Seattle in Seoul

Turns out I didn't need to fly across the pacific to visit Seattle! I came across this bar on the weekend and had to take a picture (notice the little Space Needle on the right!) I don't know what the liquor laws are like here in Korea, but they must be a little looser than back home. Drinking establishments like this seem to be everywhere, in every neighbourhood. Called "Hofs," they are usually small, dark, and more often than not seem to serve grilled chicken with the beer and soju. The name Hof is derived from the German word "Hoffbrau"—if someone can explain how Koreans latched on to the term I would love to hear it.
