Craftworks Taphouse & Bistro - Namsan

No Longer In Business

Location is in Itaewon close to some other beer places. Pub is in the quiet alley. 11 own beers available as well as flights. Beers were oldskool, probably not changed much over the years. Nothing to talk about but food was good. Come here for ticks.

A bit bright and not amazing vibes. Food was good. They had an interesting beer selection and some good/some mediocre. Service was a bit iffy also. Good to try some beers but wouldn’t necessarily visit again.

Easy to make your way through the flights. Not very inspiring but decent enough. Would stop in again if in the area.

Has the feel of a place that is getting left behind a little. Nice patio and room, but the beers were not the most interesting we had on our trip. In fact probably the least interesting. 2 flights available but the glasses are pretty small. The food by contrast seems to be pretty big. We couldn’t try the second flight as they were out of 2 of the 5 beers. One of the beers appears on both flights for some reason. Nice enough, but compared to the places we visited afterwards, it was found wanting.

Brewery restaurant with the brewery located off city limits - typical Seoul approach to saving on rent costs. Beerwise I left as happy customer - all their brews were in good condition. Very nice service. On a side bonus you got Magpie Brewery pub almost right next door, so you can can get a perfect combo!

if you’re looking for a good american style tap house in Seoul, this is the place to go to. decent selection of their own beers and a good bar food menu

Visited early afternoon for lunch. The pub is tucked away just off the main street. Only one table full with a group of workers, but the main room by the bar soon filled up within the hour. There’s also a side patio area with more seating. Ordered a tasting paddle of seven beers, one being a seasonal brew. Beers not bad if a little run of the mill. Food is burgers, sandwiches, salads and the like. I ordered a ’Banh Mi’ burger which was an odd thing to choose in hindsight. The pub is around the corner from the craft beer bar alley so that makes it convenient to hit for easy ticks, along with the others.

The wait at this place makes you expect a lot - but your experience may leave you wanting more. I came here twice but after the second time I def. didnt want to come again. The second time I came here it was on a date. We finally got a table and the server took our orders. My food was pretty good but my soda was noticeably flat. I routinely asked for another and surprisingly was met by another person working in the back who asked me what was wrong with my drink. I repeated that it was flat and he proceeded to sip my drink and tell me "tastes fine to me" I just starred at him. He relunctantly replaced my drink with another flat soda and after that I just lost interest in the place as a whole. The food , the atmosphere nor the prices warranted service at that level. blah.
