Craft Hans

This tavern is located in the bustling area of Hongdae, and although it may look quite distinctive from the outside, there are many diners inside the restaurant. After wandering around the area, we decided to take a chance and go in for a drink 🍷. To our surprise, no staff greeted us when we entered. After a while, a female server noticed us and spoke a series of words in Korean that we couldn’t understand. When we asked if she could speak English, she made an "ah" sound and then continued to talk in Korean. It seemed we had no choice but to take out our translation device for help… but regardless, she continued to speak entirely in Korean! It wasn’t until an Asian person who understood Korean helped us translate that we finally found a spot to sit on the top floor!

The restaurant was very noisy, making it hard to hear each other's voices; we had to lean in close to hear our friends! Now, regarding the drinks…
I ordered a very ordinary ❤️ Apple Margarita. It felt like... the syrup was spilled; this drink contained at least double the amount of apple 🍎 syrup compared to usual. Not only was it overly sweet, but the serious issue was that there was no taste of alcohol; I couldn't tell if I was drinking cold syrup for a cold or sugary soda water. In the end, none of us finished our drinks before leaving the restaurant!

As we left, we were relieved that we only came for drinks and didn’t plan to eat, especially since even my friend’s choice of the usually safe whiskey soda was as light as drinking water! It felt like this restaurant was relying on a great location and just casually preparing food and drinks, which was very disappointing! I specifically noted this experience down so that I wouldn’t step into this place again in the future!
