About
Cozy indoor pocha in Seorae Village featuring openable panoramic windows, private booth seating, and classic pub comfort food.
Perched on the second floor along Seorae-ro, Yeongdalne channels the nostalgic, easygoing spirit of an early-2000s indoor pocha while leaning comfortably into Seorae Village’s quiet evening rhythm. Wide, accordion-style windows fold open along the exterior, letting in the cool night breeze—or the soft patter of rain—offering an open-air street-stall ambiance high above the pavement. Inside, subtle moon-and-star lighting washes over a spacious floor plan cleverly broken into varied seating: a counter for solo drinks, central open tables with storage stools, partitioned booths lining the glass, and private rooms for gatherings. The tavern draws its roots from Yeongdeungpo, where the kitchen originally earned acclaim for its homestyle tteokbokki. Now named after the owner’s older brother, the spot preserves that comforting culinary backbone. Bowls of crisp, salty shrimp chips hit the table right away, quickly followed by hearty drinking fare. The signature dak-bokkeum-tang arrives bubbling in a rich, sweet-and-spicy broth, cooked to order with tender chicken that pairs naturally with cold soju. Diners also gravitate toward the gungmul tteokbokki, a brothy, peppery rice cake dish whose comforting warmth makes it a frequent order for those walking over from Han River Park. The sprawling menu reads like a love letter to classic late-night drinking houses. Groups linger over shared plates of fiery stir-fried squid (ojingeo maekom bokkeum), crisp salted chicken gizzards (geunwi sogeum-gui), roasted ginkgo nuts, and deep, bubbling pots of spicy seafood stew (eolkeun haemultang). Cold Asahi draft beer provides sharp carbonation against the savory heat, though green bottles of soju remain the staple companion to the simmering stews. Yeongdalne keeps its focus squarely on generous flavors, unhurried conversation, and thoughtful details—down to well-stocked amenities—making it a dependable neighborhood sanctuary that welcomes night owls well into the early morning.
