Chicken & beer is an obsession in Korea. You must experience this in the most immersive way possible before leaving Seoul.
Enjoy a night out with new friends, experiencing a typical night out if you lived in Seoul.
Go to three vastly different chicken restaurants and pubs that only locals know about. Each place has its story.
The first stop is an old school '90s style chicken "hof" to kick off the evening with different flavors of fried chicken and frosty beer.
After walking through the whole market, duck into a cozy country inn type of pub for some smoky barbecued chicken.
Then trek back through the market to a secret find that features a modern sizzling take on Korean chicken with a spicy gochujang sauce, smothered in cheese. After toasting with beers served in authentic military canteen cups while enjoying the atmosphere of the tavern, decorated with the owner's collection of WWII memorabilia.

Really wonderful tour led by Hannah, showing my wife and I some great chicken places in central Seoul. The tour was very relaxed and we could eat/drink as much as we wanted (i.e., there is no pressure to drink a lot or eat a lot). Highly recommend this to tourists wanting a unique tour and good food. Hannah was a great guide.

Great chicken/beer experience in a neighborhood away from the crowded central Seoul area. Three locals-filled places for three different tastings of fried, grilled chicken (and I really mean shared full dishes, not just samples). Thanks to our guide, Jeff, for the food and the engaging conversation!

Ron gave an excellent tour that included 3 old school, mom and pop chicken and beer places near Mangwon station. During the tour, he took me through the Mangwon market, which I'll definitely revisit at some point. All 3 stops included a variety of tasty chicken and beer combinations with some fun side dishes to compliment the flavors and offset a little bit of the spice. They all had the feel of older, dimly lit pubs, which enhanced the experience.
Ron was interesting to engage with as he spoke about some interesting aspects of the culture in Seoul. Though the tour features Cass and Red Rock beer, which is best with the chicken dishes, he also knows craft beer pretty well, so it was good to pick his brain on that with respect to Seoul.
I'd highly recommend taking this tour if you enjoy wings, beer and great conversation about Seoul.

Amazing!! The absolute best guide. Joe was funny, knowledgable and very engaging. The quaint restaurants served the best chicken I have ever had. An added bonus was the walking down alleyways and through markets to get to the next restaurant.

We got lucky and got two tour guides! Jeff and Ruth were so much fun and taught us a lot about Korea and the chicken and beer culture. Would definitely recommend this tour!

First of all our guide Joe is awesome…funny as hell!!! Knows his chicken and beer and took the time to explain which restaurants he chose and why…was not a random stop. After the tour was over he took us to a local joint for beer before we went home…if you like chicken and beer you cannot go wrong taking this tour it was a fun filled awesome evening

I had this experience solo. It lasts 3 hours and passed in 3 restaurants. The 3rd was the more original, but at that stage, you had enough of chickens. 1-2 =restaurant quite a similar plate. Guide very kind and interesting. Processed me to get the addresses of the restaurants I never received :(

I have thought very hard how to leave a review for this experience, 1 Star for the food however this lost 4 stars due to the following; The tour guide spoke about himself a lot, food reviews, where he has travelled to and where he was going to travel to. He commented on food other patrons had ordered, these comments were not necessarily positive, was this necessary?. He only touched on Korean food history and food culture, he made comment that the last leg of this tour, that we would stumble there as we would be drunk. He kept telling me if my glass was empty I would have to drink more, I was not inspired to finish my drink. He also told the group that South Korea is very much like North Korea with Propaganda, at this point I was disgusted . The tour guide was not South Korean, what South Korean would behave like this and talk horribly on their own country and hard earned freedom. I won’t say what country this guy was from but I can say that I will be telling as many people as possible not to book any of the 10 tours that Zenkimchi operate’s. This was definitely not an authentic South Korean experience, I didn’t pay $138 USD for this. In closing I could only take 1/4 of this event, I quietly slipped away in utter disappointment and disgust. If I wanted this experience I would have traveled to the country that this guy was from. If you want an authentic South Korean experience, do not book this. Attached is the proud owner of this disreputable tour

Joe is a great host. I actually booked this tour after having a great time on the bbq tour the previous night. If you are looking for a great time and food away from the touristy areas, this is the one for you!
