“ I had an incredible experience at Hana Makgeolli! I did the rice wine tour, which was super informative and fascinating--it was amazing to learn about the process and history behind their makgeolli. Alice Jun led the tour herself, and it was such a treat to hear her story about how she started making rice wine. The wines we tasted were all fantastic, but my favorite was the Takju--it was so smooth and flavorful. I also had a matcha cocktail, which I absolutely loved. Overall, an amazing experience with delicious drinks--I highly recommend it! ”

“ Hana has been on my list for ages. Tucked away in an industrial quieter area of Greenpoint. The vibe is chill and cool. Opted for the Hana set which came with the pancake, the dubu kimchi with pork belly, and a carafe of makgeolli. This was such a good deal for $60. Both dishes were pretty good. The makgeolli was kinda sour but still refreshing. Also tried out a bunch of other makgeolli. I liked the filtered one which was akin to wine Overall a cute spot perfect for hanging out with friends or for a date. Fun since you can try out a bunch of makgeolli. Kinda wish they had more food options though. ”

“ Fried mushrooms were bomb!!! The drinks weren't my favorite as they are pretty strong and the texture does get pretty thick, but it was fun to try! Space is extremely nice and waiters are attentive and helpful! Do recommend coming :) ”

“ This is a neighborhood treasure! If you find yourself in Greenpoint, I wouldn't miss it. It's tucked away between some warehouses but worth the trip there! Alice, the founder, is the nicest. The ambiance there felt like one big family. Drinks: They specialize in makgeolli and the staff are very well-versed in it. Definitely get the flight to try and then pick the one you like most to get a carafe of. The ceramics they are served from are also beautiful and really enhances the tasting experience. Food: Amazing food for a bar/brewery, they give the Korean restaurants in the city a real run for their money. Even without the makgeolli, they could be a successful restaurant. Definitely get the bossam, it's delicious and the quantity is very generous. The pajeon is sooo crispy, which most restaurants fail to achieve, but they made it so effortlessly. Truly one of the best pajeon's ever in terms of texture! Their kimchi is a must as an accompaniment to the meal. Every restaurant has their own kimchi recipe and I think it really showcases how well they understand flavor profiles. It's a perfect match to pair with the makgeolli. ”

“ Came here a few months ago with a group of friends and we had a good time! We tried a few different types of makgeolli and some of the food. I wish they had a few more small bite options but great ambiance and service! ”

“ The tasting flight was a cool experience! Each flavor was smooth and didn't taste too strong. I particularly liked the hwaju for its floral flavors. The pajeon was very tasty and crispy! As for the bibimguksu, I wouldn't recommend this one. I wasn't a fan of the spaghetti-like noodles they used and the sauce was a bit too sour. ”

“ Really great ambiance that's conducive to hanging out with friends. Makgeolli tasted quite authentic, here's what we got: -Sesame Sour (5/5): my favorite drink by far. Super light and refreshing, deceiving strong -Banana Milk (4/5): reminiscent of banana milk, this drink has no dairy and it on the sweeter side. more of a dessert cocktail -Tasting flight (4/5): super fun to sample all the makgeollis; tasted very fresh, pretty strong -Anju Board (4/5): a bit on the small side, but really yummy accompaniments to the alcohol -Pajeon (4/5): by this point we were blasted, so the pa jeon hit. The pa jeon is super crisp and the chunks of scallion are very large. A bit oily but very flavorful, very good if you are feeling the alcohol Service was pretty good! We showed up late and they were able to accommodate us for nearly 2 hours. Would recommend to go in a group to try as many drinks as possible! ”

“ I don't think I've been to a makgeolli bar before, so this was a fun and unique experience! We enjoyed the flight tastings, and I loved the sweeter cocktail called Sujeonggwa. The pajeon (vegetable pancake) is darker and crispier than expected, but was good bar food paired with the drinks. There are only a few tables and a small bar area, so this spot is probably more manageable for smaller groups (though we did see one larger group of 6). Definitely make reservations if possible! ”

“ Is this place considered Brooklyn even though I, who originally started from Brooklyn, have to take the train to Manhattan and then take the 7 train (typically a Queens train) to get here? We had to walk on the Pulaski Bridge too (which is a pretty sight at night). For my fellow directionally challenged friends, I highly recommend using Apple Maps so they give you a step-by-step walking guide to when you're supposed to get off the bridge Besides the walking adventure, this is a pretty quaint place in a very quiet neighborhood. It seems like there's nothing open at this time around here besides this neon lit industrial styled bar. I remembered reading a negative review about the pajeon but I actually found it to be good - it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also ordered the takju carafe and we had mixed opinions on it but we still liked it. I would definitely come back here to try their sikhye cocktail since I had missed my chance to do so this time. ”
