Pauläner Brauhaus

Pyongyang


Inside the Haemaji Shopping Centre you'll find this German-run venture where beer is served up to a mixture of locals and visitors in the capital. Brews are pricey here and not necessarily any better than in a normal bar, but it’s unusual to be sitting in a genuine international bar in North Korea. It's popular with tour groups.
