Bars in Pyongyang

Taedonggang Beer Brewery Bar is one of the few genuinely local drinking experiences available to foreign visitors in Pyongyang — but access requires a state-sanctioned tour permit, making the city itself the booking challenge, not the bar. Once in-country, it is easy to include in your itinerary. The beer has a strong informal reputation among those who have visited, the crowd dynamic is unlike anything in conventional travel.
