About
Lively late-night pocha near Gongneung Station serving fresh yukhoe and casual drinks until 6 AM with playful events.
Tucked along the backstreets near Gongneung Station and the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail, Doyonam functions as an unpretentious culinary hideaway for the SeoulTech crowd and neighborhood night owls. Operating from dusk until six in the morning, this small pocha-style pub is anchored by square indoor tables, retro drinking tent sensibilities, and a projector casting videos across the wall. In warm weather, outdoor tables spill out onto the street, adding to the easygoing, late-night camaraderie. The kitchen centers on affordable raw beef, a rare and welcome focus for a casual neighborhood watering hole. Thinly sliced *yukhoe* (seasoned raw beef) arrives topped with an egg yolk to mix in with sesame oil, alongside neat platters of lean *yuk-sasimi* (beef sashimi). Both hover at the budget-friendly 19,900-won mark, making them popular staples whether shared among friends or tackled solo over a cold bottle of soju. For seafood, parboiled squid (*ojingeo sukhoe*) offers a tender alternative, while heartier cravings lean toward the savory *chadol doenjang ramyeon*, enriched with brisket and fermented soybean broth. Much of Doyonam’s local charm lies in its playful hospitality. Complimentary bites set a generous tone, ranging from scallion-heavy starter ramen cooked right at the table to fried eggs personalized with ketchup drawings. The owner—an athletic physical education graduate—keeps the mood lively with quirky house games, challenging patrons spending over 50,000 won to rock-paper-scissors or staring contests for prizes. Social media tags yield chilled sugar-dusted tomatoes, while sweet treats like jumbo cups of beaded ice cream routinely show up as perks for regulars. Casual, energetic, and purposefully built for winding down after midnight, Doyonam captures the spirited core of Nowon’s late-night drinking culture.
