Before you come over.
Hours, reservations, menus in other languages, drinking alone — the questions we get most often from people choosing a Hongdae Bar for the night.
How late are you open?
Until 4am the next morning every day except Saturday — and on Saturday we don't close at all, running a full 24 hours. Doors open 11:20 Mon–Thu, 11:10 Friday, and 11:00 on Saturday and Sunday. If you're looking for a Hongdae Bar that runs late, check the last-order time below too.
- Mon–Thu last order 02:30
- Fri last order 03:00
- Sat last order 09:30
- Sun last order 02:30
Can I make a reservation?
Yes — by phone on 0507-1386-7092, or through Naver booking. Give us the date, the time and how many of you there are. For public holidays or larger groups, a phone call ahead is the surest way.
How do I get there from Hongik Univ. Station?
About a 4-minute walk — roughly 230 m in a straight line. Hongik Univ. Station is served by Line 2, the AREX airport line and the Gyeongui–Jungang line; from there walk down Eoulmadang-ro toward the university's front gate and look for the timber-fronted building that uses both the ground floor and the floor below. From Line 6, it is about 13 minutes on foot from Sangsu Station.
Is there a menu in other languages?
Yes. The boards in the room are printed in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese together — both the food board and the drinks board. A mixed group can order off the same board.
Is it fine to come alone?
Yes. One stew and a 500ml bottle makes a complete table for one. Sides start at KRW 7,500, and the makgeolli and fruit sojus come in 500ml as well as the larger bottle, so drinking on your own doesn't mean committing to a litre.
What if someone in our group isn't drinking?
Not a problem. There are four coco-ades and three teas — omija, honey grapefruit, plum — at KRW 5,000 for 300ml, plus alcohol-free beers including Heineken 0.0% and Tsingtao 0.0%. And the food stands on its own as a meal without anything to drink at all.
Do you have room for a larger group?
The shop uses two floors — the ground floor and the one below — so seating is split across several areas. Whether a particular size and time can be seated does vary, so please call ahead for a group. On the day itself, a phone call is the most reliable answer we can give.

Our story
Why the name is the closing time, and why there is no separate lunch menu — how this Hongdae Pub ended up built the way it is.
