About
Long-standing neighborhood pub in Huam-dong serving classic crispy fried chicken, smoked pork trotter, and comforting bar fare.
Perched on the second floor near Huam Market in Yongsan, Modurang Beer has anchored its neighborhood corner for nearly two decades. While many older drinking spots show their years, this classic hof breaks the mold: wide picture windows let in the street below, table spacing is generous, and the interior is impeccably clean, complete with well-maintained indoor restrooms and private rooms for group gatherings. Locals gravitate here past ten at night for a relaxed, unpretentious pint, welcomed by an exceptionally hospitable owner. The food menu spans an impressive breadth of Korean drinking staples, beginning with complimentary bowls of crisp macaroni puff snacks. A standout signature is the smoked king pork hock (*hunje wangjokbal*), which arrives glistening with a subtle, wood-smoked aroma that reaches deep into the meat. Sliced thin like smoked duck, the pork balances meltingly tender, unctuous fat with chewy rind, paired best with seasoned chives. Classic hof cravings are thoroughly satisfied by the thin-battered fried chicken—crunchy, golden, and cooked in clean oil reminiscent of old-school Korean whole bird preparations, served alongside sweet-and-sour radishes and dunking sauce. Tables frequently double up by ordering a pot of *tteokbokki*, crowned with aromatic perilla leaves that steep into a rich, sweet-and-spicy broth built for dipping fried chicken skin. For late-hour snacking, orders drift toward pink sausage pancakes (*bunhong sausage jeon*), warm *tofu kimchi*, and quick bowls of tavern ramen loaded with egg and vegetables, boiled to an exact, springy chew. With frosty mugs of draft beer flowing alongside generous side dishes, Modurang Beer delivers the comforting, retro soul of a neighborhood watering hole with the polish of a kitchen that takes the craft of late-night drinking food seriously.
