1. Won Daegutang (원대구탕)

The signature dish here is the spicy cod soup. Soju goes down even smoother when enjoyed with dishes like this. That’s right—soju is the kind of drink that brings out the best in the food it’s paired with.

2. Green Hof (그린호프)

This isn’t an “Instagrammable” spot, but rather a place locals have frequented for years. You can really feel the classic vibe here. If you order the “Anything” option for 33,000 won, you’ll get a generous and random mix of fruits, vegetables, and fried treats. Plus, soju paired with fried chicken and beondegi (silkworm pupae) stew is delicious here.

3. Pocha Yongsan Style (포차용산스타일)

This is the place to enjoy homemade burgers, tofu kimchi, anchovy noodles, mussel soup, and rolled omelet. In this Korean-style pub, the handcrafted burger and various soju-friendly dishes are a perfect match with soju. It’s got a nostalgic vibe—a place that truly calls for a bottle of soju.

4. Yongmun Pocha (용문포차)

This spot offers refreshing soju and shrimp soup in a lively, bustling pub-style setting—just the way a true market eatery should feel. It’s especially recommended if you’re in the mood to enjoy soju with sashimi and seafood. Another perk is the long hours: open daily from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m., except for regular Tuesday closures.
