Overview

Chicken & beer is an obsession in Korea. You must experience this in the most immersive way possible before leaving Seoul.

Your guide is a food writer who consulted for Anthony Bourdain and food TV shows and magazines.

Go to three vastly different chicken restaurants and pubs that only locals know about. Each place has its story.

The first stop is an old school '90s style chicken "hof" to kick off the evening with different flavors of fried chicken and frosty beer.

After walking through the whole market, duck into a cozy country inn type of pub for some smoky barbecued chicken.

Then trek back through the market to a secret find that features a modern take on Korean chicken and beer, serving boneless morsels of dark meat in a spicy gochujang sauce, smothered in cheese. After toasting with beers served in authentic WWII canteen cups, relax to the '80s playlist while enjoying the atmosphere of the tavern, decorated with the owner's personal collection of WWII memorabilia.

What To Expect

Mangwon Market
Mangwon Market has been going through a renaissance. Younger people have come in and opened interesting restaurants, pubs, and food stands next to the older proprietors. It feels like a revived traditional market that hasn't lost its character.

Good way to enjoy eating your way through Seoul!

The meeting place was super easy to find and Joe was a terrific guide. He took us to restaurants that we would never find in the tourist districts. We had completely different types of chicken (all delicious!) and a lot of good beer to drink.
Amazing!

This was my second tour with Joe following a brilliant and exciting ghost tour. Joe was amazing, friendly, and funny and unsurprisingly he went above and beyond his mission. As for the chicken and beer, it was five stars just like our guide. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Seoul.
Great fun evening!

Very fun evening with Joe introducing us to the different types of Korean chicken (all delicious!) and plenty of beer! We visited 3 different places, ate and drank loads, and throughly enjoyed our evening. Joe is very entertaining and we enjoyed learning about Seoul, its food and people. We were a small group but everyone was great company, we laughed a lot, and hopefully we will meet up again in Busan. Would happily do again.
Best food tour in Seoul!

Amazing food, our tour guide, Joe was awesome. He’s extremely knowledgeable and most all, so much fun! We enjoyed fried chicken, beer, and much more. Our tour was a small group of like minded travelers looking to experience the Korean food scene and have conversation over a ton of food AND drinks! This tour is highly recommended and should be on your list for any trip to Seoul!
Well worth joining both the Authentic BBQ as well as Chicken & Beer tours

2 terrific nights out with Joe experiencing chicken & beer and then bbq (and beer) in truly local spots. You can be assured Joe has done his research and picked winners while making it easy to enjoy them all on one night. Walking is required, especially on the chicken & beer tour, but you get to experience first hand Joe's local knowledge gained over decades of living in Seoul. Although we ate out every night for 2 weeks, we found nothing to equal the quality and diversity of foods Joe introduced to us. He's also super organized and, after the tour, he follows up with a map highlighting where you've been. We are looking forward to recreating these wonderful experiences on our next trip to Seoul. Thanks Joe!
