Great atmosphere...
eligible bachelors....
2 for 1 Fish and Chips on Tuesdays...
Art....
Cheap and tasty beverages...
I don't happen to eat fish, but maybe you do! You cant beat 2 for 1 Tuesdays.
If you dont eat seafood, no worries, lots of great vegetarian choices on their menu.
I had some family visit recently,and The Wolfhound was top on the list of places to take them to!
While dining at The Wolfhound Pub (more on that later), I ran into Dan Gray from Seoul Eats!
We talked foodie talk, and I admired Dan's new camera (although Dan shoots with a Canon, not a Nikon......poor Dan...)
The only explanation I have for my entirely unflattering and strange pose position is that I spent the afternoon watching Hunchback of Notre Dame, and perhaps I was just paying homage to Quasimodo.
Last night, I dreamt about this burger...
The Wolfhound's new veggie burger. The last time I had it, was when it first officially premiered on their new menu- October 16th. Then I went away to the US for a few weeks and now I am back and inundated with family Christmas photo shoots (my " real job").
But apparently deep down I am hankering for their veggie burger. If you havent had it yet, it is awesome. They don't skimp on the size at all, as this burger is so big is spills over the bun. The texture is crunchy and creamy- all at the same time, making it the perfect veggjie burger in Seoul.
You can check out their website here for a full view of their new menu.
Man- I really need to get over to The Wolfhound soon.
Anyway want to join me?
I have been to the The Wolfhound Pub enough times now to call it "my bar".
I feel comfortable when I walk in. The lighting is glowing. But not too dark that it's seedy. There are booths and chairs and stools to choose from- all decently comfortable.
The bathrooms were recently renovated and they are VERY nice.
I've been there on dates, I've been there in mixed company, Ive been there for ladies nights with my friends.
Like I said, it's my Go To bar.
I don't eat seafood, but if you do- you have to check out The Wolfhound's 2 for 1 deal on Tuesdays.
Buy 1 fish and chips plate, your friend gets one for free!
(or I suppose you could keep them both for yourself.)
Heading out for late drinks with friends?
They have a good selection of on tap beers, cocktails and shooters.
(best Mojitos in town!)
Need a small bite to eat with your drinks?
These mozzarella sticks are unlike the normal bar food cheese sticks. These things are very low on grease, deliciously gooey with a crunchy exterior.
Or maybe you want a real meal...
Burger and mashed potatoes
Burger and chips
And the piece de resistance.....
Their new veggie burger! That is now officially ON their menu!
Hooooooooraaaaay!!!!!
I think there is a little something for everyone at The Wolfhound Pub.
And while I do think of it as "my bar", I'm willing to share.
www.wolfhoundpub.comOver the summer the Wolfhound in Itaeweon went thru some physical renovations and some menu renovations.
When I visited the Wolfhound in August, the veggie burger was not on the menu yet, but the owner talked the chef into making it for me.
This thing was HUGE. And it came with a generous handful of their homemade "chips".
It's black bean based and very moist and tasty. I personally found it lacking a little crunch, and suggested adding chopped celery, but that's my personal preference.
I'd suggest ordering the cheese sticks as an appetizer...
These are NOT your garden variety cheese sticks. These are gourmet. And not stringy, but ooey gooey.
(In a good way!)
So start with the cheese sticks and then split the veggie burger with someone.

** The veggie burger should be on the menu by October 16th!**
My weekend started Friday night with a Ladies Night out on the town with my gal friends.
In total, I believe there was 7.
While I have hosted 2 ladies night's at my apartment, this was our first outing. Since I organized the event, I chose the restaurant and -suprise suprise- I went with Indian! Of course! I chose Chaakra in Itaewon, the alley behind the Hamilton hotel.
They were having a big Buffet, so for only roughly $13 per person we got to try a variety of appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts. Great deal.
My first course was composed of a variety of Indian salads and a creamy tomato soup.
The salads were fresh and good, but the soup was amazing. I think the key to it being so amazing was fresh chicken stock, but I am pretending that's not the case, as I am a vegetarian. Oh well. It was good.
Round two was saffron rice and a chick pea and spinach main dish.
Our server, a very courteous Indian man, brought out fresh hot Naan to our table and this big plate of Chicken Tandoori.
The dessert choices...
Of course, I had to sample it all.
Some of our group of gals had never tried Indian food before and I think the buffet offered them a wide range of tasty choices. Sure, buffet food often pales in comparison to freshly made to order meals, but all in all, it was a good choice for us. I will definitely go back to Chakraa for the hot delicious Naan and them extremely polite server/manager.
Next, we headed to a nearby bar called The Bungalow for a drink.
This place was very cool. It was made up of 3 levels and offered patrons the option of kicking off their shoes and enjoying their drinks in sand pits and hammocks! We choice to sit on a porch decorated with paper laterns.
I enjoyed a very lightweight pina colada.
We all agreed our drinks were too expensive and too watered down to stay for another round, so we headed off to bar #2.
A street over found as at a bar called Bedlam.
I got a mocha martini, but after a few small sips I decided it was waaay too strong for me.
Look, our feet!
This bar was INSANELY hot inside, so we decided to switch to one last bar, an English pub that Kristen and I have been to before called The Wolfhound.
They make the best fresh mojitos around.
We had an awesome night on the town. I'll tell you what! Moms NEED time out like this just to be women!
