Zan Beer aka Zan ResPub

Yummy food and great service. You get big beer towers and There aré screens everywhere so the game or fight is always on! Try the zan burger or the grilled squid. Also make sure to use the call button for service, that’s how they do it here. Will definitely be back!

Came here on a Saturday night. Place is chill. Plenty of tables, good for groups. $ 30 for a 3 liter beer tower. Will come back for happy hour.

Reserve happy hour for late night turn up! Half off all drinks daily 11-​close. Place is chill and roomy. Plenty of food selections but we didn’t get to try any. Will definitely come back next time when I’m in the area.

Great sports bar with lots of tv’s and speakers all over the place. Lots of people here watching sports and ufc fight nights. Lots of beer, soju and Korean drinks selection with equally good food esp. the chicken wings! They have happy hour from 5−8pm & 11-​Close.

Nice place to have a good group of friends to drink and eat. Happy hour starts at 11PM. Good variety of food and beer towers to fit your party needs. It is noisy but still good enough to communicate with people. Plenty of tv to watch sports and other things.
A must place to go to in ktown

Good vibes! Upon entering, I was greeted by one of the servers. Good variety of food, beer, and soju to satisfy all your needs.
Lots of tv to watch the UFC fights for free which was nice! Very accommodating to big groups and good music to listen too

Off the hook, big, tvs, good food. Ian is dope, all staff go all out, hooked it up with a charger, awesome!!!

Came to Zan Beer for Game 5. Lots of beers. Lots of seating. Cool environment. Friendly staff. We ordered a pitched of Coors of Light. For food we ordered the Fried Dumplings, and three different types of wings including the Honey Butter Chicken Bites, Crispy Chicken Wings, and the Sweet and Spicy Wings.
Hoping the Warriors cause an uproar tonight and we celebrate in this lovely spot. Cheers!

We really wanted to like this place, however the service was completely lacking. Maybe it was due to a packed house watching the NBA finals… nonetheless no excuses. Our table was literally by the POS system where they put in orders so you know they could have easily checked in on us but that wasn’t the case.
— We had ordered the truffle cheese fries and calamari. Average and nothing special.
— Kirin will run you $ 20 a pitcher.
— Customer Service was disappointing. Yes they have the bell system but even when we pressed it, it was ignored. The easiest solution is flagging down someone.
— We had ordered crispy chicken wings twice and it never came out the entire time we were there watching the game. Of course when the check came out crispy chicken wings were on there and we had to tell them to take it off.
Overall this is a great place to watch the game and have a couple of beers. Other than that the food is nothing special. Customer service definitely needs improvement.
I also failed to mention for some reason their table settings doesn’t include napkins. Just chopsticks and a plate. Maybe they are going green? Who knows.

Not the best experience here. Came on a Wednesday evening around 6pm to catch the Warriors vs. Cavs game. We sat in the bar area because I saw on Unilocal that they have happy hour from 4pm-​7pm and on Wednesdays they have $ 5 wings. However when we got seated they handed us a menu with VERY EXPENSIVE items. I asked the bartender if they were having happy hour and she said they don’t have it on game days. She also was not that friendly lol. A plate of garlic fries was like $ 9, I am not kidding you. Since we originally went in expecting to eat wings, we decided to order wings anyway, even though they weren’t $ 5. Turns out, they were $ 15, and they only give 8pcs. EIGHT WINGS FOR $ 15. Almost $ 2 a piece… those wings better be freakin amazing. Oh and guess what? THEY’RE NOT. I have honestly made better wings at home. There is no flavor on the wings and the sauce they came with was really thin so essentially flavorless. So including tax and tip, we basically spent $ 18 on 8 shitty chicken wings. Needless to say, I will NEVER return to Zan Beer.

Having a great time at Zen Beer.
This place is amazing, the servers are so great.
The décor is on point and the have the perfect
sports atmosphere. I’m definitely bringing the rest
of my friend’s here.

In search of the best sports bar in Ktown, I went to check out the new watering hole to catch the game with some friends. Here’s the down and dirty:
Parking is free with validation for two hours.
The food was okay. Your typical bar foods: burgers, wings, fries, etc. Tried the Spicy & Sweet Wings, Fries, and Edamame. Not the most interesting selections, but none of the other items on the menu looked enticing. I will note however that because there was a game, they offered their special event menu. I don’t know how this compares to their usual menu, but the price was a little high (running about $ 12 – 16 per dish, e.g. wings, burgers, etc). The beer selection was decent, carrying about 20 or so different types of beer and at a good value. Overall the place was okay but there’s bars with better food and better TV screen positioning in Ktown.

Sports bar in k-​town that serves up good bar bites and beer!
I like the booths to watch the game. It’s a round, communal, open space that they have going on.
Wings, garlic fries and pitcher of beers. Awesome!

What can I say? The only sports bar in k-​town with the the best happy hour in town. How can you beat $ 3 dollar for all draft during happy hour, and happy hour doesn’t only happen once but happy hour occurs when you see the bar tender, Julia. Yes you will agree, her beers brings all the boys to the bar. Happy hour is from 5 – 8 and 11 to close, so during game time and there after.
Come one come all, it’s all love at the k-​town pub crawl.

Heard of this place from a friend. One of the go to spots in k town. Walked in. And instantly felt a good vibe. Drinks are beyond reasonably inexpensive. Happy and friendly staff
(leonie is the
) ready to serve. over all good vibes. The half and half fried chicken is one of the best I have had. And there burger is the best thing ever since sliced bread. Great music. Corner of Wilshire & Alexandria. You cannot miss this place. Will return.

Great happy hour menu!
$ 3 pints and $ 5 daily food specials
M– tofu salad
T– chicken tacos
W– chicken wings
Th– nachos
F– calamari or dumplings
Julia is the main bartender and Leonie is the head server for the massive dining area. They’re both friendly and make sure everyone at their area is taken care of.
I would definitely make this my local watering hole!

Came here for a UFC fight. There’s a $ 10 cover per person, and they don’t have a full menu. They have an event menu specifically for special events like a UFC fight.
Truffle Cheese Fries
— Average amount of fries
— Wish the cheese was a little gooey-​er
— Truffle flavor was great
Fish and Chips
— Fish was pretty good quality. Tasted better than I thought it would
Sweet and Spicy Wings
— More like spicy and spicy and spicy. If you like spicy, this is the dish for you.
— The wings actually have a ton of meat on them. Not some puny ones you see at bars.
Cheese Nachos
— So big we couldn’t even eat it all
— One of my favorites that we ordered that night
The soju is also really cheap, but be careful because that stuff creeps on you!

First off I checked in to get the free soju dominos shots. In order to get it for free one has to check in, click redeem and then write a review. I asked our waitress how can I write a review if it’s my first time here and I haven’t even tried a single thing but the mango soju right now? She like you could say «good waitress or mango soju was good or else my boss won’t let me give you the dominos shots.» I told her I’ll write a review once I see how service, food and my experince was AFTER. So my friends were all like okay ms Unilocal elite just write something short so we can get our free drinks. So I wrote one sentence good mango soju and when I got home I decided to rewrite my review.
Beside the fact that they make u give them good reviews for free shots… the food and service was on point that they shouldnt have to bribe anyone to write a review for shots. I thought by making me do it on the spot it was gonna ruin my experince but it actually didnt. We all enjoyed the kim chi alfredo, lobster, green onion boneless chicken and the dominos shots. It was a fun experiences. Our whole table got free beer and soju up to (6 people.)
Food was delish! We would definitely be back for their happy hour and if that free dominos shots offer still available.
They also have reverse happy hour but it’s drinks only.
Flat rate of 2 bucks so don’t bother circling around trying to find parking on the street.

Zan or Jjan is Korean onomatopoeia for two glasses or mugs clinking together when one cheers. There was plenty of zan in the air at this huge sports bar on St. Patty’s Day. The ceilings are tall contributing to some horrible acoustics, but the service is fast and there are buttons located on the wall for each table.
Fried chicken wings were crispy. Pretty decent and comes with a side of pickled radish.
The 24 hour marinated pork plate tastes like regular pork… not sure why the waiter recommended this over the other boiled pork plates.
Kimchi pasta was creamy and spicy. The sauce contains the most kimchi flavor in ktown. I would definitely reorder this and may even prefer this to Nandarang’s version.
Sausage plate was confusing because the sizes range from little smokies to weiners to franks. No matter big or small they were all devoured.
The cheese fries were soft and dusted with cheese. I prefer harder fries and more gooey cheese please!
Overall the food was decent and satisfying, but the service was better than average.

It’s nice and big… inside that is… I mean the space! Lot’s of space!
All jokes aside this place has a super duper friendly staff. People are genuinely there to serve you food with lots of smiles.
The food was great. Went with two friends. One LOVED the spicy rice cake dish and another enjoyed the fried chicken wings.
I personally loved the big screens and can’t wait to watch basketball then football here.

Great place to grab drinks and Munchies food with friends after work we order tons of stuff but the stand out dishes was the grill whole squid and fried chicken with conch and onions very delicious. Great selections of beers. Would definitely coming back to try other dishes. Our server Natalie was awesome!!!

Came to ZANBEER for its grand opening with my housemates! even though it was really late and close to closing, they sat us down really quickly. we started off with truffle fries and fried calamaris and then we proceeded to get the «chicken n baitop shells» and the «half n half chicken»!!everything tasted sooo goood and the 20% off really helped us poor college students:) ooh and the owner was super welcoming and friendly! the servers spoke both English and Korean so there was no language barrier! whether youre a college student, working, or whatever, come over to ZANBEER for some bomb food and service! ｡‿｡

Amazing happy hour! $ 3 for fat tire, shock top, Stella, new castle and many more! That’s crazy amazing! And they have $ 5 appetizers M-​F this is a bar for all, Korean, Latino, white etc! Come check it out!

I came here with two friends the day before the grand opening. The food was delicious and I had a great time!
Food:
You can get a little bowl of popcorn for free while you wait for your food! This is the first place I’ve ever been to that does this, and I thought it was awesome. We ordered the kimchi pasta, sweet and spicy wings, and garlic fries. When looking at the menu, I was a bit confused at the concept of a kimchi pasta, but I was pleasantly surprised! If you’re a fan of… well, kimchi and pasta… then definitely order a plate! The wings and fries were great too, but I think the kimchi pasta was the game-​winner for me.
Price:
About $ 17 per person if you choose to have some beer. It seems a little pricey, but the portion sizing makes up for it. I’m so full I’m having trouble staying awake to write this review! Unfortunately, you will probably have to cough up $ 3 for the valet parking too, but such is life. At least you don’t have to worry about getting a spot!
Service:
Multiple waiters/​waitresses came by throughout our time there to check up on us and clear off any finished plates. Each one was very courteous and friendly.
Atmosphere:
It’s a sports bar, so there was some moderately loud music playing in the background, but it definitely won’t stop you from having a good time talking and watching sports games with your friends. There’s plenty of big screen TVs and projector screens throughout the restaurant so you don’t have to worry about not being able to see what’s going on. I wish I was here for Curry’s sick game-​winning shot against the Thunder on Saturday!
Bathroom:
Clean, big, and decked out with sports posters! Really completes the sports bar feel.
TL;DR:
Definitely will be my go-​to place to watch sports with my friends from here on out! ⁵⁄₅

Great atmoshphere. Good to come with friends! I love it because its not too noisy like other pubs!

Went here for the first time on Wednesday. This is my first Korean sports bar. The place is spacious with lots of TVs to watch sports. Also, the severs are nice and friendly.
Had the chance to try a lot of different dishes from vegetarian dishes to meat dishes. My favorite is the deep fried chicken strips and spicy bai top shells, pork feet, chicken wings and kimchi pasta. They have variety of beers and of course cocktail soju drinks.
Thumbs up for the food!
Thumbs up for the atmosphere!
Thumbs up for the servers!
Thumbs up for the drinks!
Cool place to drink, eat, relax and hang with friends!

Used to be a Bear’s cave, my favorite beer pub while back when I was 20s.
Great beer collections and well maintain beer quality.
When you try different beers, the server bring a new cold glasses which is huge plus.
Good beers, and foods. Great place to hangout.

Ive been here already twice. This newly open sports bar is so cozy and fun to drink and eat. They have many beer and food menu. I especially like ssamdak and fried chicken. Ssamdak is bit spicy but so good with cheese on the top. Oh I love their kimchi pasta too. Yummy and cheesy! Well, I am definitely coming again.
Service is also good. They came to us many times to check on us. Very friendly and sweet!
Big screens and games are also plus.

Best Sports bar opened in K-​town.
Yes!!!
Nice atmosphere.
Variety drinks&foods.
Must try 24Hour Marinated Oven Roadted Pork！
Very tasty

We attended a special SNS event tonight at Zan Beer. The food was very good and drinks were just right. I especially liked the fried chicken wings, pork feet and kimchi pasta. The beer temperature was on point. The service by the friendly and attentive staff was excellent.
The décor and atmosphere was great for a sports bar. It’s also a great place to have a few drinks with friends. I will come back for special sporting events and regular nights. Try it out because you’ll like this place as much as I do.

Came here for soft opening event! Lots of food that I tried and they were all amazing for a soft opening. A couple of tweaks here and there, and this place will be poppin.
This place had an assortment of drinks available from pomegranate soju to IPAs and beers. I tried the pomegranate soju, lemon soju, mojito soju, and the goose IPA.
Pomegranate soju: possibly the most delicious soju I have ever had… and potentially the most dangerous due to its subtle taste in alcohol. I drank the whole thing within minutes and almost forgot it was an alcoholic beverage. So tasty & sweet.
Lemon soju: it was a slushi like texture much like a frozen margarita. Alcohol taste was stronger but enough to still enjoy it without feeling like I’m taking shots of alcohol per sip.
Goose IPA: I’m not an alcoholic drinks expert but this drink went down very smoothly. It was rated as a 6 time medal winner IPA.
Mojito soju: the mojito lacked mints. Our drink had limes but no mints. It looked pretty but maybe they forgot to add mint or something since it was so busy.
Food: chicken wings, fried calamari, tofu salad, kimchi pasta, chicken with spicy Bai top shells, edamame, truffle fries, and pork feet. Everything was delicious, but I did think that the chicken, calamari, and edamame could use a bit more seasoning, and truffle fries could use a bit more truffle because it tasted like regular fries. The best dishes of the night was the kimchi pasta, and the chicken with top shells. I didn’t know what top shells were until I looked it up online. Apparently they’re part of the mullousk family which explains the chewy texture. It was mixed in with spicy kimchi and green onions. Yummy.
Kimchi pasta was creamy and had a nice subtle kimchi spicy kick to it. It was a great experience. Servers were accommodating and very friendly. Not bad for a soft opening. Had a chance to talk to the workers and I had a great time.
Would definitely come back one day if I am ever in the mood for some darts or beer pong. Great way to just relax, eat, and chat with some friends. There’s also free WiFi available. Awesome experience.

Love this place !!!
Gotta check here out!!!
Nice mooooood nice place nice food!!!
I ve visited with my family for a dinner but perfect mood here. Little bit dark but obviously here is dark because it is beer place. Love this place.

5 stars for the impeccable service from our server (Jessica), 3 star for the service from everyone else, and 3.5 stars for the food.
Free Popcorn (³⁄₅) — not bad (free)
Blue Moon draft (⁵⁄₅) — fresh (10 cents)
Z5. Fried Chicken w/​Green Onions (²⁄₅) — very bland, but juicy and fresh. The green onions were fresh! Half chicken ($ 10.99) comes with around 8 pieces and whole chicken ($ 17.99) comes with about 16 pieces. Would not order again.
Y3. Stir-​Fry Kimchi w/​Pork Belly (⁴⁄₅) — very good, I would order it again. Not too salty, but I had to order a bowl of rice after a few bites.
Overall the food was okay. Seems like a great place to chill and drink with friends, but I wouldn’t care to revisit. After our server got off work, the service went downhill from there. Although the rest of the servers were nice, they were very slow. It took forever for us to get our checks and for us to receive it back.

I came by for the restaurant’s soft opening/​Super Bowl event and was pleasantly surprised by the overall vibe of the interior! Such a great place to meet up with a group of friends and grab great beer & food.
My first favorite of the night was the bai top shells with vegetables. Sooo spicy and fresh! Though noodles were not offered for the soft opening, I hear they will be soon! Can’t wait to swing by again for this dish with noodles :)
Second favorite — pah dak (fried original chicken with a green onion salad and a zingy mustard-​y dipping sauce)! It’s a must-​try.
It’s a hidden oasis for those weary in line at the many neighboring plazas. Give it a try — you won’t regret it!

YUM. Who doesn’t love Korean fried chicken! To be honest this place was a little hectic to get to because when I went it was raining and parking is valet and sometimes chaotic but it was so, so worth it.
I love the fried chicken strips with green onions (soon sahl pa dak) especially with that delicious dipping sauce. I like this dish because it has no bones so it’s easier to eat (and to dip!!)
Another favorite of mine of the night: bai top shells with vegetables. Oh my gosh it’s so full of flavor and veggies and has just the right amount of spicy and sweet! To be very honest I liked this dish a lot more for the cucumbers and green onions than the bai itself. If you’re wondering what they are, just think sea snails? I tried avoiding that word because it just makes it sound so much grosser than it is! Really yummy though. And it’s GREAT that they have a dish that’s fried chicken strips TOPPED with the bai top shells. Literally my two favorites in one.
Now, I do want to say that the service here is either REALLY on top of it or nonexistent. Sometimes there will be like five different waitresses who come check on you every second and other times you’ll have a hard time locating any of them. But they’re all really very kind and energetic. Still learning, I believe, since it is still in soft opening mode.
Parking here is valet for $ 3 with validation! It can get kinda sucky competing for spots with boiling crab and what not but usually they’ll be able to find a spot for ya.
If you don’t wanna wait for boiling crab, come on up to this place and have some chicken and beer! It’ll be well worth it.

I just moved back to k town again. This place just opened few days ago.
9 of us gave this place a try and we all loved! We ordered 4 different kind of chicken which was amazing and even better than bbq chicken. (i think…)
Will be back for sure!

I visited soft opening ! Many kind of beers and foods in there. .I tried fried chicken with green onion, cheese truffle fried potatoes. I love tower beer !! They have special promotion now. (~ 20% off during soft opening.)
Parking is valet $ 3. services not perfect yet, but so friendly .I wanna visit again after grand opening

Was lucky enough to be invited here for the soft opening on Super Bowl Sunday!
Zan Beer is located in the Brown Derby Plaza, the same one containing Boiling Crab and Honeymee.
Parking: there is a $ 2 valet located off of Alexandria (Brown Derby Valet) or meter parking on the street.
Décor/​interior: A plain exterior hides a modern and spacious interior. Plenty of seating with screens in view from every table. Great place to view sports and/​or hangout with friends!
Food: Our party tried a whole lot of stuff and our two favorite dishes were:
Deep fried chicken strips with bai top shells — I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken strips are laid out surrounding a spicy blend of sliced green onions, vegetables, and bai top shells. If you don’t know what they are… Just don’t knock it til you try it.
Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken — seriously great flavor. I’ve had my fair share of Korean style fried chicken and the sauce on this one is balanced really well.
The owners asked us for feedback (we were their first actual customers) and I am excited to see how they will expand and adapt to their clientele.
Beer selection definitely held more variety than your typical Korean bar. Zan had about 10 beers on tap and many more available by the bottle (possibly 20?).
They ofcourse sell soju. If you’re looking for something easier to put down, Zan also holds Joeunday, a brand of soju that adds sweetness and flavor at the cost of a little alcoholic strength. Pomegranate is tasty.
Watch out for the official opening and give it a shot!
