New pop-up taproom Dokkaebier, serving unique Korean-inspired beers and small plates, is generating some serious buzz. The pop-up is at 1735 Polk St. in Nob Hill through the end of April.
The brainchild of Youngwon Lee, Dokkaebier serves three Korean-inspired house beers: a pilsner brewed with bamboo leaves, a witbier with omija berry and a stout with cardamom and peppercorn. Other beers on tap include brews from Oskar Blues, North Coast and other craft breweries.
The food program at Dokkaebier focuses on Korean-inspired small plates crafted by Daniel Wright, former chef de cuisine at Saison, as SFGate reports. On the menu, you'll find fried rice fries with nori powder, Korean-style chicken wings, baby octopus marinated in gochujang sauce, and a "progression" of 4 Kusshi oysters, each topped with a different condiment.
After Dokkaebier's run ends next month, Lee hopes to find a permanent home for the pop-up.
With a five-star rating out of 11 reviews on Yelp so far, Dokkaebier has been warmly received by patrons.
Kouleen M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new pop-up on March 1, wrote, "Finally have a place for some good beer AND good food! Haven't really found a place that served both at a decent price until this place opened up!"
Yelper Tony T. noted, “Great service, beers and food. Will come back!"
