Today’s restaurant is Yeonbora, an Eungam-dong pub with just the right atmosphere for a couple’s date.

Various menu items stood out from the entrance,

but the Jeju ddaksaeu shrimp written under Best caught my eye the most.

Still, a worry suddenly came first.

The person I went to eat with could not drink alcohol.

When I asked the owner, thankfully they said it was okay even if we did not drink. Nice!

A decoration that caught my eye as soon as I entered:

A toast to your eyes.

If you drink this, we are dating.

All kinds of silly lines popped into my head, and the urge to make terrible jokes surged.

But these were jokes I could not use on the person eating with me γ… γ…  So close…

I do not think the feel and atmosphere come across fully in photos.

At the seats inside, a projector was showing video, making an interior that could have been plain feel stylish.

The pubs I sometimes visit feel more like restaurants,

but this place had a decent atmosphere in a different way.

The menu design looks like a notebook, cute and cozy.

This is the full menu.

The real Jeju ddaksaeu shrimp stood out right at the top of Best, so we ordered it immediately.

Plus two Zero Cokes.

Since pub food can be light if we only eat ddaksaeu shrimp, I planned to add ramen or something if we got hungry,

but both I and the person with me had eaten lunch until our stomachs were about to burst…

So we decided to go for quality over quantity haha

The interior shown in the photo above,

and the representative keywords that come up on Naver, like Eungam-dong pub, Saejeol Station pub, Eungam-dong beer, Eungam Five-Way beer, Seoul Eunpyeong-gu beer,

make it feel like the standard example of a pub perfect for dating someone you are flirting with or already dating.

When we came in from outside and were clearly suffering from the heat, they thoughtfully turned on a fan behind us.

Air conditioner + fan heaven…!

Owner, I love you γ… γ… 

After being worn down by the hot weather lately,

receiving that kind of sensible service made me feel treated like a precious guest, so I simply felt good.

Tasty popcorn and cold iced Zero Coke!

Kya~ This feeling of getting drunk without alcohol.

As I was wetting my throat with cola, the Jeju ddaksaeu shrimp appeared!

naver-075-021

It was my first time ever eating this, so I did not even know how to eat it.

The person I went with personally demonstrated how to prepare it.

Following the skilled instructor’s demonstration,

I removed the tail shell, pulled out the flesh, and tried it…

I was surprised that the shell was harder than expected,

surprised that the flesh was softer than expected,

and surprised that it made me crave alcohol more than expected!

Wow…

At this point I almost threw overeating and dieting and everything else aside,

added ramen right away, and downed a draft beer in one shot.

Did I do well holding back…?

I do not know γ… γ… 

Since I was already eating, I kind of regret not ordering more…

Anyway, I do not really know whether it was in season or not,

but since it tasted good and had roe, I wondered if it might be seasonal shrimp. It was pretty good.

On the way out, the owner thoughtfully gave us two dessert candies.

It felt like they understood exactly how to treat customers in a way that makes them happy.

Thanks to that, I could leave the shop smiling brightly.
