Master Critic Review
Green Light Korean Pub & Karaoke
7.9
A Korean pub that doubles as a karaoke night out, where the move is to treat food as the supporting cast for drinks and rooms. Come for fried chicken and shareables that hold up under a long hang, then settle in for a full evening with friends.

Insider tip: Start with chicken before drinks stack up—food gets slower later.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking on/near Devon Ave; easier earlier in the evening, tougher after ~8pm on weekends. If you’re coming peak hours, plan a short walk and buffer 10–15 minutes to find a spot.
Dress code: Smart casual nightlife-ready—jeans are fine, but you’ll feel on-theme in a slightly dressier going-out look (especially for karaoke photos).
Noise level: Loud in the main pub area (music + crowd). Karaoke rooms are your best bet for controlled sound—still energetic, but you can actually talk between songs.
Weekend wait: 30–60 min for walk-ins during peak (later gets busier, especially if you want a room).
Weekday lunch: N/A (primarily a night-out spot—expect the real action in the evening).
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes, but it’s snack-forward—look for items like tteokbokki (ask about fish cake/stock), kimchi fried rice without meat, and veggie-friendly shareables. Best for vegetarians who are flexible and fine ordering sides.
Vegan options: Limited—expect modifications rather than a clear vegan lane. Ask what can be made without egg, dairy, and fish-based sauces; you’ll likely end up with 1–2 workable options.
Gluten-free options: Limited and tricky—many sauces and fried items can involve gluten. If you’re sensitive, stick to simpler rice-based dishes and confirm sauces/batter with staff.
Best For
Better for: A full night-out combo where food, drinks, and karaoke all live under one roof—great for birthdays, girls’ night, and groups that want an activity built in.
Skip if: You’re here primarily for a serious Korean meal, quiet conversation, or strict dietary needs—choose a dedicated Korean restaurant or a calmer bar if food quality and pacing are the main priority.
