Joo Pocha Gastropub & Karaoke

Came here originally because I heard this place was dog friendly. This place more than exceeded my expectations! Not only were the staff super accommodating to my two pups, the service and food were so damn good. Ktown is honestly congested with so many bars and it's a point where food HAS to be top quality to survive. The food here was actually SO good! We got the chicken feet, fish cake soup, stir fried pork belly, pork feet, and a whole bunch of skewers. Everything was superb. Personally, I think it's getting harder and harder to find more authentic Korean foods as Korean food has become increasingly popular. This place does Korean bar food justice. The outdoor setting is perfect for groups (and obviously dogs). This place gives old school Korean bar vibes but with up-to-date food/drinks/specials. Kicker? There's karaoke inside for your second round.Probably my favorite bars in ktown, and I rarely post reviews and I don't say this lightly. Wish I took more pictures/videos to justify, but for now, this will have to do. Love this place!Tip: for parking, there's valet available on the Hobart entrance!

Ready to turn up for the weekend?! If you're still looking for ideas, this K-Town Pocha has got you covered for fun, vibes, food, karaoke, and draaaanks! We had a good time, the food and drinks were flowing, all I can say is this place is pretty expensive and the mike was a little touch and go. So go in expecting these things.

We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday cause she really enjoys Karaoke and Korean food. We started out by having dinner at the outdoor patio area because it was easier to eat at the table than inside the karaoke room even though the waiter also gave us options to eat inside. We ordered Army Stew, Spicy Chicken, and Tonkatsu. Since the food portion here was generous, we were able to share them among 4 of us and it was pretty filling. We all really loved the Army Stew and Tokatsu. After dinner, we moved inside to the Karaoke room and stayed for 2hours there. We also ordered some beers and flavored soju for some awesome soju bomb. The karaoke machine and remote are all in Korean, but the waitress gave us a written instructions in English to help us navigate it. We were able to find all the song we were looking for without any problems. There are plenty of parking spots right outside of the patio dining area. Overall, everyone had a good time!

First and foremost, they are dog friendly here since the food spot is kind of outside. I love it! I came here before for their karaoke room, all my friends including me had a great time. Plus the price is reasonable. This time I wanna come back for their food! We ordered:- Scroched Rice Soup - it's packed with flavors and lots of ingredients along with crispy rice. I'm surprised how tasty it is. - Popcorn Chicken with Green Onions - well fried chicken and comes with green onions, Mac salad, and honey mustard. They pair really well together. - Spicy Whelk Noodles - My first time trying this and I'm impressed by this. Noodle is well cooked and mix in the spicy octopus and veggie then bam deliciousness. It's a cold noodle dish.Service was excellent! They even offer a dog treat for my friend's doggy when we first got seated. A dog meal is $7.99. I'll have to bring my doggies back here! We also enjoyed their little banana milk.Pls add me if you like my vibe! Here's my IG Imjennime

A friend recommended this place for Karaoke. At first when we arrived, I thought this place seems a bit run-down. There is a parking lot right in front and you walk over to the dining space, which is outdoor but with a tent. I must say that atmosphere was lacking for me. We ordered drinks and a few dishes and after we ate, we moved to a private room for karaoke. The table inside the karaoke room lights up, which is a nice touch. The karaoke system is in Korean and thanks to my friends, we were able to navigate the system. Women restroom is quiet small so be careful when you open the door. You can actually hit someone! Staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great time!

Cozy outdoor pocha :)My friends and I came here and we had a good time! It was great to have conversation (not loud) and get dinner w/drinks.The army stew hit the spot and the fries & sirloin pancakes were great for sharing with friends!!This place had cheaper alcohol compared to some other ktown pochas :)

Army stew was pretty good. This place also doubles as a karaoke bar and the restaurant is all the way in the back. Nice spot for late night vibes. Soju is 15 dollars for a bottle tho lol. Pretty packed when I went on a Friday around 12:30am

loved the food so much! the cream mala tteokbokki, army stew, and buldak were the star of the show but everything we got was so delicious. will definitely continue to come back here and it's so convenient having private karaoke rooms in the same building

This is my 2nd time visited this place. The food was so good, and they have all kind of great ANJU for drinks. The service was really good and very friendly as well. The great ambiance and good vibes. The microphone quality is another level, and all the equipment seem new and nice. I will definitely re-visit this place sometime soon again. Keep up with good work for continue to be good place. Thank you.

Great service and the emo were amazing and friendly I appreciate the hospitality and the very very kinds people
