 |
|
Anyone heard of a new pub opening up in Guwol-dong called O'Malley's? It will supposedly be an "Irish" pub and have Guinness, Alley Kat and a few other Euro beers on tap. If this is true it will be the first pub in Incheon to actually have decent draft beer.
I personally find it hard to believe. Incheon is the 3rd largest city in Korea but has the diversity and culture of a coal mine. |

| My husband was there last night. He said the beer was good. It's just outside the square. It won't be open to the public for a while yet, though. |

| How much did the beer cost? How much did they charge for Guinness? |

| Of all the Irish pubs and restaurants in Korea are there any owned and operated by an actual Irishman? |

| Stan raises a great question. Are the Irish bars in Korea are run and/or operated by someone who is Irish or of Irish descent? |

This is correct. Incheon, aside from a few select areas, is an absolute pit. |

Wasn't Wolfhound in Itaewon run by an Irishman? And I've seen an Irish guy working at Wolfhound in Busan.
Also, O'Brien's in Changwon is semi-owned and run by an Irishman.
That said, what exactly is an Irish bar? A place that sells Guinness and Kilkenny on tap? Shoddy fish and chips? Horrid food all around? I'm genuinely curious. |

The lowest price (Cass or Hite) is about 3k, and the highest price (Guiness) will be around 7.5k. The rest are somewhere in between.
There's a German white beer that he tried that he said was really nice. They will also have Alley Cat and Red Rock. It'll all be on tap. The owners are are gyopo and an American guy.
It should be open to the public in the next couple of weeks, maybe sooner. |

| If any posters from here go, why don't we wear some sort of secret recognition item that identifies us as such. Like a pin or button attached to the left shoulder or something. That would be kewl. |

What's David's in Song Do has had both Kilkenny and Guinness on tap for over 2 years. |

Any 'Irish' pub that charges more than 8000 for a pint of Guinness gets my personal boycott.
Why is Guinness always the most expensive beer in any Korean bar?
It's the same price as any other beer in most other countries.
Frustrated Irishman here. My usual night at the pub back home would consist of about 6 pints of Guinness and a couple of whiskey chasers......that would cost me roughly 40,000 won in Belfast......if I went to a hof or Wa Bar in Gangnam it would be over double that! |

The owner of my local said that it costs him 6,000 won per pint to buy it in. |
