Monday, April 1st – Season 7, Episode 6
Monday, April 8th – Season 7, Episode 7
Monday, April 15th – Season 8 Premiere!!!
And just as we’ve done in past seasons, we’re rolling out some drink specials as well to coincide with whatever outrageous claptrap happens each week with Cersei, Tyrion, Sansa, The Hound, Ser Davos, etc. (And we won’t know what happens yet, so NO SPOILERS, YOU FILTHY MONSTERS!)
Game of Thrones Cocktail Specials

Every Tuesday from 5:00 to 10:00 at Abnormal Taphouse and Cantina, we’ll be offering the people of Busan the best taco deals in town in our effort to bring the American tradition of Taco Tuesday to Haeundae.
For only 2000 won, you’ll get yourself a seasoned pork hard shell taco topped with our homemade pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, and shredded sharp cheddar. How many can you get? Well, that’s up to you and your belly.
Now there is a catch… If you want to stuff yourself with these tacos, you need to order a beer. The good news is we have 13 phenomenal craft beers on tap, including ones from our house brewery, Abnormal Beer Company, out of San Diego, California!

3000 Won Glasses of White or Red Wine
4000 Won Pours of Jameson
5000 Won Pours of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, Crown Royal, and Canadian Club
Alright, folks, our new weekly trivia night is continuing to build, and we are always looking for new brainiacs to raise their swords. If you weren’t able to make it in the past, let me remind you that the pub quiz is now at HQ Gwangan every Wednesday, and there’s a new format:
1000 Won Entrance Fee Per Player / Winning Team Gets The Cash!
Maximum Team Size is 5. Minimum Team Size is 1.
2 Rounds of Questions
3 Categories in Each Round
5 Questions in Each Category
Plus in between rounds, we will have a Beer Bonus round where one team can win a free pitcher of Cass or OB.
We’ll be starting the quiz at approximately 9:00, and it’ll be done before 11:00 so for those of you coming from outside of Gwangan, you can hightail it to your bus or subway to stiff over the taxi drivers–or if you want to keep drinking, nobody’s stopping you.
Following, trivia, come on down for the newest open mic in town starting around 11 p.m.

The ‘Busan International Boat Show 2019’ is Korea’s representative marine leisure fair that introduces everything about marine leisure. The show will be held at the Exhibition Center I, BEXCO, and at the Suyeong Bay Yachting Center in Busan located on the coast of the country for four days from March 28 (Thursday) to 31 (Sunday), 2019.
Established as the country’s largest boat show since 2014, the ‘Busan International Boat Show’ will take place in March this year, one month earlier than its 2018 exhibition in April last year, with the aim of more quickly introducing the 2019 trends of marine leisure.
This year’s sixth ‘Busan International Boat Show’ is scheduled to display a variety of marine leisure-related items such as boats/yachts, engines/components/accessories, and services/equipment; water sports involving fishing gear, diving devices/goods, underwater shooting devices, water ski, jet ski, kayaking/canoeing, and windsurfing; and boating lifestyle items for boat/yacht owners. In particular, a large variety of attractions such as camping cars and goods are prepared for visitors who, following the previous year, continue to enjoy the camping lifestyle even in the New Year.
As for the ‘Special Fishing Hall’ to be operated this year, its scale and quality are highly expected to be upgraded based on the increased great interest and active participation by both domestic and overseas companies.
