Oktoberfest
It’s much quieter than Oktoberfest at this long-running microbrewery, but the quality is good, serving up four freshly produced brews. It's in a large, bare-brick and natural-wood cellar bar with brewing equipment on display. German-style meats are served by frock-clad lasses.

Castle Praha
Offering one of the most extraordinary facades in Seoul, this medieval fantasy pub has an equally bizarre dungeon-cum-cellar interior. It serves up several Czech-style pilsners and dunkels brewed in-house. There's also a menu of Czech foods like goulash, as well as pizzas and sausages.
