Jumak (Korean: 주막) were traditional Korean taverns or inns[1] that provided alcohol, food, and lodgings to travellers.[2] They are also called juju (酒肆), juga (酒家), or jupo (酒舖). Jumak were abundant during the Joseon Dynasty and could be found in both rural and urban areas. Jumak came in many varieties with some having stables for livestock, courtyards, and gardens.
One early mention of a jumak was one called Cheongwan (天官) that was owned by a kisaeng (female entertainer).
The Gyeongguk Daejeon (경국대전), devised in 1485 provided rules and regulations concerning the establishments.
