 |
|
| I just learned about a new microbrewery in Itaewon. Craftworks Taphouse. http://craftworkstaphouse.com/ Anyone been? Is it good? It is about time Itaewon got a microbrew pub. Most expensive pints are only supposed to be KRW5000. Pretty cheap for good beer. |

I'm biased because I know quite a few of the people involved, but, I gotta say: they did a damned good job. I've done events with the beer before, and it's the same quality from Ka-Brew you expect, but the cooking staff is what makes it. The meat is just damned good man. They've raised the bar for any place calling itself a "bistro" in Korea. |

| I went there on opening night and liked it. Large enough place, the beer tasted pretty good, great compared to Cass, Hite, and Max. I'll probably go again. |

| Whoa, no smoking. OK, scratch that place off the list. Not even a non-smoking section? Pretty lame. |

There's a covered, wrap-around veranda and I think you can smoke in there. |

The place is incredible! I have been the last two nights. The beer is all real micro-brew, not pasteurized like the rest of the crap out there. The prices are great - 4,000 to 6,000 for a pint of amazing beer. Their hefeweizen is only 4,000 and is superb. Especially compared to Maloney's who has an imported hefeweizen for 8,500.
The just got a new chef and have been trying out different menus each night. A few nights ago was all you can eat pasta for 13,000 and last night was MEAT night. I had a grain-fed sirloin steak for 19,000. Perfect! Again, the beer alone is worth it.
The veranda out back is smoking and is heated so it's great.
Website with directions: http://craftworkstaphouse.com/
They've been posting their nightly menu on their facebook page and will launch a full menu sometime soon: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Craftworks-Taphouse-Bistro/123505731037061
Quiz night was cool, too. We came in 3rd and got a free round!
Anyway, more info on the website. Again, I can't stress enough how awesome it is to have a place like this! |

The no-smoking policy is reason enough for me to check it out. |

Any exposure to tobacco smoke � even from the occasional cigarette to second-hand smoke � can cause immediate damage to your body, according to a report being released today by the U.S. Surgeon General.
