Mikkeller Bar

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


Danish brand famous for 'phantom' brewing (pop-up type service with locals), Mikkeller has its first Korean location in this small, one-room bar with colourful wall paintings. The beer menu, which changes seasonally, features international beers and Mikkeller's own brews, plus local brewers like Galmegi from Busan as guest taps – check the calendar on its website.

Mainstays include a pale ale called Taedonggang, as well as rarities like lambic beers. Those unsure of what they would like can also feel free to ask one of the beer connoisseurs on staff. Management claims that, among the Mikkeller bars in the world, this branch is the cheapest!
