Our Visit
* The following part of the blog is translated by AI.
Hello, today I visited the bar 'Earl' Hongdae branch, where you can experience a Korean ambiance. This place offers delicious side dishes and more than 10 types of various highball drinks, so you can enjoy according to your taste.
The interior is really clean, and the traditional Korean floor seating and decor stand out. The entire store has large windows, making it nice to look outside. Overall, the lighting was soft, creating a comfortable atmosphere and evoking the feeling of an old Korean bar.
I was impressed by the interior design that featured a 'gat' with historical significance from Korea, illuminated under a light.
I think the boss is really serious about alcohol. There's a bar inside, and there are various types of alcohol on display. If you order a highball, they will make it for you here. It was also fun to watch.
One of the advantages of this place is that you can conveniently order using a kiosk. We offer English, Japanese, and Chinese as services, so you can order in the language you are familiar with. The editor ordered pasta with canned cod roe, bacon cheese potato pancake, and grilled chicken feet, these three items.
Crab Roe Pasta
First, the crab roe pasta was served. Wow, it looks really delicious, doesn't it? I was surprised because the portion of pasta was large and there were more crabs than I expected. There is cheese sprinkled on the pasta and underneath, it is served with a sauce made from crab entrails.
There was just the right amount of meat in the crab, so I enjoyed it. I ate to my heart's content because there were so many crabs. They were very generous with the servings!
The savory flavor of crab innards blends well with the pasta noodles. It’s a new taste you’ve never tried before. I recommend you try ordering it!
Bacon Cheese Potato Pancake
This is bacon cheese potato pancake. It looks similar to pizza. There is a generous amount of bacon, and it smells savory. Parsley is also sprinkled plentifully.
It looks like a fried potato pancake under the bacon and cheese. This is a new fusion dish where traditional Korean food jeon meets Western cuisine.
I'll take a bite from the bacon topping above to the potatoes below all at once!
It's really delicious on its own, but if you add some sauce, the flavor is enhanced. It was good to dip it in the regular hot sauce, and it was really delicious to dip it in mayonnaise!
There are more than 10 different types of highballs here. I think it feels special since Highball is also made with traditional Korean ingredients as the base. If it is difficult to choose due to the variety of highball options, try our best products!
Peach Blossom Highball
I also ordered the Peach Blossom Highball recommended by the owner. It has a strong and sweet taste with added peach fruit. When the highball with the brilliant purple color came out, the color and flowers were so pretty that I took a lot of pictures.
Sorac Highball
The second highball to come out is Sorac Highball. It comes in two cups with a unique container and visual appeal. Sorac Highball is a cinnamon stick-flavored apple highball that emphasizes an oaky aroma by infusing the drink with the scent of burnt cinnamon sticks. One cup contains liquor filled with smoke.
When you open the wooden cover that traps the smoke, you can feel the smoky aroma as the smoke escapes. I'll quickly pour it into another cup before all the smoke escapes.
It's a unique experience to make your own highball, and it's nice to be able to control the amount of alcohol. I poured it all in because I wanted to taste the full flavor.
When poured, the color changes to a yellowish hue.
Gently stir with a cinnamon stick and taste it! It was amazing to taste the smoky flavor and cinnamon aroma.
Grilled Chicken Feet
Now the last dish, spicy chicken feet, has come out. There are a lot of bean sprouts under the chicken feet. 'Earl' not only tastes good, but each menu item is beautifully presented and visually appealing.
Just looking at the peppers and fire chicken feet above makes my mouth water. The spicy taste served after the pasta and cheese potato pancakes, after the greasy food, seems to settle in the stomach.
I took a bite with the bean sprouts all at once. It's chewy and has a nice smoky flavor.
Dip it generously in mayonnaise sauce to neutralize the spiciness. It wasn’t as spicy as I thought! It goes really well with mayonnaise.
I tried eating a table full of food and highball like this. The combination of foods and highball went well together, and all the menus were presented beautifully and cleanly, which made me feel good. At the end, I regretted so I ordered one more highball.
Seoul Night Highball
This highball is called 'Seoul Night'. I'm enjoying the night in Seoul right now, and I ordered it because the name is pretty. 'Seoul Night' highball is a plum-scented highball that you can enjoy neatly with plums and green grapes on top.
There are two pickled plums and a lemon skewered on a highball. I tried eating the plum, and it's a bit sour but refreshing. It was a delicious highball with a plum flavor! Today, I visited 'Earl', a bar in Hongdae where you can enjoy a highball and delicious food. Various highballs and pretty foods, and with Korean-style interior, it seems like a good place to visit with loved ones on special days. Creatrip offers discount coupons, so be sure to visit!
