Welcome to Pyongyang Pub, a North Korea-themed bar and restaurant.
There are posters of smiling North Korean women. There are banners in the style of North Korean propaganda. And there are beers that look like they've come straight from a North Korean state-owned brewery.With its authoritarian regime and tightly controlled tour groups, North Korea isn't the easiest place in the world to visit.
Both the inside and outside the bar are painted mint green, a nod to apartments and buildings in North Korea which are often in pastel colors, according to the owner Kim, who asked not to give his full name as he was concerned about online criticism.But there are little signs that the bar which sits alongside fashionable boutiques and bustling restaurants in the trendy neighborhood of Hongdae isn't exactly like the pubs across the border.
And here, the beer is German -- on closer inspection, the Taedonggang label is only a parody of North Korea's most famous beer. .
