This gem, down an alley opposite Terarosa, lives in a ramshackle wooden house with a low ceiling. Park yourself at the beautiful, dark bar, constructed of old pine planks from a Buddhist temple that was destroyed in a fire. There's no beer on tap, just a chilled cabinet of local (from ₩6000) and a few international beers, plus spirits.
