A British bar with great drinks and cocktails.
Very chill with a modern grunge atmosphere. Nice open layout with tables and low or high seats. There is also a small patio with an awesome outdoor corner bench/booth seating area if you are lucky to be able to get it.
Bulldog Mascot. I think it's supposed to be scary, but I think it's actually pretty cute!
One of my favourite summer British drinks I always get whenever I visit the UK - PIMM'S.
Everyone asks what's in it?
So essentially, Pimm's itself is a gin based liquer. For the Pimm's drink, it is typically mixed with sprite (or as they call it in Britain "lemonade"), mixed fruits such as oranges, strawberries, cucumber and mint leaves over a ton of ice so it's ice cold!
Pimm's on steriods with a Strongbow in it! Strongbow is also an English dry bitter-sweet cider of a 50 apple blend! I think this was 17 500W.
The Original Classic here. It is served in a huge Mason jar, and has 4 shots of Pimm's in it. I think this was 12 000W. Great and refreshing, made with tons of fresh fruit.
I think they are litre sized Mason jars! Both of these drinks need two hands to pick up! Totally worth it!
They also have a series of "Tea-Tini's" here. Tea based cocktails you can get with or without alcohol, served in a very cute glass tea pot! This one was "Tea-na Colada". Cute names, they also had some called "Peach-teani's" and "Gin and Tea-nic"...something like that. All very good.
They also have a list of champagne cocktails - but I just keep getting the Pimm's everytime!
I borrowed this picture of popcorn from another site, but I had to give a shout out to it. It is the BEST popcorn I've had in Korea! It's salty and a bit vinegary, and the servers said they actually spray a Worcestershire sauce on it. It is so addictive...and it's free like peanuts or pretzels would be in a bar in the states.
"Bangers and Mash" is a very common British dish which is sauces and mashed potatoes with gravy. They took that concept and made mini banger and mash into a hot dog. It was better than my picture looks! I like how they have smaller portions on the hot dogs so you can try other things.
We usually come here after dinner, so we just order a serving of their Bulldog Fries since they are pretty darn awesome. The fries themselves are seasoned, super crispy and always piping hot fresh out of the fryer. They are drizzled with garlic mayo, topped with steak, real bacon bits and a serving of coleslaw and kimchi in the corners. I love that so you can adjust how much you want on it as you eat.
Next time, need to come before we eat so we can actually try some of the other food here. Everything I've had has been good - but the drinks and popcorn alone make it worthwhile to come here!
It's on the second floor, literally across the street from Left Coast - an awesome burger, sliders and beer joint. (post on that to come soon)
What? A British bar with fantastic drinks and different cocktails.
Who? It's a bar, so it would be for an older crowd rather than like a restaurant scene.
