This is a Korean-style draft beer pub on Friendship Highway in Korea Town, Angeles. It has a "Grandma's Beer 1978" neon logo and a Korean-language sign, and blog posts sometimes list it as the Clark branch. Along with draft beer, it serves dried snacks like squid mouths and octopus legs, as well as fried dishes and meals.
The retro-style interior combines red brick walls with neon lighting, and beer posters hang on the walls. Many reviews say it feels like a Korean hof pub transplanted as-is. The draft beer comes in a frozen mug with a thin layer of ice crystals on top. Several reviews say the beer stays cold to the very end even in hot weather. Several reviews mention that peanuts were served by default before the snacks were ordered. The place isn't big, but one review says the tables are spaced widely enough that it was easy to chat. Google Maps also marks it as suitable for groups. It draws Korean residents, travelers, and local customers alike, and one Google review says more locals come than tourists.
Among the snacks, the garlic and ginkgo nuts grilled in butter (₱300) is widely said to go well with beer. Lighter snacks such as butter squid (₱700), butter octopus legs (₱750), fried dried filefish (₱250), and cheese sticks (₱350) also come up often in reviews. An ice cream dessert that ends a drinking session on a sweet note was also featured in several reviews. One Google review says the prices are reasonable and there are many unusual snacks, so they came back several times. For a meal, you can choose budae-jjigae (army stew) (₱750), kimchi fried rice (₱300), chicken gangjeong (₱550), or Euljiro golbaengi-somyeon (spicy sea snail with wheat noodles) (₱750). It also has dinakdakan (₱450), a Filipino pork dish. One write-up also describes it as a good place to stop by for a second round after dinner.
According to Google Maps, free street parking is available. Hotel Vanna is right next door. Chungha Restaurant, Blue Moon Dining Pub & Family KTV, Jung's Kitchen, and Robinsons Easymart are about 50 m away, so it's easy to combine with other places in Korea Town. Inquiries can be made by phone.
