Gamaksae 가막새

In the back alleys of Sinchon lies this traditional bar called Gamaksae, which means "black bird' in Korean.

When you enter the bar, you will feel as if you're back in the past, with the wood furnishings and bird nests on the ceiling- almost like a traditional folk village.

Gamaksae only serves Korean drinks such as Makgeolli & Dongdongju (traditional Korean rice wines), Bekseju and Soju (akin to the being "vodkas of Korea"), along with Korean pancakes known as "Pajeon".

The most popular menu of Gamaksae is Gamjajeon (Potato Pancake) and Dakdoritang (Braised Chicken Soup).

You'll need to take off your shoes before entering. All seats are on the floor.
