To close out the evening around Yongsan I wanted to visit a local brewery called The Hand and Malt Brew Lab Yongsan. It was about a 10-15 minute walk from Yongsan Station. I was to find out on my way home that its easier to get there underground through the metro station .

I’d decided to spend the day around the area where my hotel was so I’d headed to the I’Park Mall Yongsan for a bit of a look around. The mall is ontop of Yongsan railway station.
Getting peckish around noon I headed into the Taste Park section of the shopping centre and had a look for something to eat. On the 5th floor I saw a place called BBQ Olive Chicken Cafe which had decent reviews so I thought I’d head on in.

It was the afternoon of my first full day in Seoul, and as I was wandering back to a metro station to head back to my hotel I opened up my map to look for some beer. Closeby I found a bar called Tap Public. It took me a while to work out that the bar was in the basement of an office building. I was searching probably for the best part of 20 minutes before it dawned on me to go subterranean and there it was!

For my first day in Seoul I decided to head up a little north to the famous Insadong Street, close to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Jumping off the metro at Jong-Gag station I walked around the area for a while before heading a little further north towards the palace.
I didn’t go into the palace as it was coming toward lunchtime and I was hungry and thirsty.
Pulling up my map app I found a small local brewery close by called Kiwa Taproom very close to Seoul’s National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
