Why go

Samcheon 2(i)-dong Makgeolli Street is a clustered street of makgeolli pubs (traditional Korean rice-wine houses) in Jeonju's Samcheon 2-dong neighborhood, where small pubs serve makgeolli — the unfiltered, milky Korean rice-wine that is one of Korea's oldest traditional alcoholic drinks — alongside the traditional makgeolli-pub format of generous spreads of Korean side dishes (anju) included with the drink order. Jeonju's Samcheon makgeolli tradition has a long history and the format — order makgeolli by the kettle, receive a generous spread of anju side dishes — is one of the most distinctive Korean drinking-culture experiences. Best in late afternoon through evening hours, paired with broader Jeonju Hanok Village and food-culture itineraries.
