About
Old-style Sindang pub for sesame-scented egg soup, crisp fried chicken and complimentary tangy kimchi.
The egg soup is the order that makes Osiyahop more than a place to split a plate of chicken. Called gyeran-tang (계란탕), it arrives warm and softly savory, with sesame lending a nutty smell and finish. The room has the lived-in look of an old Korean beer pub: spacious enough for a group, with a retro feel that suits a second round as well as a full evening. Complimentary banchan includes kimchi, which visitors single out for its bright, tangy bite. For the classic pub meal, get the owner-recommended fried chicken (후라이드치킨, ₩21,000). Its thick, old-school batter fries up crisp, and it is cooked to order, so allow about 20 minutes rather than expecting an instant plate. The egg soup is ₩14,000. If you want something saucier, yangnyeom chicken costs ₩22,000 and comes in a sweet-savory coating; golbaengi muchim (골뱅이무침, ₩20,000) pairs chewy whelk with a sweet-spicy dressing and somyeon noodles. There are also simpler drinking snacks, including fries and dried fish. Baeksuk and suyuk need to be ordered a day ahead. Osiyahop opens at 17:30 and stays open until 02:00 Monday through Saturday; it is closed Sunday. Call to reserve, particularly if you are coming with a group. Group seating and takeout are available. The restroom is not inside the pub, and tissues are kept by the entrance. Expect a comfortable, unhurried stop with friends, family or colleagues, rather than a polished cocktail bar. One caveat: a reviewer noticed a smoky smell from the bar area, so this may not be the best choice if you are sensitive to smoke.
