2 Best Nightlife in Jeju-do, South Korea

Magpie Brewing helped launch Korea's craft beer scene when they opened their first brewpub in Seoul in 2011. In 2016, they opened a beautiful brewery and taphouse in Jeju, repurposing an abandoned tangerine warehouse. (Last order is 7 pm and it's a bit out of town, however.) Much more accessible is Bluebird by Magpie, a lively second-story space in downtown Jeju, not far from Jeju International Airport. In addition to their four regular beers—the pale ale, porter, kölsch, and IPA—they serve a range of seasonal beers, often incorporating local elements such as Jeju tangerine peel and smoked pumpkin. The pub grub here is pretty good, too, including handmade pizzas and tasty chicken tenders. Tables and bar seating are available.

Jeju Beer is one of the island's most beloved craft beer brands, widely available on the Korean mainland as well. Their wheat ale is particularly popular, as is their citrusy Pellong Ale. The picturesque brewery in Hallim offers tours, though by reservation only, and only on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tours conclude at the third-floor pub, where you can sample the brewery's products. There's also a shop where you can buy Jeju Beer swag, as well as products from the brewery's many brand collaborations.
