As soon as I stepped into the pub, the warm wooden interior immediately caught my eye. ????
It felt like a cozy Korean home.
'Ah, this is the charm of a traditional Korean pub!'
There was a variety of seating available, and I really liked the spacious and clean atmosphere!
I visited right when they opened because I wanted to show you all the cleanest view possible, that's why I entered right at opening time. ⏰✨
Going inside, I noticed a liquor sommelier certificate hanging on the wall. ????✨
Plus, all the liquor bottles were so colorful~
I immediately thought, 'Wow... this is a real traditional Korean liquor restaurant!'
There were so many different kinds, I happily started to worry about what to try first. ????????
Right when I came in, I knew I'd come to a place worth getting excited about!
Now it's menu time! ????
From set menus to individual dishes and traditional liquors, everything was well-organized, making it easy to choose. Take your time to look through it and pick out something that makes you think, 'I want to try this combination!'
I'll be sharing my recommended combinations soon! ????????️
Quick announcement!????
When it's full, Table Ring operates with a 2-hour limit.
Please keep this in mind when planning your meal or drinks. ????
As soon as I ordered, the liquor arrived! The one I chose was Jangsu Omija wine. ????✨
They serve different glasses for each type of liquor.
That was quite a highlight!
The glass I received was a flower-shaped glass that went well with the red color of the Omija wine.
The colors are so pretty, aren't they? ???? It made me feel good right away.
Finally, all the dishes I ordered have arrived! ????????
The table setting was so plentiful, I felt excited the moment I saw it.
I'll slowly introduce each dish one by one. ????️✨
The first dish that came out was Jeyuk Kalguksu (Spicy Pork Noodle Stir-fry). ????????
It's a dish made by stir-frying pork with kalguksu noodles. The spicy and sweet flavors create a great harmony, making it perfect as a side dish with alcohol.
Because it has kalguksu noodles, it feels like a hearty meal.
The smoky flavor unique to Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork) is also alive, so as soon as I took a bite, I immediately wanted a drink. ????✨
The second dish is Corn Cheese Steamed Egg. ????????????
A soft and sweet dish that temporarily soothes the spiciness of the Jeyuk Kalguksu!
The cheesy and sweet flavor from the corn and cheese went really well with the spicy Jeyuk Bokkeum.
It came out warm, and taking a bite made me feel warm inside~ ????????
The last menu item is Dried Laver and Tuna Rice Ball! ????✨
It's huge, so I thought, 'Wow... I'll be so full if I eat this!'
But I really liked that it was so big.
It felt like I made a really good choice. ????????
Even with just one bite, it's packed with ingredients, so it's filling!
It was a satisfying menu item to the very end!
Itaewon pub 'Jugwan' is truly amazing. ????
I was satisfied with everything from the traditional liquors to the side dishes and atmosphere, so I want to visit again next time!
If you're looking for a pub with a good atmosphere in Itaewon,
I highly recommend Jugwan. ????✨
