gwangalli night that is not only a tourist beer.
Keep walking
