Want to Watch Soccer with a Beer? - Jongno-gu Edition

Hello everyone! Are you watching the Qatar Asian Cup that's currently underway? If you are, where are you enjoying the matches? I personally love watching it at home with my family, and also with friends while enjoying a beer. Today, I'm going to introduce some places where you can fully immerse yourself in the excitement of football and enjoy some drinks. I'll be introducing three spots in Jongno-gu, so why not check them out for the next match?

Shakespeare BEER

First up, let me introduce you to Shakespeare BEER. It's about a 5-minute walk from Jonggak Station Exit 4. They describe it as a place that makes you feel like you're in London's Underground, creating an illusion of being in the UK. As you can see from the photos, they offer pizzas and fish and chips with a British vibe, along with a variety of beers, wines, whiskey highballs, and gin and tonics. Being a British-style pub, you can find traces of football here. One wall is decorated with football jerseys, hinting that the owner is a football fan. Although the screens aren't huge, there are TVs scattered around, making it a good choice for football match days.

Cheonggyecheon Hyu

Next, let me introduce Cheonggyecheon Hyu. It's located a 4-minute walk from Jonggak Station. They describe it as a 'domestic draft beer specialty store with a large space and a large screen, perfect for enjoying sports broadcasts while having a beer.' In addition to the large screen, there are smaller screens installed throughout the space, making it an ideal spot for enjoying sports matches. If you're looking for a spacious, open view, budget-friendly menus, and a lively, large pub atmosphere, then Cheonggyecheon Hyu is the place for you!

Radost

Now, let me introduce Radost. It's located just a 1-minute walk from Jonggak Station Exit 4, making it very accessible. The name Radost means 'joy' in Czech, and the owner chose it because they wanted visitors to always leave with a feeling of joy. Isn't that heartwarming? Radost is a Czech-style pub that offers Pilsner and Kozel draft beers. You can choose the amount of foam for Pilsner – Milko, Smooth, Crispy, or Half & Half – and for Kozel, you have Lager, Dark, or Cinnamon Dark to select from. They also have Italian beers, and the quality of the beer is said to be excellent, so I highly recommend trying them if you're a fan of foreign draft beers. Plus, there are screens scattered throughout the pub, making it perfectly suitable for watching sports games. If you're not a fan of crowded or loud places, Radost is a great option for you!
